Yasmeen has tagged me with a poem on friendship.Thankyou yasmeen.

"What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies". Aristotle. A unique blend of affection, loyalty, love, respect, trust and loads of fun is perhaps what describes the true meaning of friendship between two individuals. Similar interests, mutual respect and strong attachment with each other are what friends share between each other.

For me Friendship means Friendship is the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring all right out just as they are… To experience what is friendship, one must have true friends, who are indeed rare treasure.Read my article about friendship &poem here.
