Two of My FRIENDS

These two guys are my friends. I would not like to mention their names in my post. I am talking about them because these two people have showed me one aspect of life. My journey in Delhi for the past 4 years has been a varied one. Where on one side I have managed to meet some really bad people, on the other I have come across these two guys. And trust me I feel obliged to know them because they have shown me a completely different face of life. These two guys, who actually know each other, do not know each other's story and I am the only common person, who knows their story. The reason for this is because I have been patient enough to know their stories. Most of my friends are settled out of Delhi and I know how much I crave to be with them in my bad days. Today I am taking this opportunity to talk about them because I want people to know that the grass is not always greener on the other side.
There is a lot of similarities among these two guys. They share a similar story in their personal lives and they are also the same kind when it comes to not sharing their problems with anyone.Their characters are so strong and that is because they have seen so much. This being a public portal I would not exactly want to say what they have seen. All I can say that they have not really been able to fulfill their dreams at the age when I was going to school and enjoying my life. They had to start off early, so that they could become the backbone of their respective families. And it is for sure that they have lived upto their dreams and aspirations. I have had many friends come and go out of my lives and I know how much I don't like them. Though I also have some amazing friends but these two guys definitely have something in them that makes me feel so proud of knowing them. No one would get to know their stories. But I have this aspiration in me that wants me to write a book and dedicate it to them. You must be wondering what their ages would be. One is 25 and one is 26. And they have been battling since ages now. They have taught that when we try to measure up our own problems and complain about it, there might be more people, who are facing more problems and their journey seems to be a never ending one. In fact, if we look around, there are so many people who are so silent and show that they are enjoying life but have so much depth in them. These two guys also have this quality. The depth in them, their patience level, the way they are, I cannot imagine being like them. If I face a problem, I tend to go into my shell. But now I know I would not do that. Their apsirations are high and I know they would get what they aspire for.
And when I say I feel obliged to know their stories is because they have influenced me. Strongly influenced me. They have left me speechless. Because the way they are when they are among people. The way they control their emotions, their problems. They never utter a single thing. They are real life heroes and they are the two of my FRIENDS. Guys if you two read it I would love to say this to you that I really love you guys for the way you are. You are two people I would always look up to. Love you.
