FRIENDS AND FRIENDSHIP..

Life is a combination of experiences. These experiences are gained from mingling with people around us. These interactions are crucial because humans are social beings. From the day we come into this world we gather bits of personality from all around and these bits remain with us for the entire lifetime. The maximum of these bits are obtained during the youth period. Individuals have the most characteristics gained from their parents and next to parents are friends. Thus the saying a man is known from the company he keeps is truly said which rightly brings out the importance of friends in one's life.

The beginning years pass by under the guidance of parents. The rest of the period when one matures the most is moulded by our peers. They support us and guide us. In many cases friends have proved to be the single major reason behind someone's success. Selfless friendship is a rare phenomenon now a days. The puranas are filled with stories of friendship. The mythological story book " PANCHATANTRA" also depicts unique stories related to friendship with real life lessons depicted through them. This is how the importance of friendship is depicted in Indian mythology.

Friendship is very crucial for humans. They are social animals and friendship is the next pure relationship after love. Society can strain an individual with its demands and non matching principles. These make individuals to rebel. The only one who supports an individual during this turmoil is a friend. Its not always the case that like minded people are friends. When there is variety in the circle only then the circle becomes enriching in one's life.

Today friendship has a whole new meaning. This new meaning has been given by the so called social media. People now claim to be friends with people purely based on the fact that they are together and hitched in any social media platform. Its not wrong to be friends with someone you have never met in life. But friends are not just people, they are individuals with their unique characteristics and mindset. These features mould an individual and teach many lessons. One cannot experience everything in life. But one can have enough know how about it if someone in his/her friend circle has experienced it. Thus friends allow us to have wider view points which would not have been possible in isolated existence. These wider view points add up to ones experiences that enriches one's life.

A good friend can build a person and a bad friend can ruin that person. This is cent percent relevant. This needs no explanation as examples are present all around us. People should be picky when choosing friends. This should have utmost importance because in the long run the friends prove to be personality builders or vice versa. In this digital era finding real things is very difficult. Same is also the case with friends. If someone bumps into a person who is just right and has all that's right for him/her, that person should be treated with utmost importance and care. This is because finding a person true to himself is rare these days. These persons can mould everyone around them. Be picky and choose to keep the circle small but quality of that circle high. If you achieve few persons who meet the best of the criteria, then you are both lucky and rich. Friendship is a treasure because its difficult to find and when found can change ones life for good.. 

BELIEF SYSTEM..

TRADITION AND CUSTOMS.

In India life is all about belief and customs. All the elements of life are worshipped and believed to have a deep impact on our everyday life. The customs followed for centuries have given way to a rigid traditional setup of Indian society. This setup is unique and cannot be found anywhere in the world. This attracts many who want to witness it and many in them find the divine bliss in these believes end up adopting them.

Indian subcontinent has been home to many civilisations. The ancient river valley civilisations have enriched the past and have had impact on our present. These civilisations emerged, prospered and then died out but they were all unique in there own way. They also had their own unique contributions in the past.

Indian belief system has become rigid today but it was not like that in the past. It was open and gave way to changes brought about by many civilisations that came and went. It also was happy to adopt and mould itself to influences coming from the new world. But this flexibility faded out and now its a kind of rules to be followed in order to get the result. Anyone who does not follow the rigid rule system has to face the wrath of the society. This in many ways has contributed to the decreased popularity of this belief system. Its old and filled with wisdom gained from experiences. But it is in complete denial of the modern era facts and does not wish to be adopting a generalised approach. 

Belief system if coupled with modern knowledge can lead to many breakthroughs. There are many aspects that cannot be explained by science. In these spheres the belief system should work to contribute the wisdom it packs to positively impact the society. If this can go through in the future then Indian society can advance at an unprecedented rate and can even surpass others because of all the wisdom of life and living it packs. This will make it attractive and will help the human kind as a whole..
