Friendship beyond border

Sneha Biswas, A LinkedIn user, shared a heartwarming story of true friendship and how it transcends the borders of 2 nations. Sneha narrated the unique tale of how she came across her now closest friend from Pakistan during her first day at Harvard Business School and how it helped her to change her outlook towards stuff. Sneha also talks about how they bonded over “multiple biryanis, chais, financial models & case study preps.”

Sneha wrote that while pride for the individual counties stands firm, your love for somebody transcends boundaries and geographies. Fundamentally, people are similar everywhere. Humans build borders and boundaries. While it might sometimes make sense to the head, the heart often fails to understand them, as stated by Sneha.
