Cost of FRIENDSHIP

As I have decided to dedicate this blog to my friends...here it goes..

What does a friend need? good emotions, support and parties at all occasions. That's it!! And what does a friendship need? Silently, It needs very less things than any other relation in any case, and still becomes most trustworthy after a point of time. When friendship is extremely precious to someone, or as he/she claims it to be, one need not ask the cost for it. At least not put it in monetary terms!!

I was going to gift my Best friend (R2) a gift that he really needed and liked. It was worth Rs. 10500/- and I had only Rs. 6000/- arranged from tit-bits of my savings. (I started to travel by bus instead of auto just to save money. I stopped eating outside, I didn't buy books and pens for they totaled up in Rs.127/-) I called up his very good and close friends and opened up my proposal. After nearly 25-30 days, they called me to reply that they are willing to contribute Rs. 300/- per head!! (which would sum up to Rs. 1200/-) It was their luck that I don't have a habit of expressing my disappointment in really bad words. One friend really wanted to workout for the proposal but again The Indian Crab story....

I was about to for get about this when again the same thing happened with me while gifting another friend!!

For information, I don't have, never had, any excess money to spend just like that. but I am very sure about greater importance of friendship than money!!

I would never understand them for this criteria...neither I want to!!
