The most precious friends!

Summer 1997, my father introduced me to some friends. He knew I was a restless soul, wanting to talk, listen, learn, indulge in activities and never wanting to feel bored. Hence he thought these friends will the best for me. He knew I needed these friends for life, in every high and low moment of my life they will be there for me. They will guide me, they will make me laugh, they will make me cry, and they will support me whenever I feel down. They never laughed on my problems, they never made fun when I cry, and they were always present to give me a warm hug.

Parents often scold us when we spend too much money on friends but my father never said a word and willingly let me spend on these friends. He knew these are the loyal ones for life. He also asked me introduce all of my other friends to them, and I still do the same. Whenever I feel someone needs guidance, or a good laugh I introduce that person to one of these friends. These friends are great to have a coffee with, or a late night chit chat. Just a while with them and all the stress goes away.

These precious friends are none other than books.
