How to Make Friends?

New crispy shirt eating away your skin? People staring at you as if you are an ET? Random instructions hurled at you which you absolutely don’t understand? Chances are that you are standing in a new school. This is the moment of justice when you bury away your old memories and brave on to make new ones.  But chances are that its been three weeks in this new compund and the only person you’ve talked to is the receptionist who gave you your admission form and the only place to which you know the directions is the damn washroom.

People come to me and ask, “How do you make friends?”  Let me tell you a secret.

All it takes to make a friend is…..

A dollop of ‘Hi’ with ‘smile’ according to your taste and of course a little pich of ‘politeness’ or else the thing would go bland.

If YOU want to make friends, it YOU who has to outstretch your palm and be a good person. Maybe you don’t make friends at the first handshake and it might take 38 handshakes, 4 heartbreaks and 546 embarassing Hi’s and first meetings to find that ONE faithful friend, but its worth it. And do remember every person is not the Edward or Bella you look out for, probably not at the first instance. So time, it takes time and tries to make true ties.
So, stretch out your personal 180° and GO! Make friends. J
