"Friends"

You socialise with a bunch of people for a while, exchange pleasantries, spend time together... does not mean you are 'friends'...

I spent 54 days with about 300 plus people from 11 countries, sleep in the same room with 2 people and shared families with 8 others. I also worked closely with 20 other, discussing and developing new things. Even though i know I have only made aquantainces... despite being in close proximity... i thought i atleast have made friends with a fistful...

Recently, i emailed LOADS of people because i needed a favour. I wanted people to shop for me, an item that could not be purchased here... but easily and readily available there... Plus, i was forking out money... and more over... its meant for my patients....

It should not come as a suprise when no one replies... but no one did... and i was suprised....

I mean... its not meant for me... they are helping save a life by doing some shopping for me!!! is it that difficult???

Friends.... do you really need them??? They seem to disappear when you need them...
