Celebrating Friendship!





Recently I had a pleasant experience of witnessing the jubilant and grateful recollection of two class mates, of their time, when they were together for six year for under graduate medical studies.  

Anna was meeting with her after five years. They had lots win common during the time when they lived in the hotel for their medical studies. 

What delighted me was the way they celebrated,  the friendship of those years, with recollections and grateful appreciation of those experiences. The joy with which they recalled the  events in the hostel and in the college. They remembered other common friends and relived their recent association with them. 

It was a joy to see how Anna's friend's daughter shared in the joy of her mother and spoke about the way her mother remembers many events of her hostel and college life. 

It was an occasion to witness and participate in the joy of friendship!



Let me send the flower bunch above, that I photographed from outside Anna's friend's home, to all those, who honour friendship as a sacred trust of respect and mutuality! 

I felt refreshed by the spontaneity and thoughtful ways with which Anna and her fried related and conversed. It was a lesson in discovering the lasting meaning of friendship!
