Today is my friend’s birthday. I place a high value on friendship. Nowadays, many people confuse friendship with love or love with friendship. Some even refer to kids as their friends. In fact, they are confused between “friendly” and “friendship.” I am a very insignificant person. Why should you pay attention to me? Let’s discuss a few of Rabindranath’s well-known sayings. There is a distinction between friendship and love, yet it is difficult to fathom the difference, according to Rabindranath Tagore. Love is like a nice outfit, whereas friendship is like casual attire. In friendship, it is OK to wear ripped or soiled clothing that does not cover the knees, as long as it is not destroyed. When you’re comfortable wearing them, it works just great. But the attire of love will not be soiled or tattered; instead, it should be nice and tidy. Love cannot withstand ups and downs, but friendship can.
There is nothing to hide in friendship. because the risks are tolerated by the friendship. In our lives, there are two fundamental relationships: Family is one, and friends are the other. Choosing which is more significant is challenging. The intriguing part is that not everyone experiences this challenging situation, though. In reality, most people’s lives don’t involve it. In certain lives, that might occur. because there are so few true friends. Well, is this funny at all? It’s a terrible fact that you don’t have anyone to call a friend!
But this sad incident did not occur in my life. As I said at the beginning, today is my friend’s birthday!
Today is my friend Moinul’s birthday. Moinul Islam.
Once more, I’ll quote Rabindranath: “It is necessary for us that our friend should be a mortal one with faults and virtues like us.” “We seek love, compassion, and assistance from a friend, and that is why we need a friend.”
Yes, with rights and wrongs, Moinul is also a human like me. He doesn’t pretend to be an angel. He is what he is. Like me.
Therefore, he is my closest ally.
I repeated the same story repeatedly at Moinul’s birthday. I would not have met him if February 20 hadn’t arrived. Moinul Bhai was brought to us on this very day. I’m appreciative of this day.
Yet Moinul Islam is a tough businessman. At this age, Moinul has achieved great success as a strong businessman. Such folks also don’t frequently make friends. Alternatively, you may say that these people aren’t the best pals. Though Moinul is a genuine friend,
Individuals in this position typically form professional connections. because the main ingredient in friendship is emotion. It is difficult to imagine a stern businessman turning into a really sensitive person, talking to his friends, and feeling overwhelmed.
Friendship has no religious stipulations. There is no racism. I and Moinul are not artistic. Despite the fact that we are not extremely talented, there is appeal. We became friends as a result of that infatuation. Today is my friend’s birthday. Today is my friend Moinul’s birthday. I am very happy today.
From me and my entire family, happy birthday, Moinul. Happy birthday, friend!
