Friendship - 10
Friends can meet just for being
together without doing anything

Just being together and doing nothing is called as wasting time in the language of this world. But, in friendship these can turn over into golden moments. For friends, doing something is never the criterion, they can just be together. Let the day be sunny or rainy, it's always the climate of friendship, for two friends! They can even have fun at places where others get bored. Let it be a National park or a galli, it's not the place that matters for them, it's the company of each other.

Sometimes, one of the two friends might be busy in his daily schedule; all of a sudden his friend calls him up and asks for a friendly outing to share his emotions, in simple words, 'talk over' and the one with busy schedule takes out time for his best buddy. At this juncture I would like to give my valuable advice to the person or more appropriately 'friend' who wants to talk over. He must never forget that it is your friendship, which has brought your friend to you, in spite if the busy schedules he had. Never ever by mistake, thank your friend for coming over, this way you might hurt him. 

Secondly make it a point to finish off your talking as soon as possible, keeping your friend's busy schedule in mind. Also do not let your friend know that you are finishing off because your friend is busy, show that your talk is over. If your friend is straight forward person (must be) then he will himself let you know of shortage of time. Never ever ask him to wait for long. Immediately show your readiness by getting up.

As mentioned before, friendship consists of mutual understanding. Understanding should also be both ways. If your friend is so understanding to give the valuable time of her life then you should be understanding enough to leave her as soon as possible.

Also, it is very important to remember that you can never take your friend for granted. Never expect her to come out to meet you as soon as you call her up. Not always should you expect a confirmatory 'yes'. Expecting an affirmative sentence can always let you down one or the other day.

Thus - Friends can meet just for being together without doing anything.

Also - Never ever take your friend for granted. Understand her problems also, by putting yourself in her place.
