First, I was hurt, disappointed and later angry that my team members didn't call me up. <br /><br />Then I worried if I had overly exaggerated the friendship. I realized I had. Later, I thought how they would be all happy to take up my tasks and prove that even they could do what I am doing....<br /><br />I am enjoying this time; been reading a lot; averaging a book a day. Thanks for recommending a book - i will pick that up. <br /><br />Balan, I acknowledge you holding the patent of addressing me as 'B' however I think you are fine with others borrowing it as well :)Insigniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09819054091062923489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050700084750309897.post-90373694818179795172013-05-16T18:24:57.170+05:302013-05-16T18:24:57.170+05:30Anil,

Then I realized why was I so worried. Why should i crave for attention? I am being I am..none has to prove my worth; I know my worth. But to realize this ; I needed this Anil. <br /><br />I was in a false sense of best friends and all that; now I know to deal with friendships.

You haven't...Shocked to learn of your accident! You haven't said how you met with it. But you seem to have made best use of the situation - that is to reflect on relationships. It is of course disappointing and disillusioning to discover what relationship is all about , esp;, that between friends that we all wax lyrical. Like Anil said, and I too have many times, one has to accept 'what is'. The problem is with you/us who tend to exaggerate the value of friendship. <br /><br />I think a large number of my posts have been about friendship - I swore on friendship - yet imagine my chagrin when I realized what a friend of more than quarter of century thought about me - I could be the most despicable character he/she ever knew! It threw me totally off balance - it was sickening to learn how I really seemed to him/her (and he/she went public, ha ha ha) and all that camaraderie of bygone years was just bullshit! :-) <br /><br />What makes you sad is that none of your team members have spared even a couple of minutes to inquire after your health. When I used to work as a clerk in the Bank, every time an officer or supervisor falls ill, we thought of it as a bonus - we would get 'officiating allowance' in his absence! :-) <br /><br />Well, B, we do need to shut down once in a while, take time off to ruminate over one's past and perhaps glean a lesson or two from it. <br /><br />Remya said it right - no friends for life - period! Noticed that she too calls you B - I have the patent, you know! ;-D<br /><br />Get well soon, read a few books . I recommend Paul Theroux's The Tao of Travel. Great stuff! It also connects you to other travel writers...Balachandran Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174364716507089780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050700084750309897.post-71850808167452130162013-05-15T12:04:19.918+05:302013-05-15T12:04:19.918+05:30The metaphor is striking,"forced shut down&qu...The metaphor is striking,"forced shut down" and uninformed no boding and or warning!<br />Why do we relate or hitch our happiness to another's whims, likes, calling us to say "hi how are you" , so on and so forth?. Why do we crave for others to notice us , to express concern at our plight , to love us? Are we not increasing beggary by begging for these fantasies?<br />If it is , it is and if it is not , so be it!.Why cannot we accept this?anilkurup59https://www.blogger.com/profile/07961961217418715354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050700084750309897.post-20348280168389411502013-05-15T06:51:20.615+05:302013-05-15T06:51:20.615+05:30Get well soon.

Enjoy your break and you said it right : There are no so called "friends for life"; its just a notion to many; only lucky few get such friends.<br /><br />In a way glad that this minor accident happened which led you to prioritize. <br /><br />Take care B!Ramya Ranganathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10836197836083082458noreply@blogger.com
