TRUE FRIEND....


I JUST FOUND THIS POEM IN A SITE AND I LIKED IT VERY MUCH.....



A true friend never walks away
A true will always stay
A true friend looks out for you

A true friend will guard your secrets
Like a precious gift
A true friend is there for you
To give you a helpful lift

A true friend tries to make you smile
Tries to replace that frown
They may not always succeed
But they rarely let you down

These arms for you are open
This heart for you does care
And when I think you need me
I'll try to always be there

I'll listen to your fears
I promise not to laugh
Comfort your falling tears
I'll make this friendship last

I'll keep you near to my heart
I'll always hold you dear
Even when we're miles apart
Even when you're here

I hope I am to you
Everything you are to me
For the friendship we have
Is a special one indeed.

SOME THOUGHTS.........


Well...i dunno what 2 give a blog name...actually i wanted to share some happy moments of my life in trivandrum....
I spent 16 years in trivandrum .........having spent such a long time i have seen a lot of changes here........both good and bad.......it was really tough to leave that place and to start living in another place...
when i hear the name trivandrum ...the first thing that comes to my mind are the beautiful streets...[not all of them..]..but some really are...with shady trees planted on either side...they look really beautiful when its raining....but now with the busy traffic and all..its not the same....
I remember very well..the first days in the school.I along with my friends and an ayah went to the school walking. Ayah used to carry our bags while we walked.It seemed to be a long journey at that time.We left for school around 8:30and reached there almost in time.the teachers used to arrange students in the benches in a peculiar manner;one boy,one girl like that.Some of the boys were really pests.They used to make fun of us.in the evening before going to home we used to play for sometime in the school premises. those were really great moments...but didn't realize at that time...all that we cared at that time was about the simple worries and silly things about spending time in school....one day i really faked fever to sit at home...but that didn't work....and at the end of the year i got chicken pox....actually i was pretty excited to get that...i was sad because everybody in our family got except me....one day i noticed some small spots in my hand...i was really happy! at last i got it....but later i realized that i was wrong...i had to spend my entire day on bed eating food without salt.Icould not go out and play. That was really boring .......but i was relieved when i heard that i got promoted to the next class without writing the exams!!!!!!!!!!
The school days were really fun...i used to participate in some dance programs there..not that I'm good at dancing..but the teachers used to force us into participating....but i left that school in 4th,there was no U.P section there....
I joined one of the famous girls' schools there..i was not tensed to join there because i had my best friend with me.....but unfortunately both of us were put to separate classes....so i had to find some new friends in my class...everybody seemed to know each other...it was really tough to find friends.... but i somehow managed to make everyone there,my friends.
