When I was in primary school, I would often run to dad or my sister or my mother with allbsorts of problems - someone bullied me, I felt ill, or if I wanted to understand something. They helped as much as they could. As I started getting older, I learnt to deal with academic problems all by myself, perhaps because nobody in my family could help me with vector calculus or triple integration or complier design. I became more independent, but at the same time I guess this same independence dragged its evil twin along: self-imposed isolation. But every day I realize that it is okay to speak to your friends about your problems. As important it is to share jokes and treats and coffee and burgers, sometimes it is equally important to unburden yourself, too. Those of you who consider yourself the young and the restless, do talk to people who are older than you, too. Maybe they might be shocked and scandalized at your points of view and actions. However, on and off you might find friends - maybe online, maybe offline - who are a solid pillar of emotional support, even if they come across as your polar opposite intellectually. If and when you find such friends, across borders and age and gender and religion and - gasp! - political leaning, cherish them. Dont let these intellectual barriers ruin a good friendship. These friends cheer you up and support you like nothing and nobody else. Good morning everyone :) #Morning_Gyaan
