Well, I don’t have so many friends. I’m very choosy when it comes to making friends. So among the all three I have, I would like to speak about my closest friend. Her name is Vidpal Kosh. She’s almost my age, that is 47. She’s married, having two children and is working as a teacher in one of the private schools in my area. Basically we met about now, it’s been 14 or 15 years when I was doing my bachelor’s in education. So during the very first day of the college, rather I would say during the admission process, we just became close. Yes, I would say we actually became close because we belong to the same married age group. And then the story began. Though we had different sections in our college, but while commuting, two went from in the college transportation that is bus, we shared the seat, we discussed our day, what happened. Of course, sometimes the syllabus as well. We really had a good time together because whenever we had a break, as just said, even if we had a chance to sit together in the bus and during the college hours, we made sure that we went to canteen at least once a day, even if it was to have a cup of tea or coffee. But we had to spend some time together. And I really like her because we are like-minded. And we can share almost anything without any bias or any fear of being judged. We can speak heart to heart. We can talk to each other without using any linguistic filters. Or even like, nor we have to use, I would say, no emotional filters. There is no kind of barrier while communicating with her. It’s a two-week communication. Sometimes we also act as partners in crime. So it’s like, I think it’s genuine when you are so close that you know that the person is there for you for the lifetime. And the beauty of our friendship is that we do not in practicality use each other. We are not the manipulators.

Well, I don't have many friends. I'm very choosy when it comes to making friends. So among the three I have, I would like to speak about my closest friend. Her name is Vidpal Kosh. She's almost my age, which is 47. She's married, has two children, and works as a teacher in one of the private schools in my area. We met about 14 or 15 years ago when I was doing my bachelor's in education. On the very first day of college, or rather during the admission process, we became close. I would say we actually became close because we belong to the same married age group. And then the story began. Though we had different sections in college, while commuting on the college bus, we shared a seat and discussed our day and what happened. Of course, sometimes we talked about the syllabus as well. We really had a good time together because whenever we had a break, as I just said, even if we had a chance to sit together on the bus or during college hours, we made sure to go to the canteen at least once a day, even if it was just to have a cup of tea or coffee. We had to spend some time together. I really like her because we are like-minded. We can share almost anything without any bias or fear of being judged. We can speak heart to heart. We can talk to each other without using any linguistic filters, nor do we have to use any emotional filters. There is no kind of barrier while communicating with her. It's a two-way communication. Sometimes we also act as partners in crime. I think it's genuine when you are so close that you know the person is there for you for a lifetime. The beauty of our friendship is that we do not practically use each other. We are not manipulators.
