1. Read the passage carefully.
12 Mark
1. Many of us may sport colourful bands on our wrists on 'World Friendship Day', in a rite
of 'global rakhi'. Whether we do or we don't, the gods offer much material if we want to
review the notion of friendship on the occasion. Shiva, for one, is known as 'Asutosh
meaning "easily pleased', an endearing trait that sometimes leads to trouble, though i
his case it's a leela - just another game for the gods, even when Shiva grants boons to
ambitious asuras. In such cases, Vishnu has to rush in to save the situation, although Shiva
is also known to selflessly take his turn. He did this most spectacularly during the Samudra
Manthan-churning of the ocean-by swallowing the world-destroying Kalakuta poison
setting an incredible example of selfless world, love and friendship,
2. Like Shiva, mere mortals on the earth may choose to figuratively swallow poison in the
form of unkind words or bad behaviour for the sake of a larger cause. It is not 'weakness
but amity and goodwill on their part, and it's their call to stop being merciful when it
gets
too much. The cause could be team peace in a project or family peace with a sibling or with
in-laws who seem more like outlaws.
3. Krishna set an example, too, by giving Sishupala a hundred chances before he put a stop to
his bad behaviour. We mortals may not be able to adopt Krishna's methods but perhaps we
could consider giving annoying people at least ten chances before we mentally disengage
with them, in real life or on social media,
4. Vishnu, as the Preserver, displays 'merciful friendship' in other ways, too, that have never
ceased to charm us. The epic examples of Gajendra, Dhruva, Prahlad, Draupadi and Arjuna
are well-known However it is Vishnu​
