Friends!

Sometimes there are some relationships that cannot be termed and classified. I am sure that we have all definitely come across one such person on this journey called life. I have never encountered any such person till I came to Bangalore.

As for introduction, his name is Surendar (Suri) and he used to work with me in my previous company. Just throughout my time in Bangalore he has become an indispensable part of life here. He has been a part of the Ups and oh so many DOWNs as well! And I have never had an opportunity to thank him for any selfless deed he has done for me! Not that he would ever accept one too.

I always wonder as to how we manage to find someone to support us along life’s way. There may be periods in which we find ourselves alone in a crowd. We feel there is no one around us to empathize or sympathize with us. But often within a short while we find comfort in someone or something that takes our attention away from sorrows. Is it an intervention from a “power above” or is it a rule of nature that equalizes sorrow with happiness?? Don’t know!
