Chanakya Neeti

Hey, I received a mail on Chanakya Neeti (the great indian politician, strategist and writer). As I was skimming through it, I stumbled on one that made me really think... is it true? i said to myself.

"There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no Friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth."
Chanakya quotes (Indian politician, strategist and writer, 350 BC-275 BC)


It made me go through the list of all my friends. I asked myself with each person, why I am his/her's friend, what will I gain from them, what is my self-interest? I concluded that NO, I disagree with the great Chanakya... NO... SORRY.. I have some friends because I love them, I'm ready to give, give, and give and expect nothing in return....
