While i talk to a lot of people around, it really doesnt mean i consider them my friends or that they should take me as their friend. <br />It might help having a lot of friends and might help to understand the working of current society and stupid job companies but you know how it is for me. Just have a few 'Good' friends and no need to bug them every now and then just to remind that you 'Exist'. If they are really 'Good' then you wont have to bother them or explain anything ever. As for Facebook, i really think the whole idea of FB is a big joke. Only people who are too bored of their lives have FB account! (might me my personal opinion but think about it ;) ) Friends or not doesnt matter if you are on FB. play a single online game on FB and you might end up having 500+ strangers lurking around your profile. <br />Remember one thing. you can have as many friends as you like but "You cant please everyone"yogShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13266637010954869846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435629330016169213.post-36365614266669504312012-08-05T23:00:30.557+05:302012-08-05T23:00:30.557+05:30Hmm..

They all know it and understand your place in their life. In fact , its just that you have started to blame yourself for being friends with them. You have raised some very valid points and i agree but just take it easy. No one z coming and asking for a share of ur life. Just set ur priorities ryt. All your friends will honestly abide by ur decision. Look, I am not saying i know how to handle all my friends but i see it as a mutual relationship. So, its their responsibility to figure out my role in their lives as well. <br /><br />2. How do you draw the line between 'friend', 'good friend' and 'my bro/sis'?<br />Ans : Sis ?? Seriously :D , you've better vocab than that. Girl friend wouldn't have been that inappropriate. JK. Well, I don't understand why this whole exercise has to be so mechanical? The bond develops with time, thoughts converge and people gel together. At times it happens in seconds, sometimes it takes years. You get to know who are worthy of which title. <br />Reminds me of a beautiful song, though its for lovebirds but suits in this context as well.:D<br />"हमने देखी है इन आँखों में महकती खुसबू ,<br />हाथ से छू के इसे रिश्तों का इलज़ाम न दो .<br />सिर्फ एहसास है ये, रूह से महसूस करो.<br />प्यार(दोस्ती)को प्यार(दोस्ती)ही रहने दो कोई नाम न दो.<br /><br />How do you balance the time that you need to devote to work and the time you need to devote to friends?<br />Ans :Trying to figure that out myself too. I wish we could settle on a compromise formula specially with CAT and other competitive exams approaching.hero wero zerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08704739949095786169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435629330016169213.post-78448807608252952812012-08-05T20:35:56.986+05:302012-08-05T20:35:56.986+05:30Well said!

Yo...First of all, IMHO, you might be over-thinking. You don't really have to take it as an obligation. You don't have to make it work, it will work itself out. What will happen if you don't communicate to me, for say, 1 week? I will try to reach out to you.<br /><br />"Hey RavS! what happened? Dint hear from you since last weekend?"<br />"Hey PK, I am having a bad constipation so I did not felt like talking to anybody"<br />"Oh, that's alright bro happens with everybody..how did you get it..did you eat too much bananas.."<br />"..bla..bla.."<br />"..bla...bla.."<br />"hey PK you are awesome"<br />"thanks RavS I know that"<br /><br />If you don't talk to XP for long he has a standard message everytime "kamine kabhi to call kar liya kar"<br /><br />From a different angle I just wanna say is to don't take all responsibility yourself, give some to your friends too.<br /><br />1. How do you cope up when you have too many friends?<br />Ans. I don't have too many friends so I don't have to cope up with too many friends.<br /><br />2. How do you draw the line between 'friend', 'good friend' and 'my bro/sis'?<br />A The line comes on its own.<br /><br />3. How do you balance the time that you need to devote to work and the time you need to devote to friends?<br />A. All the time except what I have committed to work (9 and 1/2 hours) are for me, friends and family. I often steal some work time for me, friends and family and sometimes I have to give my own time to work. There is no definite boundary. <br /><br />Happy Friendship day :)path3ticblogg3rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00463546598451292428noreply@blogger.com
