Happiness is being surrounded by loved ones. [Family & Friends]

Family comes first. This is a universal truth that whenever , a person feels isolated or neglected they alwsys find a great support in their family. No matter how worst the situation will be, family alwsys stands for us. The importance of its existence is non deniable. A person is complete when they were surrounded by family. In India, we were brought up since childhood with many familes member father, mother, uncle, aunt, brother, sister, and many more . In today's time too we have the existing joint family system at many places. Well the definition is little different with changing times. But still it is fun, to live together and enjoy. I always prefer family over friends and there is a reason behind it.

Choose honesty, ditch the fakes.

I have a mixed experince when it comes to friendship. Both bitter and sour. It happens many a times or you might have experienced too in your life that whom you have faith and trust turns out to be one who ditch you at crucial time, while whom you never ever met comes out with full fledged support. I have relatively similar experince with friendship.

In 2012 I was running out of money for some emergency funding, it was a meagre amount and my pay was due in 2 weeks time. I do not wanted to take bank loan that amount, so I reached out to my school childhood friends for help. They all were employed too, but to my surprise they denied any kind of support. I even promissed them that I will return money on my next salary and was offering post dated cheque. Those were the circle with whom we studied and played together. It was quite stressfull days and finally I started looking for bank loan. This is when, a fellow cab mate, from a differnt department of my company overheard my loan conversation and pitched in. Without any clauses, he offered me the loan, which took me with surprises. It was a kind of meeting an angel. Since then we develop a good bonding and alwsys support each other. While I distant myself with childhood friends.

Further, I do have many other friends who were ready to help each other alwsys and still meet whenever I visit Delhi. Like we did few weeks ago, small is less and this circle is getting more stronger. It is good to have a cooperative and trust atmosphere among friends to live a memorsble time. Not like we alwsys interact for selfish and mean purpose. Family and friends are supposed to be the pillars of support, especially in difficult times. But having a mean and selfish friends may give a Shockwave for entire life. In today's time it noteworthy to choose friends very carefully.

Best friends by chance, sisters / brothers by choice.

Spending more time with our friends and family is beneficial to our mental wellbeing, as well as our relationships. Having a strong network of supportive family and friends helps enhance our mental well being and increase happiness. Humans tend to go to their families and friends for support, love, and acceptance, and friend groups can become a "second family," especially for those without strong bonds to their family. Our relationships with our families and friends are some of the strongest, most important relationships we have in our lives. We must respect them than disrespecting.

As I said earlier, living inna joint family is a fun altogether. It is fun to have a family member living close by all the time. Like I have innput native place. It is a little own group of people forming own society and everyone is welcome to join in. Any festival, or any occasion gets more enjoyable, with the presence of everyone together.

In my observation, the bigger the family the better it is, the smaller the friends the better it is. Afterall, a small friends circle ends up to form a family itself.
