Recent events have made me wonder what this "friendship" thingie is all about.
It's not what you feel about classmates/batchmates in engineering that wears out the moment you step out of college.
It's what makes you spend a reasonable amount of money and a lot of effort to spend a few hours with a select few friends. Of course exceptions exist.(I couldn't meet everyone I wanted to meet the last, short trip).
I will still be friendly with my classmates, but with most of them I am not and was never "FRIENDS"
This quote I got on iGoogle summed it up for me wrt most of my 'friends'.
Contrary to general belief, I do not believe that friends are necessarily the people you like best, they are merely the people who got there first. - Peter Ustinov
Ankur said "Friends are the people you don't have to impress anymore."
friends are the people who have accepted your shortcomings and love you nonetheless.
These lines from the FRIENDS theme or whatever would sum up how I feel:
No one could ever know me
No one could ever see me
Seems you're the only one who knows
What it's like to be me
Someone to face the day with
Make it through all the rest with
Someone I'll always laugh with
Even at my worst I'm best with you
To tell the truth, there's very few such people in my life...and if anything I am thankful for them.

Friends are those people who know you and still like you !!!
Now-a-days, the term "friends" has been confused pretty conveniently with the term "acquaintances". As you said, we have a very few friends in our life and we should be thankful that we have them. Well written...
A friend is not the person who laughs with you.. (Most, most people think/feel/act this way)
he is a person who cries (maybe from within) with you..
v need to understand the difference
