Reinstalling an overheating laptop at a friend’s place, kept shutting down before it was done. No tools available. Found the solution in the closet.

Friendships In Ancient India Through Subhashits

आतुरे व्यसने प्राप्ते दुर्भिक्षे शत्रु संकटे।

राजद्वारे श्वशाने च यस्तिष्ठति स वान्धवः।।

The real friend is the one who stays in the court and in the crematorium when he is sick, in trouble, in famine, when he is endangered by the enemy.

विवादो धनसम्बन्धो याचनं चातिभाषणम्।

आदानामग्रतः स्थानं मैत्रीभङ्गस्य हेतवः।।

Quarrels, financial relations, taking loans, incessant chatting and desire for unwanted competitions are the reasons for destroyed friendships.

आढ् यतो वापि दरिद्रो वा दुःखित सुखितोऽपिवा ।

निर्दोषश्च सदोषश्च व्यस्यः परमा गतिः ॥

Rich or poor, grieving or joyful, innocent or bastard; A friend is the biggest supporter of the man.

चन्दनं शीतलं लोके ,चन्दनादपि चन्द्रमाः |

चन्द्रचन्दनयोर्मध्ये शीतला साधुसंगतिः ||

Chandan (sandalwood) has the most cooling properties in this world; The moon, however, is more cooler than chandan. In actuality, it is the company of good friends that is the most soothing.

महाजनस्य संसर्गः कस्य नोन्नतिकारकः।

पद्मपत्रस्थितं वारि धत्ते मुक्ताफलश्रियम्॥

Just like a drop of water that falls on a lotus gains the status of a pearl, company of good friends elevates the value of a person.

आपत्काले तु संप्राप्ते यन्मित्रं मित्रमेव तत् |

वृद्धिकाले तु संप्राप्ते दुर्जनोSपि सुहृद्भवेत् ||

A friend in need is a friend indeed. Even an evil person can befriend anyone during prosperous times but it takes a real friend to honor the friendship during difficult times.

सर्वथा सुकरं मित्रं दुष्करं परिपालनम् l

अनित्यत्वात्तु चित्तानां मतिरल्पेऽपि भिद्यते ll

It's pretty easy to earn friendships but difficult to keep them. The human mind is transient and even some petty conflicts can be the reason to end the friendships.

न सुहृद्यो विपन्नार्था दिनमभ्युपपद्यते।

स बन्धुर्योअपनीतेषु सहाय्यायोपकल्पते॥

A good friend helps a friend in fatality and brings back the friend on the right path (if he has strayed away from the path of goodness).

गुणवान् व परजनः स्वजनो निर्गुणोऽपि वा।

निर्गुणः स्वजनः श्रेयान् यः परः पर एव सः॥

A loved one without merit is better than a stranger with merits.
