A CONSTANT SEARCH FOR – AN IDEAL FRIEND

-


Friendship is one of the purest form of relationships. As a ship sails both on a calm sea and the roaring tides, our life goes through good and bad times. The material used to build a ship is very important to weather all the badgering it receives during a storm. In the same way, a friendship also requires Love, Trust, Genuinity, Honesty, and Selflessness to Make a Friend "ship" stronger.


The one person that we constantly search in our parents, siblings, partners, and even strangers is for that one soul that always understands what we want and what we feel without even having a conversation about it. There are no fixed parameters to being a friend. We search for different traits in different people, which makes each friend different than the other. That’s the beauty of friendship which helps us to connect with each person individually. Remember the time when we used to make the things around us, our friends? As kids, the toys our parents bought us were very precious. We used to hold things close to our heart and even give them funny names and played with it throughout the day. Some of us wouldn't eat or even sleep with them by our side until we realized they were lifeless. Relate that with the present-day scenario. Don’t we all have weird nicknames for our friends that has its own unique back story to it! Some usually start off as a shorter version of their name and some are inspired by real-life instances. These names often end up in our contact list as well! Don't we find any small excuse to ask our friends for a 'treat' and eat together. Some of us don't sleep well without talking to our friends about even the smallest of things. Spending an entire day with them and going back home to speak over the phone is nothing new! These are the people that we cherish for a long time and make us feel that our entire life is less to spend more time with them. 

Being a friend in someone's life is both easy and tough at the same time. Life throws a lot of opportunities for us to make friends. Most friendships are formed when we need something. When we miss classes in school, we ask our classmates to help us to catch up with the syllabus. In college, we are almost always split into groups with people who we are not close to. Growing up, we find ourselves going out of our way to be nice to our colleagues and superiors. Making friends for our NEED and calling them as a friend INDEED has been the slogan for years. But is that enough to call someone a friend? Seeking Help in the time of need and never catching up with them isn't supposed to be labeled "friendship". Yes, we all need people to help us to power through during harsh times but using people and not being grateful for their presence is one of the most disrespectful act that we can do. Count on your friends just not for dire situations but for the joy of achievement. For all those souls filled with compassion, needs a huge shout-out. Go thank those people in your life. Let's make the world filled with caring guardians called FRIENDS.

The most beloved part of our life is the joyful moments with friends which we all would love to revisit those moments and also wish to make memories that would stay with us forever. Over the years, having fun from playing with our friends has been changed to "mocking" each other, which is not appreciated. Yes, there is a comfort zone that allows us to take a few things for granted but do we ever wonder what the impact might be if it is prolonged for a long time without the other person ever talking about it? Being put down by anyone drops our confidence level and if it comes from the ones close to us, it leaves a black mark that cannot be erased by a “sorry”. It’s the responsibility of each individual to dig the talent in other people not to taunt at the things they aren’t good at. Each word that comes out of mouth need not be a memorized essay, but it can be presented more compassionately. Being sarcastic might be the trend but passing sarcastic comments and having fun can mentally harm a person. Redefine the way you enjoy life. Laugh at your expense and not at others. Be kind, reciprocate by keeping yourself in your friend position than reacting cluelessly.


We all grow with each other in different situations, life takes us along various paths, we might or might not communicate more often. All that matters is the genuine feeling that you hold in your heart for a friend. Life is short. Find a friend, be a friend, life becomes much easier and simple. A friend in you is a friend indeed that you need- Be a friend that you expect one to be. Only then you find a friend who is indeed a FRIEND. The new tongue twister for this 2020 friendship day. Happy Friendship day!! Celebrate Friend. Celebrate life.

Fix It Frame It!!

A game of puzzle is interesting until you get stuck. You are eager to get a complete picture but the pieces are broken. "Fix it", the mind says but the heart knows it will still be crooked. All the blocks are equally important to get the whole picture, without which it would be incomplete. All the relationships you hold with each and every person in your life is equally important. Some blocks might be big or small, but they complete your life. In the world of likes and texts, be someone's listener of thoughts and hardships. You might not help them completely, but you will make them feel a little better. Choose the blocks of life with which you can help someone fix their puzzle, in turn helping you to have a complete picture of yourself, who is more compassionate in the world of competition.  Celebrate other's success as if it's your own, and you will find more things to be happy about, and remember, when you are happy it's easy to fix any puzzle :)  FIX THE PU...

How General Theory of Relativity proved the possibility of Time Travel.

Time travel has always been a fascinating topic to think about. Will we ever be able to see the future or travel back in time? Would there ever be a time machine or are there any other means to travel through time? What would be the consequences of time travel? What is the Grandfather Paradox? These are just some of the questions that arise when we talk about time travel. But let's start from the beginning.  Sir Issac Newton is considered the greatest scientist of all time. His understanding of Gravity is one of the major leaps in the field of physics. He came up with the Inverse Square Law based on the works of Kepler who told that the celestial bodies "somehow magnetically" moved in an elliptical path around the Sun. Newton wasn't satisfied with the explanation and studied the revolution of the Moon around the Earth. His theory states that the gravitational force of an object depends on its size and the distance between 2 objects. But he always believed that gr...

The Voyager Twins - Looking at an alien sky!

43 years ago, NASA launched 2 space probes, named Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 , in consecutive months which became the 3rd and 4th man-made objects to ever cross the Heliosphere (the region within which the Sun's magnetic field is prominent). This sphere is stretched around 18 billion kilometers from the Sun. This sphere contains the magnetic field and the solar wind that protect the Solar System from Interstellar Wind. This protective sheath is called the Heliosheath. We are not going to bother you with the details of the launch and the specifications of the space shuttle. We are here to talk only about the interesting facts and most importantly,  The Golden Record. 1. Voyager 1 is the most distant man-made object from the Earth currently at 22.3 billion kilometers . It is traveling at 17 km/s which is greater than the escape velocity of the Earth. 2. If it stays on the same course as now, it would take about 40000 years (yes, you read that right. 40000 YEARS)for Voyager 1 to ...
