On friends (again):
I speak to people around me whose catorie of friends appear larger than mine. I chose three people to speak to, on first meet first speak basis.
Q: Make a list of twenty people whom you consider friends on orkut-like classification - good, very good and best friend.
People no. 1 - List of twenty include ten who are working at the same place that he does. Six are family and four are people whom he knew some time back, but has not been in contact for some time.
People no. 2 - List of twenty include hundred percent related to present working place - colleagues, subordinates, seniors.
People no. 3 - List of twenty includes twelve connected with work - customers mainly, three relatives and five old college mates but presently working in the same business.
I compare the list with my friend list - friends whom I meet or talk to so rarely, yet I do meet or talk to them. At least three are my childhood friends from Ribandar, at least two are my classmates from Ponda, at least two are my college mates from Panaji, one whom I had met when I was posted at Bondla, at least one who is more friend than a relative, ...
If the three people surveyed above changed their jobs, their friends circle would change as well. So I feel richer.
