Friendship is one of the greatest blessings that not everyone is lucky enough to have. We meet a lot of people in the journey of life however there are only a few who stay with us throughout our life. My best friend is one such person who has been able to make a positive impact on my life. I and my best friend have been a part of each other’s lives for the longest time and our friendship is still developing. Most importantly, I feel extremely fortunate to have someone as a best friend in my life. His name is Dhrumil Shah. I will be discussing how we became friends and his best qualities.
I want to start my friendship essay with a story about how we became friends. I and my best friend came in as a new admission to the same college. Both of us belonged to the same caste so we had seen each other before. However, we were not able to recollect where. We both were hesitant to talk to each other at first, but gradually we developed a bond. I can recall the first time my best friend tried to talk to me; I rolled my eyes because I thought there was no use and we wouldn’t hit it off. However, we became best friends by the end of the session year surprisingly. We learned so many things related to each other and found out that our taste in music was so similar. Since then, there was no stopping us. We spent most of our time together. We used to help each other out with our studies and visited each other’s homes as well. For instance, as our interests were similar and we both were planning for pursuing a Master, we decided to do it together and luckily we both got admitted into the same university. To date, we are lucky enough to be together and at the same time pursue our careers as well.
Apart from being good at studies, we both take a keen interest in extracurricular activities as well. For that, we always take an active part in various events at school like debates, tabloids, sports events, speech contests, and others. Dhrumil has a keen interest in football. Due to his skills and command, our college team has won the Annual inter-college tournament twice. In extracurricular activities, I love playing cricket. I am a fast bowler. We are both addicted to watching series like Breaking Bad, Peaky Blinders, etc. So, we even spent nights watching series and movies. Through this bond, I learned that family does not end with blood because my best friend was no less than my family.
I feel one of the main reasons why I formed such a bond with my best friend was because of the qualities he possesses. His courage always inspired me to raise my voice against injustice as he always stood up to her bullies. He is also one of the smartest minds in class who doesn’t only excel academically but also in life. I have never seen a dancer as good as my best friend. Above all, I feel the quality that appeals to me the most is his compassion. Whether it is towards humans or animals, he always keeps the same approach. For instance, he saw a poor old woman on the streets one day and he only had money for his lunch. Dhrumil did not hesitate once before giving all of it to the poor lady.
In short, the bond I share with my best friend is one of my most prized possessions. Both of us inspire each other to become better humans. We push each other to do our best and we are always there in need. A best friend is indeed a precious gem and I am fortunate to have found that gem of my life at an early age.
