"Friends", such a nice and beautiful word it is. No blood relation, no profit involvement, not from one place still one gives his life to save another's. A friend is one of the few people who will stand beside you from your first date to your baby's delivery.
Yes , today we are talking about friends . Generally , I try to avoid writing on these topics as I am not so good at expressing my emotions to people . I don't know how and why but only few people understands me . So, better to say people are selectively social in my case.
I turned 18 few days ago and in these 18 years I have made 2 close friends . Sometimes I approach towards people to start a friendship but every time I returned empty handed.
It's not us , sometimes it's the people that doesn't deserve us.
Last week I was cleaning my book shelf and red this quote somewhere . I randomly got a thought to make friends from abroad. So, after that I browsed "how to make friends online". I found many sites and applications for that out of which mostly were for dating purpose . But that was not my cup of tea.
,Finally I signed up my account on many different sites and after few minutes I also got friend requests from many people. After identifying the boats and humans I choose only one site to start conversation. That site was quite unique where one has to write a message and put that bottle in to sea and after that someone will receive that on another shore and if he or she accepts that then one can start a conversation.
I wrote several messages and put it into the sea and few people accepted .
Philippines
First person was from Philippines , a 34 years old environment officer . Basically she was also a new user , we started talking
Me- Hii.
She-Hello from the Philippines
Me- How are you doing.
She- Fine , WBU?
I got awkward as I didn't know how to start a ca a conversation. Perhaps she realized what's going in my mind.
She- So, what are you doing these days .
Me- I am waiting for university to open , What about you .
She- I am tired of todays work . I want to sleep .
Me- It's ok , have a sound sleep . Good night .
Indonesia
I got a bottle from Indonesia , this time a 17 year old girl . Here's how the conversation goes .
She - Hello friend.
Me- How are you my friend .
She- I am new to this application , have you made real friends from this application . Is it really works .
Me- I am also new to this application , I think it really works .
She- So, tell me something about yourself .
Me- I am blah blah , from blah blah and I am doing blah blah . What about you.
She- I am blah blah , from blah blah and I am student of Psychology .
Me- Oo, nice .
She- Goes offline .
After that day I talked to many strangers from different points of the globe, from Germany to Australia and many more. But found some beautiful friends also, Jane from Nigeria, a from Nepal, and Sam from Indonesia. So, I got the realisation that there are billions of people on this planet and we are one of them. So, there must be at least a few thousand people like us and out of which few thousands of our age and too few hundreds, we can contact.
I needed only few friends , so it's not that much difficult to find some genuine ones online . After all I got success . If any one want to share something with me then you are most welcomed .
