Friends always play important role in our life; these may be your siblings, parents, relatives, childhood street friends, classmates, colleagues during service and after retirement. Friendship can have a major impact on your health and wellbeing, can encourage healthy behaviour, build your confidence and can help you to beat stress. Friends can help you celebrate good times and provide support during bad times. Friends prevent loneliness and give you a chance to offer needed companionship.
Childhood street friends:
Daily, I used to play with Debi (Gurdev Singh) and Gurnam in the street on the roof and at the bank of the village pond. We went to school together and after school, we went to graze the cattle and played there. Cattle grazing was great fun. We met many other friends from other villages (Mali Naegal, Badala, and Sarala) and we all played together. Gurdev Singh left school after 4th class and helped his father in farming. Gurnam Singh did Mechanical Engineering and got a job in Aeronautic at Kanpur.
