My friends

Funny thing is that most of my friends are young. How young? from 30 to 40 maximum! They even think that I am about 36! I am sure I have written about this earlier. But this idea amazes me so much that I am repeating it. This is all about mental makeup. I feel I am young.May be my behavior with my colleagues is being like a younger person. So, they welcome me with open arms. They can't think of some party without me. Not that I am a joker. May be because I am an easy going person. I generally don't poke my nose too deep into anyone's private affairs. I have been given by nature 2 big ears. I generally do listen to people sympathetically and behave empathetically. They all pour out their woes and they don't even warn me that it is only for my ears! It is understood. Goes without saying. Default condition. It is a boon and a uncomfortable feeling too. Why a person should think that I can solve that person's problem? I don't. I give my suggestions only if they ask. Why am I saying all these? For two reasons. One, be young at heart. So you would die young! Other, listen to people when they want to speak with you. They are actually not considering you to solve their problems, sort out their whatever it is! they want to think loudly and search for a solution which is inside them. They want a 'punching' oops listening instrument!!!!
