Is everyone a Friend?



So, the new Airtel advertisement says -"  Har Ek friend zaroori hota hai."   And everyone has appreciated the initiative.But,while pondering over the similar lines-I reached a conclusion although har ek friend zaroori hota hai,par kya har koi friend hota hai."

The dictionary meaning of friend is -"  A person you know well and regard with affection and trust" .
The other day I met a girl at the stop. We talked for a while and left.So,was she my friend?
The neighbors -whom we see every day and interact. Are they anyhow my friends. During these 2 decades of my life,I have met hundreds of people who term me as their friend. But I never understood how can you generalize the term FRIEND. May be that's the reason why-Best buddies/BFF came into being.
Friends -everyone you meet even once in your life is your friend perhaps.

But I have a different perception.You can be my neighbour,classmate or colleague. But, it takes something more to be a friend.
You need trust,affection as per the definition.
But,still there's more.

Friends are-
1.the people who will complete their assignment on time and make you complete yours.

2.those who teach you at the last moments in the most crucial states.

3.Who wake you up each and every morning -so that you don't miss your breakfast and your classes.

4.who will beat you mercilessly on your b'day and still fulfill each and every wish you make.(I still remember my chocolate

cake :) )

5.who respect your principles and values.

6. who know that you are completely insane but will still be there for you.

7.who will bunk classes,take you to the cafe and blame you for bunking the classes.

8. who regularly comment on your facebook disclosing your secrets (Right Apoorva? )

9.who will make a mess of your mood and then come and say "  Chal na ho gya na,chhod na...hota rehta hai".

10. Who will point out your weaknesses and make sure you improve.
 
11. with whom you party after failing an examination.

12. who knows your first,last and current crush.

13.who console you by saying -"  bahut badi nautanki hai"  .

14.from whom you seek advice.

15. ones you ask the solution of a unsolved question.

16.who cancel their trip for being with you on your birthdays.

17. with whom you share each and everything.

18. who know that you are still the same person even after years of separation.

The list would go on and on..

The only thing is- everyone can't be equally important in your life. There are always a few people who make life worth living,who bring out the best in you,whose presence is missed and recognized.

As I said before- "   Every friend is important,but everyone cann't be your friend."  

Little did I know !!
