The true Friend...who are you??

The true friend??
Ok so who is the true friend… I mean is he your friendly neighborhood guy or the pal u drew pranks with in school or the guy you are working with right now...

The advisor...He or she advises you on everything and anything under the sun and you probably won't do nothing if the person wasn't around...some people are addicted to such friends and when such friends get into relationships..my experience says it's a mess!!

The greater good....He's your best pal...he goes ahead and does what he thinks is right for you even if it means going against you...He will expose your little secrets of bunks and mischief’s because he believes he must do what should be done for the greater good of his true friend...I don't get these people...doesn't this imply that you are stepping over the realm of friendship?

The loyalist....He is the true friend for most people...he's loyal to you no matter what..good or bad he will watch your back and expect nothing less...For him there is no morality and the highest virtue is friendship..This more often than not leads him to ignore your vices..Is he the true friend?

The lost love...He or she was once the only one you ever wanted...but they walked up behind you and stabbed you in the heart..yet your heart beats for them..you still put this dignified friend(if I may say so!) above everyone and everything...it's like a drug you could never let go off..

The elder friend...everything about you is known to them and they never overdo any of the emotions..you are very comfortable...but you can never break the wall around them..for all you know...are you really friends??

Or is it Mr. morality…the guy who takes all your support and does what he thinks is right…even if it means making you his enemy..


The associate...it's pretty clear here..you hang out without sharing any secrets..you spend for your own self..you do something for them only if it's not too much of trouble for you..And any deal done should be at least mutually beneficial...It's just like life...you win some..you loose some..

The career guy...you gel up and get driven by your careers..your friendship doesn't exceed the walls of the books...is this a friendly relation or professional friendship or is it friendship at all??

ir may be it is the guy with whom you had a bond long ago..but now distances have come in between the two of you..you don't call each other veryday..but heck..all you need is to dial the no...and you know the person will be there..

We see thousands of people...know hundreds...some of has have a huge hangout group...some a rather small one...but how many of us know who can be the true friend..and e1 if we do..why don't we have them...Perhaps true friends doesn't exist at all...but rather is a state of mind..or they do exist..but only those who can be a true friend can find a true friend...

I for one don't really thing that matters..for me the friends I have are my true friends..but may be someone across the table is thinking..man..how can he be so dumb!!

The only thing which makes most of us make more and more friends is that even true friends are replaceable.....so why bother?? Eat, sleep, dance have a good time..i guess the real friend is the one who shares your happiness the same way he shares your sorrow!!

Indian media heading the wrong way..

Right the Indian Media the so called fourth pillar of democracy seems to be shaking and the ship which has been the lone voice of the common man aka aam adami seems to be changing course.
Of late the media seems to be following the path the western media traced a few decades go which ultimately led to the end of the white mans era of domination. I'm talking about the sensationalism the idea that sanjay dutt can play drums as good as the guitar makes it to the front page!!
Why are we so intent on aping the west and reporting every act of infidelity that is carried out by our bollywood stars(here again we kick the principle of privacy in peoples lives to hell!) haven't we learned that such portrayals eventually lead a society to accept these as things as part and parcel of our lives. As of now i really can't recall five Hollywood starts without a string of affairs or divorces. And these portrayals lead the young college going students to believe that it is very cool to lead such a lifestyle. Anyone arguing otherwise doesn’t want to accept reality.
The Hindi media seems to have lost all sanity. A certain channel feels that it has the religiously responsibility to portray that every fight won by The great Khali is a victory against all odds while conveniently not mentioning the fact that WWE matches are all fixed and that the actions performed in the ring are done with the intention of not hurting the wrestler( a fact which is accepted by the WWE and various other wrestlers.)
And if we go by the reports of another news channel then those of us sleeping in north India should be waking up to have tea with the taliban as every night the danger seems to increase geometrically!!
The pundits of pro western media may say that the society defines the media but they forget that media is the most powerful means of propaganda and it's effects are known to everyone.

The media which is supposed to know what the common man wants or what appeals to him wasn't able to gauge what the voter inside the common man wanted!! Some papers and channels kicked aside the basic principle of media which is to report in an unbiased way. Hence we had a few channels prophesying the return of UPA while some predicted a decisive victory for the NDA and those who wanted to play it safe gave a small lead to either of the two factions.
Here I do not wish to mention the senseless way in which situations of victims of crimes are discussed because apparently the media which is fighting for the victim has no respect for the victim!! Last but not the least these days we have experts for everything on news channels from dog food experts to terror experts all of whom sit comfortably answering questions and giving out new opinion polls to answer.
This does not mean that the media should be censored by the government, the media must realize that it’s primary and only goal is to report news to the people and not entertain them!
