One of the things that make life worth living is friends. It is hard to find people who do not have friends. Coming into our life as perfect strangers, when people become our friends, they turn into some of the most important people without whom we cannot think of a complete life. We are always keeping in touch with our friends. These people make their ways into our lives through our phone lists, through emails, through various social networks and through what not? These people leave so much impact in our lives that if we think in isolation about the role they play in shaping who we are, we realize that without then we would have been completely different persons. We do not know when we cross the barriers of formality and become such important parts of each other’s life that we feel complete only when we know that these people will be by our sides in thick and in thin. It is often the case that when we come across good news or bad ones, our fingers automatically search out one of our best friends’ names in our cell phone contact list.

People can become friends through a lot of media. Usually, we make our first friends when our parents make us socialize with other when we are toddler or preschoolers. Then, in a more structural environment, we make friends when we come across classmates in a more frequent manner. Other than these, people also make friends on the go, on line etc. As years pass by, we move on in our busy life schedules leaving most of these friends behind and taking a very few with us. But, very unfortunate as it may seem, in many cases we fail to keep in touch with these very crucial parts of our lives.

It is an irony that the more we are advancing technologically and the more scopes we are getting of keeping in touch with people in an easier manner, the lesser friends we are left with. The two graphs, communicating measures and keeping in touch with friends go to completely different two paths. Why does this happen? Why are we ending up with lonely miserable lives with no people to call up at the dreadful times of ours? If we analyze closely, we find that we are greatly at fault. One of the main reasons we fail to keep in touch with our friends is we start calculating the number and nature of past contacts. How is that? We try to remember when was the last time our friend called us? We let our ego come in the way. Well, if we think rationally, life is too expensive and short to let our boasting ego come in the way, because by doing so, we are letting our ego manipulate us and make us suffer by not being able to spend beautiful moments and keep in touch with our friends.

Another reason we do not keep in touch with our friends is that we make too many assumptions. Before we make a call or contact them, we start assuming what might that person be doing right now? Is he/she busy with work; maybe they are asleep; maybe they are attending a meeting. Well, stop making these assumptions. In some cases you may actually be calling them while they are busy. But remember, you two are also important in each other’s lives. Even if they are busy, they can get back to you later. It is important to leave a message and to let them know that you remembered them. This means a lot, to them and in return of course, to you too.

One of the most unfortunate reasons why we do not keep in touch with our friends is that we have various media for maintaining liaisons. Social networks, instant messengers etc are abundant. These are some of the sources that draw the distance more and more. It may sound tragic but it’s true. How does it happen? Well, when we know that our friends are on our lists, we assign responsibilities these interactive media to take care of the friendship. For example, we do not bother anymore to remember their birthdays, anniversaries and even their surnames in cases! We do not bother contacting them because we know that we can virtually poke them or throw sheep at them whenever we want to! So, why bother to call? This is where we go wrong as we take the friendship for granted.

Friends are some of the most precious achievements as well as investments in our lives. It is only when we lose them we do realize their values. It is of immense importance that we remember the roles they play in our lives and keep in touch with them as much as possible.
