Revealing secrets, constant asking, harshness, a fickle mind, anger, dishonesty and gambling — these are the flaws that spoil a friend.
What it means
Friendship rots from small habits: spilling secrets, always asking, losing your temper, being unreliable. Check yourself against this list before judging others; it is a good test of the friend you are.हिंदी में अर्थ
भेद खोलना, बार-बार माँगना, कठोरता, चंचल मन, क्रोध, झूठ और जुआ — ये मित्र के दोष हैं।
दोस्ती छोटी आदतों से बिगड़ती है: राज़ खोलना, हमेशा माँगना, ग़ुस्सा, अविश्वसनीयता। दूसरों को परखने से पहले ख़ुद को इस सूची से परखो।
Spoken by Narayana Pandit.
