You cannot hang out with negative people and expect to live a positive life. You can't keep a clean reputation hanging out with messy people. You cannot change the people around you but you can change the people that you chose to be around with.

Hence chose your friends wisely. Keeping good will keep you from going astray. Bad Company corrupts good character.

As much as people refuse to believe it, the company you keep does have an impact and influence on your choices. The people whom you allow into your life can build you up and create a positive influence on your life or they can be toxic and create a negative influence on your life. Thus bad association spoils useful habits.

You friends are the reflection of who you are. Surround yourself only those people who lift you higher. The sayings ...Do not imitate others. Be yourself. Allow the people whom you admire to inspire you. It is far better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation. In everything truth surpasses the imitation and copy. The worst acting is about imitation...holds true.

It is always better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not. You don't need to change your personality .Just be yourself. It takes lot of courage to grow up and turn out to be who you really are. By copying someone you lose yourself and your unique personality, thereby you lose your individuality.

Bua's guidance to kamini has led to lead a wrong path. In spite of being aware of Viplav's marital status she wishes to go ahead to lure him...she pretty well knows that his love for dhani is immense and she dares to commit the sin to separate viplav and dhani.

Bua's company has influenced her a lot and her ability to distinguish the right and wrong has vanished...on the other hand we have dhani who always thinks of keeping the relationships intact while kamini is hell bent on breaking up viplav's marriage the reason being the guidance they got in their life, the path they chose to lead...it's the teachings of dulari and sati bua respectively.

Kamini puts up an act of being good to earn people's faith in her...her personality is totally lost when she started to go astray...she is simply an imitation of bua's words...she wants to impress her in the process she lost her goodness in her...her originality is lost.

She wants to take dhani's position in viplav's life in the end she will end up losing the respect she gained from viplav.

Bua's toxic thoughts did have an influence on kamini to a great extent and kamini did develop bad habits. Sometimes when we allow a bad company in our lives it very difficult to get rid of it, you will be simply stuck up with it.

Be it kamini being influenced by bua or kanak or tripurari being influenced by DT the end result is the same...their negative thoughts of the former did have an impact on the latter ones.

The choice is simply left to us who we wish to surround our self with...just for the sake of impressing people one need not stuck oneself with some people...where there is no growth in our character what purpose does the company serve.

Do share your views.😊

Well said Swathi.

It is a personal choice to choose options that life presents you . Ka mini could learn a thing or two from Dhani and Viplav instead she is lured by bua to take a wrong path . The toad to hell has twinkly shiny lights but why does one forget the destination .

Bua like DT think they control destiny and the only way to get ahead is by trampling people on the way . Maybe that is the way they came ahead . Trying to ruin your own grandsons life and presuming what makes him happy is another level of delusion .

Road to heaven maybe long and tedious and worth the journey .

Viplav and Dhani recognize the goodness in each other and therefore remain strong . Unfortunetly they think everyone around them is the same . That is a folly for which they will have to pay.

Intelligent post I must say!
You are known by the company you keep. Dadi Bua and Kamini go back a long way and the way that Dadi bua's character is portrayed clearly shows that she is destructive. Though Kamini may have had compunctions in breaking up VIdha now with Dai bua's instigation she will abandon all her good sense and follow the wrong path. After all evil is so much more attractive than goodness. So also false friends lead us astray for their own benefit. Dadi bua is using Kamini to get back at DT and get her own way. She has no conscience and is teaching Kamini not to have one as well. Thus as you rightly say one must be careful in choosing their friends .

Pearl, a truly thoughtful post.
All our lives , we are surrounded by a variety of people who can & will influence us to some extent or the other.
As we grow up & mature, we learn to judge better, listen to the right & distance the wrong.
What & who matters to you constantly changes at different stages of ur life.
So it is extremely important to try & find the right person/s , be it a friend or a family member
to guide you in the right direction.

Here it is a clear case of DBs bad influence over Kamini to woo Viplav & thus separate ViDha, though initially it seemed like Kam was not thinking along those lines.

[But one thing is not clear to me yet---- what is the reln.ship betn. DB & Kam?...Did I miss something ?]
So with DBs constant nudging, Kam is swayed to win Vip over.
Sadly Kam does not realize she is just a pawn for DBs personal battles.

We already know DT's bad influence over many people.

On the other hand we have seen how Vip was influenced in a positive way by Dhani , who helped him change into a much better & gentler individual.

As your title aptly says " you are the people you surround ur self with" &
Oh! just loved this sentence " far better to fail in originality than succeed in imitation".😊

Thanks again for another thoughtful post

Hello Ratna 😊...thank you for reading and sharing your view...True agree with you there is no short cut to any achievement/ success...DT never thought of asking what would bring him happiness...he just assumed dhani wasn't right for him...as far as vidha are concerned yes they do think people around them are good ...little do they know how wrong they are and hopefully they learn their lessons well...none in AN learn anything from viplav and dhani ...they simply want to either control or possess...till then take care.

Hello Magnolia 😊...thank you for reading and sharing your view...True bua has installed all toxic ideas in kamini's mind...now her conscience is slowly shedding away as you said, and there by she has no fear to sin against innocent people. Yes the likes of bua and DT go to any extent to benefit themselves at the cost of others...till then take care.

Hello Mishfan 😊...thank you for reading and sharing your view...Agree with you totally...we are influenced by people, now it is up to us whose guidance we look out for...and yes our experiences do help us select the right people...just like in case of viplav and dhani.

People like DT and bua are known only for their selfish needs who don't look beyond that at all...whether they make some body their pawn or not doesn't matter to them...may be kamini is indebted to bua, like she was given education and all by bua... she was brought up by bua this is simply my guess. Anyways something seems fishy as you pointed..lets wait and watch..till then take care.

hi swathi.. phew got to your thought finally... loved the focus on choice of friends.. they say ..a man is known by the company he/she keeps.. So the focus then falls on the person , than the friends.. pity as a person has his or her own inherent personality.. but it is accepted that one is influenced by key people in life , immediate family , teachers,and peers.. an adult.. has the informed choice of who to be influenced by? and who not to. Iagree.. bau an elderly woman from whom sound instruction is expected for the young and upcoming... is into manipulating kamini.. bua has her own agenda..kamini I feel she has primed up to be young DIL of PN... I dont see any friendship or bonding between viplav and kamini... he hardly knows her.. memories.. well our family friends, aquaintances have loads of them about us... except that this kamini has suddenly been dropped into AN... viplav will hopefully clock on..is she friend or foe? .. good suming of post swathi ultimate choice is ours about who we befriend..? its who has affinity with us.. friends can be a boon too and a curse... thanks matwaiting for next thought..love hammie
