Blog III of Thirty Days – Thirty Blogs series
This is the thought that has been bubbling in my mind for some time now. Having recently shifted my base with no close friends around, for past few weeks, I have been busy trying to find new friends. The fact that I am an introvert, shy and look like a very-serious guy is not helping me at all in my efforts.
This is not the first time though that I am going through such a phase. In the past also, when I newly joined NSIT, STM or TAMU I had to go through similar phases. I have come to look forward to them because after every phase come some new friends. The beauty of this life (and I would talk about this in next blog) is that you keep meeting some very interesting people and forge relations with them that hopefully shall last for your complete life. Every time when one thinks that perhaps his/her friends list is full, one comes across another gem of a person. Right now, it is my time to be patient and look out for friends.
My list of attempts for finding friends include forcing myself to not eat in my cubicle, go out and socialise, giving smiling faces to passersby (probability increasing exponentially with decreasing distance from home/office) and using some existing friends. Trying to balance existing distance relations and forging new ones is never an easy job. Hope I succeed in it again !
PS: If you live in surrounding areas and are looking for a nerdy friend to help you fix your PC and network problems (cannot think of any other VP for myself), please contact me.
