    I have always been fortunate to have a few people in my life who understand me, share the same values, believe in the same things I do, I call them my friends. In life it is not necessary to have money , if good friends are there that is more than enough. Though I have not been rich in having money but have been rich in having friends right from my childhood. In life we are busy looking for what we want but dont realise that we already have all we need, family,friends and love. Friendship is not how long you have been together . Not how much you have given or received. Not how many times we have helped each other. Its how you value one another.

    The present state which I am experiencing in IL I used to experience while working too. I had so many close friends when I was working. I worked for 36 years in the Company but my friends kept changing as they either got married or got a better job. But I was constant. With some I had contacts and with some I did not have. I used to take breakfast everyday to office and have it in office only because I had to leave early from home and there was no time to eat. I always had some friend to give me Company during breakfast. Sometimes a friend will be pregnant and they always loved my idlis very much. So whatever breakfast they used to bring they used to give me and have idli from me. One of my friend used to bring bread with lot of butter or cheese which is healthy but instead of having that she used to have idli or dosa from me. I

    I can feel the same thing here in IL. In these six years I have had so many friends, some have stopped coming here but still I have contact with them and with some I dont have contact but always remember them. I always had rich friends , they did not seen what I have but they were attracted by my love towards them. That is real relationship. When two hearts love or like each other they dont see anything . Their relationship grows with the love and affection towards each other.

    Friendship is a priceless gift that cannot be bought or sold, but its value is far greater than a mountain made of gold. For gold is cold and lifeless, it can neither see nor hear. and in time of trouble it is powerless to cheer. It has no ears to listen,no heart to understand, it cannot bring you comfort or reach out a helping hand. So when you ask God for a gift, be thankful if he sends, not diamonds, pearls, or riches but the love of real true friends. Thank you my friends for being in my life
    Natalia Love quotes | added by: glensauto14729

    The main place for Truth is the Tongue, Love resides in the Heart,
    and Compassion lives in one’s Eyes.


    If someone asks, what is the definition of Truth, then stay quiet; this is the illustration of Truth.

    If someone asks you to define Love, then laugh a little; this itself is Love.
    If someone asks you to explain Compassion, then let your eyes moisten; this is the meaning of Compassion.

    Good one IV.

    So your idli's made more friends than you :)

    True love has richness in itself than from the riches that we aspire to have.
