Together we can and we will

We may be separated by distance but will never be apart from each other ever

“WE two boys together clinging,
One the other never leaving,
Up and down the roads going, North and South excursions making,
Power enjoying, elbows stretching, fingers clutching,
Arm'd and fearless, eating, drinking, sleeping, loving.
No law less than ourselves owning, sailing, soldiering, thieving,
threatening,
Misers, menials, priests alarming, air breathing, water drinking, on
the turf or the sea-beach dancing,
Cities wrenching, ease scorning, statutes mocking, feebleness
chasing,
Fulfilling our foray.” 
― Walt Whitman

No quote evokes a stronger sense of strength in me than what Walt Whitman has said here.

For me and my best friend share more than a sense of camaraderie but a deep bond.

That of knowing what the other wants, needs irrespective of whether we are voicing it or not.

We may be far away from each other today, but every single time that we meet, talk or communicate, its not the words that we say or the gestures but the connection we share that assures us that all is going to be well in this world.

Soul mates is not a hypothetical phrase but a strong reality in our case.

If every day is a new journey in life and we embark on this journey many times together, but also often in separate ways, we know as surely as the sun must set that we will meet again at the end of that journey.

And that will give us strength to be able to carry on a journey by ourselves the next day.

We have seen many difficulties in life. Not about the difficulties one faces in life but that of being away from each other.

For we have been separated for years due to study and travel and marriage and kids and work and jobs and all that can come in between us.
At times ego, other priorities, other friends, deadlines, different interests etc

But every time we meet, its beyond magic. A sense of calmness overcomes us. It reduces a storm in our minds into nothing but a gentle cool breeze blowing across the fields.

I don't know if there is a karmic connection but there certainly is a feeling of gratitude towards God for giving us the best gift life could give us.

For this connection is not about friendship but of elevation, about transcending over worldly worries into an emotion that knows knows calmness, peace of mind and a feeling - that we will experience bliss, satisfaction and joy by being together.

Much the same as what one experiences with http://housing.com/ a sense of companionship, a feeling that your in safe hands and that any decision that you need to make in terms of where to live or how to find a house is best made with them.

Being Together

The Social connector - how socializing is the key to survival

Today while I was driving to work - I heard on the Radio that Feeling alone / being lonely was becoming a serious medical concern and that it was as dangerous as Obesity.

Increasingly people were being alienated and hence a feeling of disconnect was setting in.

This is also possibly 1 of the causes of depression that is increasingly being seen amongst people.

While people are increasingly connected in the digital world, perhaps not enough time and effort is going into keeping the human touch.

While social media is a great tool to connect with people, especially for the ones who want to stay protected, those who are shy or vary of human contact for fear of being hurt, upset etc., it is not a good sign to completely alienate one self.

What we all need is that 1 groups of friends, who you can count on to always be there for you.

It does need to be a large group, even 2 to 3 friends will do, but what they help is to keep the human touch and connect going.

You may argue, saying who does not have friends these days but the point is 1 should not confuse friends with work mates, associates, roommates, acquaintances etc.

In that sense I am glad to have various groups of friends, who I can call upon in need and who call upon me in their moments of need.

These groups have my childhood friends and we have stood by each other through out what life has thrown at us, couple groups who have a common interest and we bond over that commonality (if you can't figure that out, message me and I shall explain), sports friends (this one is easy to figure out), ex work / education buddies from different companies / colleges, random other friends.
And finally my twitter friends group. Yes I have a group of people who I have met via twitter and we share great camaraderie, stay connected and meet from time to time too.

Not to forget the various family / cousins and relatives groups we all hold dear as I do have loving family members.

The beauty is that at any time any of us can connect with each other which always leaves us with uplifted spirits and provides a new hope that tomorrow will be brighter and better.

No matter where the trouble in life, whether it's at home, work or with some of my friends, being a united group helps us tide over those issues and come out feeling stronger and more confident of ourselves.

It's not about any 1 instance, but each and every moment spent with these various sets of friends, helps you realize that there is so much more to life than worry and concern and that with support and being #together we can conquer any challenge that life can throw at us.

It's the same kind of support and togetherness that you can get from https://housing.com/ when you looking a new home. Truly a website with a big difference.
