ageless friendship

this incident touched my heart and i thought friendship doesn't hold any boundaries or confined to one person,it reflects it's aura throughout the life and touches through it's magnetic values.
it happened that i was at the lilavati hospital waiting to see my physician and with me many other patients were waiting.you can say "patients were waiting patiently". i came across this elderly couple in their mid 80's holding each other hand and i suppose coming for the first time to this hospital as they were looking lost. nobody accompanied them and were waiting for their turn. suddenly a young male doctor came and passed by. but immediately he came back and stopped near the elderly couple and said "are you Mr. & Mrs. Bedekar? the couple got so surprised as it seems that they did not know anybody over there personally. they said "yes, we are but we don't recognize you.doctor said, " uncle, auntie i am your son Abhijeet's friend. how is Abhjeet? where is he now? after we finished schooling we lost touch. the elderly couple was so touched to hear that and said" Abhijeet settled in USA now.we live alone here in INDIA. the young doctor then enquired about their welfare and when he came to know that they are here for the routine checkups, he immediately guided them and even helped them to do the the needful for the checkups and also assured them of future help.
i was so moved to see all this and thought that friendship is not always between friends only.it transcends generation no matter friends are in touch or not.whether they are far or away,you can still show the real essence of friendship what this doctor friend showed towards the elderly couple.he does not have to wait for one friendship day to show his gratitude.
i really salute such friendships otherwise nowadays you don't come across true friends.
"this is the moral value of a friendship, where age is no bar"
bye!!
