Qualities in a friend are impotant ..

The day we learn to talk and socialise is the day

we start making friends .. As we grow up ,

we discover that there are many types of friends ..

Some are more of an acquantaince

and a select few are confidantes ..

To me , the word 'friend' is sacred .. It means more

than just a companion who goes for movies

and have laughs over nothing with ..

A friend is someone I can turn to when I am down and

will always stand by my side through thick 

and thin .. What qualities do I look

for in a friend ??

Firstly , my friend should always be caring ..

This means taking an interest in my problems no

matter how big or petty they are ..

A friend gives me encouragement even when everyone else

is againts me ..

Many people say they are friends , but 

most of them run away the minute I am not cheerful or funny ..

A real frien sticks by me no matter what mood

or predicament I am in ..

After all , isn't friendship about accepting

ang liking people for who and what they are ??

Apart from that , a friend should be honest ..

This quality is crucial to me , coz honesty builds trust ..

An honest friend will dissipate any worries

that he or she is lying to me ..

I must be able to trust the person with my secret ..

Apart from that , sometimes I need

an honest opinion about myself or an issue .. If a friend is honest ,

I can trust that his or her opinion is not biased ..

This is very imporant to me , coz although the truth

may hurt it will help me improve ..

Only an honest friend will be able to do that ..

Besides that , a friend must also

be able to share the same humour with me ..

humour plays a quintessential role in making your day

more lively and enjoyable ..

Friends who can joke and laugh over

similar things make life so much more fun :)

As they say , laughter is the best medicine and a little levity

on rainy days is always welcomed ..

I welcome everyone as my friend .

However , I look for certain qualities which

would make him or her a meaningful friend and someone I can count on ..

Among them would be honesty , a warm heart

and the ability to share 

and participate in the same humour ..
