Friends

Festival of colors, Holi, is being celebrated today across the country. Today people meet , greet, and color each other and try to bury the bitterness  by merging  in colors. Lot of colors, sweets and above all greets rule the festival. I wish all my friends, colleagues and relatives a very colourful, Happy and pleasant Holi. There are lot of holidays in  a year but only one Holi Day. See the change in words. It may be so that our ancestors who define a rest day as Holiday wanted to make it Holy Day or Holi Day where we can meet and greet the people by burying the bitterness, forget & forgive the past.

Some months back , I had mentioned about the humiliation we get during the course of professional meeting mainly from the people we are quite close. The moment they become more important or high grade officers, they forget the old friends and even try to avoid them. I have experienced this many time in last 30 years of my experience and noticed that such incidences are party of our journey. They are required in our life as morale booster so we can remain humble and also try to improve ourselves. People often forget that time is never static and so their level too. Once again time would change and those who are insulting today are going to face the music tomorrow. Then they will not only repent but also get depressed with their behaviour . Life would be alone, aloof and deserted without any friend or relatives near them which would be too painful.
