@Samir: trusting attorneys is a tricky one.. so be careful. Any relationship where direct money exchange is involved, can be a bit challenging.. oh, you forgot to include ‘impossible to get rid of friends’ who we might call ‘friends’ just because we want to be polite..;)

@Tim: haha those mechanics! I almost forgot about those, every time I’ve had to take my car in for some minor repair, they surprise me with the bill. Insurance agents of course.. but I haven’t had a bad experience with them yet (crossing fingers) :)

Hair Dresser, Maid, Mother-In-Law: Don’t have those, so can’t comment.

Attorney: Don’t have one either but recognize the need for one and I should hope I would be able to trust them to a large extent. If not the position would be quite futile.

Doctor: I trust Doctors only to some extent. My reservations are for the very reasons, and due to the same kind of experiences you have said triggered this post. My reservations with doctors generally is that while being (hopefully) encyclopaedic, they are rarely creative. The human body almost never acts like the simplified machine they would like us to think it is, and most of them aren’t equiped to deal with the non-textbook cases or looking behind the surface symptoms. The best doctors, on the other hand, can be some of the most creative people there are.

Pharmacist: I currently live in Dubai. In Dubai, no. Back in Bombay. Yes, absolutely … for an educated viewpoint on medicines anyway. The pharmacists back in Bombay are quite remarkable when it comes to their knowledge of what they sell (most of them). In many of the older neighbourhoods in the city, the local pharmacist takes on a role that is part medicine man, part general advisor, and part good listener. It’s quite an interesting phenomenon to observe actually. :)

Friend: Aah! “friend”. A term that has come to encompass all manner of sins. ;) Seriously though, each and every one of us has all sorts of friends. Good friends, best friends, long lost friends, hard to stand friends, impossible to get hold of friends, vague aquaintences whom you politely call friends … the variety is endless, so I guess the possible answers are endless.

Thanks for provoking some interesting thoughts and half forgotten memories.

Does that make sense?

But if I had to choose, I’d say one of my blogging friends. :P

@Jesse: that observation about females unfortunately is very true.. see here: You are invited.. BUT there are always exceptions – I’ve some excellent females as my friends – online and offline :)

Oh, by the way, why wasn’t wife or husband included as an option. If it was I would have put that first.

@John: Ah, those ears! Nothing special really – I came in contact with most of these people in just one week and it got interesting at one point.. so asked ;)

@Steven: I’ve had nothing but the best experience having great friends. So yes, they top the list anytime

I’m curious, why the question? ;)

What are those special ears listening for?

e.g: Do you ever have doubts if your doctor prescribed you the correct medicine or he is out to push the new drugs that he received for free from a drug company he is in contract with… OR in the maid’s case, do you feel comfortable leaving the house keys with her/him while you are at work or on vacation? (or leaving the keys with your MIL in some cases ;))
