FRIENDSHIP.........GREETINGS

There is a strange problem that I have been facing. Is there some way by which one can come to term with this? We meet so many people everyday, talk to several on our way to the office,school,college or simply while we travel. We don't tag all of them under the category of a friend. This is because, as we grow older, our 'real' friends decrease and things like acquaint, colleague, accomplice, guide, partner, etc come into our dictionary. We are born out of choice with regards to parents, cousins, sisters, brothers, uncles, etc. But, we almost always choose our friends. Since the time we are born, we start seeing, meeting people. Friendship becomes so naturally in our childhood. Remember, everybody who was anybody used to be a friend then. Adulthood is more about calculated friendship. We don't want to gamble away our time, money, efforts over some friendship. But, the question remains. How many people do we really meet in our lifetime? Hundred, thousand, ten-thousand! I assume, you are not the one sitting at the ticket counter, dispersing tickets and hence meeting 'n' number of people on any day! Okay!What if, we rewind our life. Then we would have to meet all those people again. Everyone. It is a strange coincidence that people choose to meet other people so without any planning. What is the probability of it all? I wish, we could all meet each other atleast once. See, we are a planet of over six billion people. Why is there so much of reproduction if we all have to whither away without ever meeting. I know it sounds crazy. But, wishing for this friendship day......Let everyone of us remain a friend to each other...............for a reason or for no damn reason. See, friendship does not require one!
