If my parents have shaped me to what I am today, my friends have also
influenced me. I have been very fortunate
to have a good set of friends who have always had a positive influence
on me. As I have lived in too many places
and traveled extensively, I have a wide array of friends and I have
managed to stay in touch with all of them!! I
have friends from my preschool days. They are not only my friends
but also a family friend to my parents. They visit
my parents even when I am not there. Likewise, I have visited
my friends' parents and siblings too.
We have a huge group on our email network and we exchange e-mails almost
on a daily basis. We swap stories of the days, tips on careers, new
recipes, authors, and whatever is initiated by one of my friends.
W exchange pictures, e-greetings, and send gifts via the Internet.
Some of us have forgotten what the snail mail looks like. As all
my friends are on the Internet
and everyone is into e-mailing and keeping in touch, no one can accuse
me of being mushy! Cos', they are as much to blame
as me.
