All of us must have heard this saying,"A friend in need, is a friend indeed." The one who does not desert us during crisis is our true friend. Some people feel miserable because they don't have anyone with whom they can lament. Either they truly are lonely or they just don't have the vision to see who care for them and are standing with them.
Whereas, some humans groan when the person who had helped them earlier is not there with them right now. But what we do not realize is that different people lend us a shoulder to cry on, at different times. The same person may never stay with us forever. Heck, our own parents who take vows to protect us and stay with us, leave us to make their journey to the land of silence.
We are always in pursuit of people who would shed tears with us.

Well I say, look for people who would laugh with you, make you feel silly and stupid because they are the ones who would make you feel stronger. They are the ones who would give you a reality check when you're floating up in the air.

I once randomly approached a person and asked,"Will you shed tears with me?"
He replied,"Had I tears to shed, I would have given you company. But I most certainly have happiness in abundance, more than I can ever wish for. If you wish, I'll share with you the most luscious slice of it."
"So you're in pursuit of a company?" I asked.
"Everyone is." He replied.

So basically, the title of this (article, story or whatever you wish to call it) should have been "In pursuit of someone's company", but I liked the "Will you shed tears with me?" so much that the essence of this (whatever you wish to call it) has become an amalgamation of two entirely different yet complimenting ideas.
This is what irritates me the most- I am absolutely clear about what I want to write, but when I start writing, I wander away and the end result is what I said "an amalgamation". All of this leaves me unsatisfied because I feel that I am doing injustice to an idea.
