"Agony Uncle'

Of late, i have been getting opportunities to be agony uncle to friends of mine.
its not that difficult to lend a patient ear to your friends problems. gives your Friend a lot of respite. they feel good as they get an opportunity to express, verbalize, share their problem with someone they think will listen to them, understand their situation and offer a solution. at times it gives them an independent third part view which they might have overlooked or might have thought was a biased solution. most importantly, it sh0ws that you are trustworthy and that your friend can confide in you. 

But at times i wonder how 'qualified' i am to play this 'role' to my beloved frieds. am i experienced enough... no, i don't think so...24 years of existence on this earth is nor sufficient for that. but so long as my friends feel relieved, i think its ok. i try my best only to give a different perspective to the problem and not a solution, for solutions to problems need to be found by oneself!!
