chapter 1
everybody needs friends.
people whom we can communicate with.
but who can we consider as friends?
friends whom we spend time at the coffe shop.
friends whom we work with.
friends whom we hang out with.
school friends or our childhood friends.
there is no prejudice...
no difference...
and no competition
until one day when we open up our eyes...
and realise that the world is not as it seems.
its not a problem to make friends nowadays.
we dont have to leave our homes.
we dont even have to leave our seats.
we just need to sit in front of the computer and hit some keys on the keyboard.
we have some things in common.
it does not matter if we dont agree on things.
it does not matter if we dont know each other.
we have to accept the risk as friendship is one journey...
which is full of uncertainties.
chapter 2
as written in letters i receive from friends,
near and far...
we move from one place to another,
bringing along sweet memories...
and hopes which we want to share.
like a speck of dust blowing in the wind.
we search for certainties...
and direction for our future.
whether we like it or not,
we have to make our choice and face all the obstacles...
in continuing this inevitable journey.
a journey which wil take us to a new place...
and which will take us home.
chapter 3
restricted, controlled and trapped.
we look for ways to escape from the crisis and problems...
which follow us wherever we go.
burden us.
and free us.
suffocate and stifle us.
again...
chapter 4
sometimes we forget...
that we should not talk just for the sake of talking.
we should not listen just for the sake of listening.
without realising it,
we have actually found someone to fill the emptiness...
and someone whom we can confide in.
chapter 5
when our world breaks down...
we learn to pick ourselves up.
we eat, drink and waste our time as we normally do.
without realising that things are changing around us.
we may have lost the opportunity to utter the words...
and we may be looking for ways to say the words.
but the memories and experiences that we hold...
will hold the friendship together....
that is going to be built.
chapter 6
whatever we do,
we must do properly.
if we want to make a good drink...
sugar, water and milk must be added accordingly.
when we want to prepare a dish,
we must have all the ingredients.
we must know how to control the fire.
and the ingredients must be accurate.
not more and not less.
so that it turns into a delicious meal.
as every mistake we make can affect a lot of things.
finally, when we meet and get to know each other...
when we are going in the same direction...
only time can determine the flow of our friendship.
chapter 7
waiting.
we have been waiting all our lives.
waiting for time.
waiting for opportunity.
waiting for our destiny.
waiting without an end.
to the point where we keep asking ourselves, 'when'?
or 'till when'?
but no matter how tedious and tiring it is to wait...
we are forced to.
it is like an occupation.
or a field that returns no profit.
but sometimes, the wait is worth the while.
when our friends are by our side.
when everything is out of our control...
what can we do?
other than to wait and to hope?
what can we do?...
just wait and watch.
chapter 8
when we realize that the world we build is...
either fragile or is breaking down...
we try as much as we can to stay strong.
as that is the only thing which we can do.
we keep on fighting with ourselves...
and face the burden that come our way.
we can only prepare ourselves...
and wait for the opportunities...
and seize back...
what we have lost.
extra chapter
