Like to make new friends

In life everyone has their own speciality and own interest to do something in life,like that I have a interest to make new friends.I would like to share some words how can we become a good friends.
This is a passage which explains how to be a good friend.
I will try not to get to soppy and lovey dovey and keep details strictly to the cold hearted facts (actually, maybe I won't be that severe and detour from the cold and hard facts occasionally!).
Step 1: I suggest that if you want to be a good friend you become friends with someone you actually like. This automatically eliminates all teachers, politicians and people who get rid of school holidays.
Step 2: Once you have found someone you have things in common with, you should expand on this and get to know you friend better. Perhaps inviting her to sit next to you in maths or even talking to her now and then could help.
Step 3: If you mutually decide you have some things in common, good - you have found yourself a nice new friend. If you don't have anything in common, don't worry and keep searching - there are plenty of other fish in the sea!
Step 4: Now yes, this friend will require quite a large proportion of your time, because naturally both parties need to be enthusiastic for a friendship to blossom. This means that you will need to support your friend in all their chosen paths, but be prepared to advise them against treading through dangerous waters.
Step 5: A friendship which is built upon mutual trust, respect, support and (my favourite) the acceptance of differences and the right to be an individual will foster other benefits such as loads of fun times where you party together or just hang out and share secrets (now don't deny it - these are the benefits that you were just itching to hear about!!)
Step 6: Well, now that you've found a friend, you should work on keeping them (that is if want to be a good friend and not just a friend fling). My best word of advice would be to continue with the above steps, make your friend feel loved and wanted and show you do care about them. If they're down and feel like they have no one in the world, prove them wrong by rocking up totheir house with a bunch of sunflowers and a bottle of wine (or cordial, depending on how old you and your friend are) and talk through their concerns with them. If you're no the flower type, take them out for a big night on the town for a sure fire way to lift their spirits!
And so everyone, after almost three years I have finally completed my piece.(see, miracles do happen, this is living proof!). If you chose to take my advice and it sucessfully finds you a good friend, then I fulfilled my task!! I now wish to sign, stay cool and happy friend hunting:)
How the friends are important in my life.
Friends that watch your backFriends that play with your heartAll act the same from the startBefore you know it some disappearOthers stay beside you for lifeThose are the friendsThe best friends
Now I am talkin so many things about friendship so I would like to share one story of true friendswhich are as follows.
True friends never leave each other even if one of them is walking on the wrong path of life. A true friend will try to correct the other in a way that it does not hurt the ego of the other friend. Friends don't mind when mistakes are pointed out; rather they try to accept it and change themselves for the better. True friends are those who inspire others to become better. Given here is one such inspirational story on friendship. Check out this motivational story of friends.
There were two friends who were the best of friends since a very young age. As little girls, they used to go to school together, play together and sometimes even stay at each others places. They were next door neighbors and thus their parents were also friends. They both finished school and went to the same college. Everyone knew they were the best of friends. There was nothing that was hidden between them and both knew each other inside out.
After some days, one friend found the other acting strange. She would remain withdrawn, sleep too much and turn violent if provoked. At first the other friend thought it was just the studies getting on to her. But with time, she became even more moody and frustrated. Finally her friend couldn't take it any longer and confronted her with the problem. She broke down and confided that she was involved emotionally with a guy and he was taking drugs and forcing her to take them too. The other friend listened to her tell the shocking story. She was not only forced to take drugs but was also forced to bring money every now and then and was threatened with dire consequences if she told anyone.
Her friend was too shocked to think anything and advice her right then. So she made sure that while her friend cried herself to sleep, she would think of a way to help her. Finally she thought that she would come up straight to the point and tell her to leave this guy and get a life. She contacted the college counselor who was a psychologist and told her the problem. She offered to help and also said that matter would be kept under wraps.
The girl was then advised by her friend to leave this guy as he was torturing her unnecessarily. Her friend reminded her of her dreams of becoming a successful professional, inspired her to set an example for others and reminded of what her parents would feel if they found out what their daughter was upto. After a lot of cajoling and talking, she finally agreed to leave him. She was given basic counseling and was weaned off drugs quite fast. All this while, her friend never left her side and always stood by her.
Finally they graduated and the friendship only grew stronger. They both went on to become successful professionals but never let each other down by adopting foolish habits. Thus, true friends are those who inspire you to become the best you can ever be. They have full confidence in you and won't rest till you achieve your goal.

So, Be always frinds of mine....

Visit to Haharihareshwar,Shreevardhan, Dive agar and Murud Janjira

Visit to Shreevardhan and Harihareshwar and Dive agar

I want to share one of my memorable trips.

On 7th of December 2008 I decided to go to Shreevardhan. I stay at Vikhroli Parksite. I started my journey in the morning at around 6’O clock as I have to catch the bus of 8’O clock from the Kalyan.

Sagar and me caught the bus at 8’O clock from Kalyan (Bus name was Bhivandi – Kalyan – Shreevardhan) and the distance is 200 kms from Bombay.

As it reaches Shreevardhan our bus halts at many places like Dombovili, Panvel, Pen (Raigad district) and we move further till Mangaon by Mumbai – Goa highway. Once we cross Mangaon we took first right from Goregaon phata for Shreevardhan and Harihareshwar. Shreevardhan, which is 45 km from Mangaon(Goregaon phata) and Harihareshwar is around 32 KM from Mangaon(Goregaon phata).
As our bus moves further for Shreevardhan and Harihareshwar we get a zigzag road, which ends in Bhoste Tala. One get many road side restaurants on the way such as the Open Umbrella.

Once we reached Bhoste Tala we will get bifurcated ways; right way will go towards Shreevardhan, which is 03 kilometer from Bhoste Tala, and Harihareshwar is 16 kilometer from Bhoste Tala is to the left. After 10 to 15 minutes we reached the Shreevardhan bus station where we had our lunch in Hotel Sandhya. The hotel is at a distance of just 5 minutes from bus stand. After our lunch we caught a rickshaw for Harihareshwar from the bus station, which is near the Market place, the distance of Shreevardhan to Harihareshwar, is around 19 Km and takes around 40 to 50 minutes to reach Harihareshwar. In Harihareshwar we stayed at Siddhakala lodge, which is around 2 to 3 minutes on foot from beach as well as Harihareshwar Temple.

Harihareshwar is the place with an ancient Shiva Temple and Kalbhairav temple situated on the beach. One will get real peace of soul from temple, which is sandy as well as, rocky with beach so calm.

On day one we just explored the beach and temple along with it we also surveyed the Harihareshwar and MTDC resorts. Though the MTDC resorts are nice property for high end guest there are different types of accommodation are provided such as Deluxe, tent etc. and for lower budget people nothing to worry there are so many low budget accommodation like the Siddhakala lodge where we paid 450 rupees for one night stay with breakfast. Besides this there are many other lodges are over there. After the first day small tour we went to sleep early but made the programmes for the next day.

On the Second day we got up at 5’O clock and after completing our morning formalities we went to the beach directly. We were there for one hour and after 6:30 my friends and me directly went on the sandy beach where we enjoyed a lot. Specialty of the place is the pristine sand beach with calm green water surrounded with the mountains. Due of lack of time we decided to move out of the beach and make one round of Harihareshwar temple which takes around 15 to 20 minutes. The temple is situated in between the hill and the rocky beach and so while making the Parikarma one has to cross the hills and then the rocky beach. It is advisable to listen to the local people because of the high tides. Unfortunately we could not complete the Parikarma because of the high tide. We bought several things from inside the temple like the papad, sweet kokam and Amba Poli. Then we reached the lodge took our breakfast and got ready for our next destination that is the Shreevardhan. We left the place with heavy heart but at the same time sweet memories too.

We left Harihareshwar and moved toward Shreevardhan, which is 19Km. We got down at Shreevardhan rickshaw stand it is for six seater rickshaw known as tamtam also. After getting down at the Shreenagar rickshaw stand we caught the next rickshaw for Shreevardhan beach which is around 2 Kilometer from the rickshaw stand. The cost from the stand to the beach is around 20 rupees. Before reaching the beach we had a glimpse of 2 to 3 temples like Somjai temple, the Bhairavnath temple, and the Lakshminarayan temple.

Shreevardhan beach is also pristine like that of Harihareshwar with clean beach and crystal clear water. It also has the mountain along with the Casuarina and Coconut trees. After relishing the view for sometime we moved forward towards Dighe agar, which is about 16 km from the place and hence have to take an auto or tamtam.

[Important: Whoever is going to the Dive agar from Shreevardhan it is must to tell the driver to take Via Shekhadi village to enjoy the real beauty of the Kokan.]

It takes around 60 to 70 minutes to reach the place. One can have a pleasant experience while going from the Shekhadi Road leading to Diveagar. It is explicitly breathtaking with coastline along the roads, which is stretch entirely. Once you reach Diveagar you one can see a ganpati temple, which is famous for its golden Murti found in 1997 in between Supari and a coconut tree. After that we went to the beach of Diveagar small coastal village in Raigad District of Maharastra State. Those who want to travel with fewer budget this is a better option.

After enjoying the wonderful moments on the Diveagar beach we proceed to Borli, which is one and half km from Dive agar, to catch the tamtam for Dighi jetty, which is 15 to 16 KM from Borli. Before reaching the Dighi jetty we decided to catch the next ferry for Murud. But unfortunately we missed that ferry. Instead of waiting for the next ferry we too another ferry for Agardanda (ferry had taken 10 to 12 minutes from Dighi).

From there we caught tamtam for Murud. We got down at Murud and again caught another tamtam for Rajapuri village which is 6 Kilometer from Murud and from there we bought the ticket for Murud Janjira fort, which is 15 rupees per person.
[Important: If anybody wants to know history of Murud Janjira then one can pay 20 rupees as guide charge].

We did not take any guide, as we wanted to explore the place ourselves. The entire place of Murud Janjira is around 22 acre. But got only 45 minutes to explore and if anyone wants to stay for longer time has to take special permission from the ticket counter.

With this our trip got over and we came back to Bombay with the nice memories and experiences.

[Fare: From Murud to Bombay distance is 165 Kilometer and bus ticket is Rs125 from Murud to Thane. Bus Timing is 05:30 from Murud Bus stand.]
