Someone wise once said you can't pick your family so God gave us friends.
Most likely, son you may not even know about this when you are gonna read this. There was this actor called Dileep who is a megastar actor in Malayalam cinema.
His skill to make people laugh , I have never seen in anyone else. 4 years back he got embroiled in a scandal which , continues to grab headlines even today.
Now that is not the point of my discussion. For whatever he has done or not on this incident, one cannot deny the favors Dileep has done for others. For instance he would act in a new directors film who often ends up being the king of directors. Helped a lot of his friends from his past life like no tomorrow.
When his difficult time came nobody stands for him. I find that sad.
Again I have my opinion the scandal but I will keep it to myself.
Bottomline You don't desert a friend in their hour of trouble.
I think it is very easy to be there with people when they are successful .
It takes true strength of character to be there in thier times of trouble.
People will never forget those who stood by them during the low period in their life.
Learn to treasure those 'emergency' hour friends' for they are nothing but what fables call as angels.
