Surround yourself with people who know your worth……You don’t need too many people to be happy, Just a few…. real ones who appreciate you for exactly who you are…~ rishikajain.com

Life is all about relationships. Family, friends, colleagues, neighbours – the list is endless. Every day you come across a set of people and bond a relationship with them. Everyday you meet so many people and due to modern technology we meet so many on line. Some you many not have seen them also but we form a bond with them in our life

Some we meet in functions , with some we like their smile and we start conversation with them and stay connected with them. Feel like seeing them again and again. When we love someone and get it in return we feel so happy , we feel like sharing everything with them . 

I feel blessed that I have friends on line and also since I attend religious functions and other functions there also meet so many and some become so close as if they are related to me. Yesterday also one of my friend was telling me I had gone to Bangalore and met a cousin of mine and she was saying she is your on line friend and that she knows your husband too. Yesterday she did not know her name and I told her I know friends through Facebook and this site, so don’t know who she is and today only she told the name and I understood she is from IL.

On line you meet like minded people with whom we have a bond of relationship.
When ;we have common likes and interests our bonding becomes strong and if we don’t meet them one day on line we start missing them. . Agreed its not as good as holding hands with your loved ones and whispering sweet little nothings, but typed-in words still do the trick in the virtual version of real time conversation! 

Though we are far from each other but still we feel we are close. I am blessed that I have so many virtual friends , some have become my daughters, some sisters and brothers. For me its a blessing because otherwise I would have gone to depression because I long for love and when I get from others I feel very happy. 

From my family also I get so much love which cant be narrated in words. My husband’s family is a large one and all are very attached to each other though there are misunderstandings sometimes but when any function everyone makes a point to attend. Recently we had the 60th birthday of my husband’s nephew and we were 35 members who attended and enjoyed the function
