Friends and Friendship

I cannot imagine a world without friends and friendship.Friends are the one we dont get by fate,whereas blood relations and spouse are.There is an old saying that "Tell me your friends, I will tell who you are." This says the significance of friend's in appraising any one's personality.Selecting good friends is an uphill task.Good friends may become close friends when one have faith in them.We have to accept that we may opt friendship for compulsion too.If one have to attend a training which may prolong for a week , then we are forced to accept anyone as friend.In such cases, we like to have friendship with one who may be sitting near to us or the one who we may feel intelligent or the one who we may feel native to us in respect to language,region etc.
The friendship in school days are temporary and we forget them when we change school.Thanks to social networking sites, now we can find them in net.Generally we do have a craze to know about them.It makes one nostalgic.But I dont know whether one can renew the friendship which one had in their school days.They have changed their attitude, they have changed their status and they are not the one whom one had seen in their school days.
The friendship in college days have special bonding .Those days were our grooming days and we enjoyed our youth in the college days.But one may feel that the intensity of friendship may fade over years as one pass out from their institution and move on to their journey of career and family.Here we have to notice that over years as one may get mature, and if one may find new friends then the friendship will be a mature one.But this may not be the case with the friends of college days.They tend to be like the one in college days.
We can classify frinds like good friends,close friends,true friends.Good friends are like the one who we have formal friendship.They are not close ones and we dont share all our details with them.The friendship is exchanged by a "Hi".They are good friends because they dont create harm to us.Close friends are the one whom we share about our feelings, sorrow , happiness.We dont keep formality with them.True friends are identified by time.When we find close friends are not true friends , then we feel that close friends are not friends. Time shows us our true friends.
Nowadays, every one is interested to have friendship with strangers in the internet.They disclose their interestes , hobbies in the net .A lot of them have registered in numerous communities of social networking sites like orkut which give a fake personality of oneself.But if one talks to them , we know that they are not the one , what they have projected of oneself.
