The impact that our friends have on our career and personal life.
They say friends are the family we choose for ourselves. How true this rings! While we don’t get to pick our relatives, we selectively welcome friends into our lives. And once embraced, these friends leave lasting imprints on our hearts. Their presence shapes our destiny in ways both big and small. This blog is a tribute to all the friends who have become family over the years.
I would love to say, Friends are the "Harbors in Life's Storms".
True friends are our rocks - steadfast and supportive even as storms rage all around. They are the friendly shoulders we cry on when life gets tough. And the loudest cheerleaders celebrating our every achievement. Our friends believe in us even when we doubt ourselves. They pick us up when we stumble and dust us off when we fall. Their unwavering faith in our abilities emboldens us to reach for the stars. We find reservoirs of strength through their reassuring words - you can do this, I’ve got your back, don’t give up. Without this emotional buttress, we would feel adrift in a scary world.
When grappling with big decisions, our friends provide much-needed perspective. Their outside insights help dispel the fog of confusion. Brainstorming career conundrums and dissecting dilemmas make things clearer. Our friends enlighten our path so we can navigate crucial crossroads. Their wisdom and experience guide us towards making better choices. Friends open doors by connecting us to opportunities we’d have otherwise missed. Mentors who impart knowledge and sponsors who provide access - both invaluable to professional advancement.
In our personal lives too, friends shape our journey. They bear witness to the major milestones - graduations, weddings, childbirths. And create precious memories along the way. Friends know our quirks, flaws and deepest secrets. Yet accept us fully. Their non-judgment creates a safe space for us. In their reassuring company, we can completely be ourselves. The laughter and joy we share with friends makes life’s pressures more bearable. Time spent with friends rejuvenates our souls. We can let our hair down, kick off our shoes and relax. The stories and advice friends provide help us navigate life’s choppy waters.
As years pass, our friends become family. They are the beloved guests at our most special occasions. And the trusted caretakers of our children should anything happen to us. We turn to friends first in times of emotional need. Their empathetic ears and shoulders provide comfort better than any medicine. They know just what to say to puncture our bad moods and make us smile. The advice friends offer helps us see things from a different perspective. With their support, no pit is too dark to escape, no mountain is too high to scale.
In closing, I owe immense gratitude to all the friends who have become my family over the years. You have made me laugh when I was taking life too seriously. Caught me when I stumbled. Lifted me when I was down. And blazed a trail of light that guided me through life’s winding roads. You believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. Your friendship and unflinching support have shaped me into who I am today. For this, and for the million magical memories we’ve created together, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Here’s to many more adventures with my chosen family!
THANK YOU.

An electronics engineer in the making, I'm Gauthami Sirigudi, a final year ECE student at NIT Jalandhar, holding the roll number 20104101. I've been polishing my technical skills over late nights in the lab. But there's more to me than just circuits and code!
Books fill my heart with joy. Since childhood, I've found solace in fictional worlds that spark my imagination. I devour novels across genres, immersing myself in captivating stories. Reading expands my creativity.
Staying active recharges my batteries. I enthusiastically play team sports like basketball and soccer. Nothing beats the adrenaline rush and thrill of competition! Sports keep me grounded in the present moment.
I also love channeling my inner artist. Sketching expressive portraits and writing lyrical verses help me connect with my emotional core. Poetry is how I give wings to my dreams.
As I prepare to spread my wings into the future, I hope to blend my analytical and creative capacities. I aspire to build innovations that make the world more accessible. But for now, I'm focused on nourishing both hemispheres of my brain at NIT!
