Transition in friendship. From ancient to modern day.

The tale of Sudama and Krishna is known to every one. Story is about, how anxiously Krishna who’s now king of Dwarka ran to the royal main door to receive his old school days friend Sudama, rest everyone in the royal court is curiously watching the reunion meet of two pals, everyone is amazed to see the love and chatter of these two guys, Krishna breaking all stereotype and protocol of a ruler is busy serving his mate, Sudama who’s been living in a poor condition since very long, looking at his outfits & health Krishna is drowned in sorrow and is weeping.

Well! Well! Well! The idea is simply not to tell you the tale of these two gentlemen and I sincerely believe you know about this story, I honestly believe my readers are par genius hahaha.

Krishna and Sudama were the two ancient guys, but we so-called more civilized human race of this current era are completely different. In spite of love and respect for a friend, we people believe in birthday bumps. Love and respect are lost somewhere in the past and intensity of abuse is a new parameter for the determination of the order of the friendship.

Honestly guys I sincerely have no complaints about this new trend and I won’t be hypocrite to say, No don’t do this at all, in fact even I follow the same trend but I see it as a very feeble parameter to determine a true friend, since abusing and violence(so-called violence of love) is not really gonna cost even a penny to show his\her loyalty for you. I mean what does it really takes give a nice full fledge punch on the next person’s back with wrapped absurd language, and giggling and saying “ tu to mera yaar hai”. Ironically you really need to be physically tough to accept it and say “ haan bhai sahi hai”.

Aren’t we moving towards the ultra level of social life? Where abusing and violence becomes the loyalty parameter. It really becomes hard to figure out who really the real person is since it’s very easy to pretend and be abusive in the name of “Prank” of today’s trend of the alliance as a friend. We’re getting into the more virtual world than the real world, I’m frightened later on it might become difficult for us to distinguish between real and virtual life.

Let me ask you a question, do we people can ever be as generous as Sudama, can we ever be as cool as him, the way he went to Dwarka to meet Krishna without even a thought that Krishna might judge him. Can we be? But wait! Are we that stupid that we’ll wish to be a Sudama like I mean a poor fellow? Rather we’d wish to be a Krishna and try to see the things another way around, no?

And that’s where we have failed to be the genuine person, the focus is more on being stable than being good and we expect loyal relationships, there’s no wrong in being stable but the issue is your priority over other things.

Let us see the things from a different angle. There’s a Bollywood movie and there’s a conversation between a young girl in his late twenties and an old man.

Girl — Shiv(the old man) how come you never had kids?

Old man — We just never felt the need, 40 years just flew like a breeze!

Girl — 40 years!!! FUCK!!!!

Old man — Fuck?? Ohh! You mean how beautiful.

Am I sounding little irrelevant today more or less?

You see there’s Krishna within, ask him if I’m really sounding irrelevant, I ask you to introspect here, you might get into consensus with me.

Thanks.
