on this day, what does it mean ..

In those early years in New Delhi when I was a stranger in this big city, it was the friendship and later companionship which I was offered in the acquaintance of whom that is the most important thing in my life.

On even the worst days, when nothing works anywhere, I know that at home I would find warmth, peace, companionship, and encouragement. As a consequence, the next day would surely be better. The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may be one's appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship.

Now what it companionship means to me: a happy life, of course, companionship, of course. A common objective, I think and we are working everyday, together, to look at each other when we grow old and smile together on memories of yesteryears spent together.
