One friend I absolutely love talking to is Roopa. We are friends from quite some time now. We met during our undergraduate and since then we both are inseparable. Despite she lives in another country now, we are dealing with long distance friendship, but still we both have each other back. One thing which I really like about her is that how honest her opinions can be. She always gives me a new perspective to my version of situations and whenever I am in difficulty or a situation which is very hard for me to deal, she would always come to rescue me. At this point we talk about mainly everything because our conversations are never made up. They just flow naturally. We talk about her career growth to our personal life experiences and sometimes we even move down the memory lane and discuss our old habits and our old mistakes we did together and laugh it on. Besides this I would say she is one of the amazing person I met and an honest one. Her opinions are always honest and they are always insightful. Besides this she is an amazing listener as well which make us a great compatible, which make our friendship even more compatible because she is a great listener and I am a talkative person. So I talk a lot, she listens a lot and that’s when I balance our friendship. At the end of the day I am grateful for this friendship because I have learned a lot from her. Not just how a person should be but how a person can be. She is always an inspiration in one way or another and I always vouch for her no matter what.

One friend I absolutely love talking to is Roopa. We have been friends for quite some time now. We met during our undergraduate studies, and since then we have been inseparable. Despite the fact that she lives in another country now, we are managing a long-distance friendship, but we still have each other's backs. One thing I really like about her is how honest her opinions can be. She always gives me a new perspective on my version of situations, and whenever I am in difficulty or facing a situation that is very hard for me to deal with, she always comes to my rescue. At this point, we talk about mainly everything because our conversations are never forced. They just flow naturally. We discuss her career growth, our personal life experiences, and sometimes we even go down memory lane to talk about our old habits and the mistakes we made together, laughing about them. Besides this, I would say she is one of the most amazing people I have met and an honest one. Her opinions are always insightful. Additionally, she is an amazing listener, which makes us very compatible. I am a talkative person, so I talk a lot, and she listens a lot, which balances our friendship. At the end of the day, I am grateful for this friendship because I have learned a lot from her—not just how a person should be, but how a person can be. She is always an inspiration in one way or another, and I always vouch for her no matter what.
