Are most people (Ra)f(a)ir-weather friends?

Most of us are aware of the importance of being loyal to our friends and being together through thick and thin, but how many of us really embody these qualities?

Only a few, if one were to believe Guru Dutt. In fact, a song from his 1959 film Kaagaz Ke Phool (a box-office failure then, but a cult film now) went, “Dekhi Zamaane Ki Yaari”, which could be translated to, “I’ve seen people’s ‘friendships’. One by one, everybody has parted ways.”

Mohammed Rafi rendered the S D Burman composition, which was penned by Kaifi Azmi.
