A friend in need is a friend indeed. This famous saying holds true. A true friend never sees only your good days and good deeds but he stands by you even on the darkest day of your life. Ramu Rao studies in my class. We have been friends since class two.
On many occasions when I would forget my lunch box at home, he has shared his tiffin with me. Once when I nearly fought with the class bully he saved me. He thought that no good would come from bad actions and to get good things in life one must do good things too. Like you throw flowers towards the sky they fall on you. So if you were to throw a handful of stones, they would also fall on your head. I shall remember this always.
When I broke my leg, Ramu came to my house regularly with notes and homework. He helped me keep up with school work. There is so much I learn from him each day. He motivates me to do well in studies. He encourages me to take part in school games and literary activities.
I have learnt that there are fair-weather friends. These people will be with you only in good times and desert you the moment your chips are down. A good friend stands you in good stead all throughout your life. You get strength, inspiration and happiness in such a relationship. Ramu Rao has been all of this to me.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
His virtue of patience and compassion for all is indeed amazing. That soft spoken countenance and dignity with which he conducts himself shows his good culture and upbringing. Even though he is from a typical middle class family, his fundamentals and beliefs are very strong. I am proud to be his friend. He is indeed my best friend.
