Our Friendship is growing...

====================Email received from my friend on June 17, 2008=======
Dear Anil

I am impressed the way you make me realise that I am not sparing time for the person I like the most. No I am not that busy, trust me I am spending time for other things as well. Yes, it is true that in the office I am not getting time to write mail and after coming back from office, it is lazyness only.

We have many unfinished agenda and we must spend time on this. You had a plan for visiting India and I was keeping lot of things to talk to you including expansion plan of Berkowits, which I have not been able to write and mail to you. Let us work out some thing. I need to understand in detail what exactly do you mean by "a it difficult time".

In the meantime, enjoy the beatiful thought of the day in the attachment

love you
Anil

Anil,

You are my best friend Anil, my words rather than to make them impressive sounding; to you are a learning process of expressing me to my friend in the ever-changing 'timing that we are both going through'. I think perhaps our friendship is making you feel impressed – you are just being too generous towards me. I will never try to impress you – it is not necessary Anil. There is a question I read in which the author asks, "Did you ever see an unhappy horse? Did you ever see bird that had the blues?" One reason why birds and horses are not unhappy is because they are not trying to impress other birds and horses.

I'm very proud of our friendship and what we've achieved ... but you are right there is, however, a large unfinished agenda. I know you were to send me mail with details long ago which you have not been able to – but I know you have some plans and good intentions – only you were not able to write the plan and email the same to me due to your pressure for time in the office. No worries – I'm sure the right time will make you find time for this unfinished work soon enough. You will do good deeds from your good intentions because I know that you know well that good intentions only; are not good enough.

…definitely we both together will work something out – God willing…

Now your query about why I wrote "a bit difficult time"….you know Anil, it is easier to be a lover than a husband for the simple reason that it is more difficult to be witty every day than to say pretty things from time to time. Life at any time can become difficult: life at any time can become easy. It all depends upon how one adjusts oneself to life. What is happening at time is that a lot of losses are being incurred by me and being Canadian and north American economy going into recession – things are feeling difficult. Perhaps I am finding it difficult to 'adjust to my time'.

I'm still having plans to visit India – perhaps towards September this year and would encourage you to find a little bit of your time to finish the unfinished and throw it towards me using this 'technology called emailing'. By doing this we would achieve more than one goal; a) we will know if or not it is for us b) upon meeting we would have clear idea as to what are we have decided and talking about and c) because everything including (thinking, after thinking, decision-making, asking, telling, and reasoning) has been thrashed – so we can get to business "right away".

And by the way – thank you for your wonderful "Learn to Live" presentation – its truly amazing work. Our lives been quite a roller coaster rides – so I think it's about time we should "Learn to Live" – correctly.

....oops...without me noticing my email has grown just as my love for you...

Love you too,
Anil
