make friends and use them

some interesting taxonomy of friends are:-

  • temporary :- these friends come into life and go like a 15 seconds ad on prime time show.
  • casual :- these are only show up occasionally, just like frogs in rainy season.
  • parasite :- these kind of friends can't even fill a simple form without you.
  • possessive :- you always think of 15th Aug ( or Independence day of your respective country), when they are around you.
  • for-profit :- these are like MNCs, they will behave as a friend only if they can get something of value out of you. don't expect anything from them.
well, only 5 types for the time being. if we do more categorization there will be more than 100 kind of them. and yes, all of the above are in fact not friends...just following the cliche "make friends and use them".
