There are times in your life when you have so many things going on in your life that you need someone to come and uncomplicated stuff together hand in hand…2012…Weird things happened in life of someone I knew well…Started with financial instability to losing friends…all at once..His father passed a medical attack one night…Family suffered through a lot…As uncle was the only one who worked hard for supporting the entire family financially…hence, obviously the financial level of entire family declined…Family issues were not yet over, As far as I know, his uncle was filing a case against them for property ( normal now-a-days ).
But that was the pain that he could share with the entire family…but then one out of the two of his best friend fell in love with him…Aaahhh! But he didn’t have any feelings in heart that can stretch him to experience the best in his life…so, the life got more complicated and all the repercussions could be seen from her side…she wanted time from him…demands increased suddenly, friendship became burden for him but relationship for her…Things got head banging ( As I was told ) and then moreover, the another best friend was not sensitive enough to understand him and sooth him…He was broken and all went bad…When he went to his “another” best friend and tell him about the problems…something that he always got was “ignorance”, “hurt”,”Lies” and “Betrayal”…All he did was cry.
But then, he learnt to manage alone, learnt to manage without help, learnt to ignore, learnt to be independent. He handled his father, helped him in accounting and then finally got everything stable in family…moved on and never talk to the girl who could not understand him at the worst of his time…and about “another” best friend…he is just amongst other friends he has…but all he is now is “HAPPY” and “SATISFIED”. After all he has managed to be an individual…stronger and smarter then before…
Well, What I learnt from all that I saw is that firstly, you come here alone…and you have to live alone…all you have is your family “APNE TO APNE HOTE HAI”.
Secondly, if your friends can’t handle you at your worst times, if they can’t take a stand by your side when you are in a need…they don’t deserve your friendship…friendship is not about taking, it’s about giving.
Third and most importantly, God has his plans set for everyone…incidences like these make you strong individual and make you understand life in far better way…Somebody have said rightly “Life is a race track…where you have to run alone and cross hurdles and once you have crossed all you win the race” :)
P.S : "I found him a completely different person, happier and stronger...Proud of you"

Its the number one truth we all must face and that is life is the roughest ride you'll ever get on. My favorite quote comes from the movie Rocky, "No one hits harder than life, it will bring you to your knees and keep you there if you let it."
