The relation called Friendship
I was really too much reluctant to translate my own article from my mother tongue Marathi to English. But then for few of the friends, who don't know Marathi language, I have tried my best to translate the same in English and really enjoyed while doing that.
Thank you all for liking the Marathi article, those know Marathi and also those who can't follow it in Marathi.

I will try my best to traslate sooner or later most of the articles or poems from Marathi to English, which one may like to read.

One of the best example from ancient age about unconditional way of friendship can be given from Krishna Parva from Mahabharata, that was of the friendship between the Lord Shri Krishna and his childhood friend Sudama.

Sudama was poor Brahmin and after many years his wife told him to meet Krishna, who was King of Dwarka to get help for their family well being.

Reluctanly Sudama agreed and left for Dwarka with small quantity of etable made from heat pressed rice called Poha (which many Indians still eat).

When overjoyous Sudama met Krishna; he was treated with great respect by Krishna.
Krishna find himself the gift from his friend and ate it joyously. But Sudama didn't speak anything to Krishna for help...

After returning to his home; Sudama found is hut wasn't there and there was a Bunglow and all his family then lived happily ever.

But what if Krishna didn't help his friend?
Then if Sudama would have returned without any favour from Krishna; he would have been as the best friend as he was earlier and never blamed Krishna...

Is it possible same kind of friendship in today's time?
Yes really.
I have seen a friendship of that kind.

Such friendship inspires us to be one of the best friend of someone with unconditional care for each other.

Such gentlemen then whenever someone from family of friend meets; are always eager to know about wellness of their friend and his family. Even after death of a friend, they think & speak about the friend with same connectedness...

Friendship may be the reason for unconditional way of being connected, or may. be for meeting once in a while, or for need of any kind of help, or meeting and speaking casually with friends.

It's not at all wrong to ask for help at our genuine needy condition; but expecting a confirmed help from friend or anyone whom we know, will hamper our friendship or relationship, that too due to our own ego.

The day from which we keep aside our ego; from that instance we start respecting and even adding up, getting back & recovering all of our relationships...

There is very nice verse of worth to be mentioned from the prayer of Hindu diaety, Shri Guru Datta.

मी-तू पणाची झाली बोळवण...
We leave all sorts of egos and differences from our minds...
