Must admit that, I am one of the lucky ones who is chosen by God as if, to have good and earnest friends. I have quite a few good and real friends who love me and are proud of me but the one and only one of them, dearest to me is my friend Rohit.

Rohit is in my class and in the same school that is Delhi Public School, Mathura Road. The pleasure I get when I am with him or even when I just see him is immense. I do not understand how, when I am with Rohit my worries fly off I don’t know how and where, only God knows.

When I am with Rohit my happiness increases manifold, and I feel as though the world is in my arms and why this happens I just cannot tell as, I myself do not know or understand. I only know that, the feelings I experience when I am with him indicate how much I love him.

I remember when we were both in a lower class, once I told him, “Rohit do not be absent from school without telling me for, without your presence in class I feel very dull and depressed. If you do not come to school I feel as though there is nothing in school and I also want to leave it and go away.

ADVERTISEMENTS:

In your absence, there appears to be an absolute vacuum in the school, the huge area seems to be devoid of life though there are a thousand and odd children in it.” These were my childhood expressions and even today, I feel the same for him. On the other hand, once I remember two months ago, when I went out of town with my family for a fortnight, Rohit fell ill and in his weakest moments he would call for me.

This shows that, the intensity of feelings is the same on both sides, and this I’m sure is a sure indicator of true love and friendship, and as if we are two bodies with one soul.

This is the status of my friend Rohit in my life, he is as if, my very breath and keeps me alive. He is my adviser and guide in all my decisions because, I feel he is more mature than me, and understands problems more easily than me. Whenever I do something wrong he very frankly and openly tells me, “Atul this is wrong do not repeat it.” He loves me inspite of all my shortcomings and does not make fun of them. Instead, he helps me to overcome them as far as I can.

Whenever I want help of any kind, he is always ready at hand without a frown. We study together, we play together and have fun together and to a great extent our likes and dislikes are similar. Our friendship is often a source of jealousy to other students of our class and even the school. Our friendship is well known throughout the school, and, many a time, boys have tried their level best to separate us.

ADVERTISEMENTS:

They tell all sorts of stories about each one of us to us only, trying to form a wedge between the two of us. However all their attempts were futile and, I think, instead of breaking the friendship such nasty attempts have, and on the contrary strengthened it further.

Thus I can say the friendship has stood all the tests of time, and nothing has succeeded in breaking the bonds of friendship between Rohit and me. Such is the everlasting bond of love of friendship and, I am sure that only a few blessed ones like the two of us have such wonderful luck in getting and making friends.

I am very proud of Rohit and am sure that he will never leave me in any time of need or distress. He is a lovely gift of God to me, and, I do hope and pray that all people have at least one friend like Rohit. He is worth his weight in gold; I of course would not exchange Rohit for all the wealth of the world. This is my friend ROHIT.
