Happy Friendship Day

Rightly said, "friends are made by many acts and are lost often by a single mindless act". To have friends, you must have friendliness in you: selfless and loving, undemanding, with deep concern for others. Only then do you develop a sense of appreciation for this camaraderie. This is such a divine relationship. Truely consecrated. You unfold yourself, dare to be yourself and make yourself visible when a 'friend' is with you.You seek happiness, de-personalize and experience bliss in a friend’s presence. A friend is a mirror and you reflect every single bit of yourself in it! How can a mirror complain of the dancing things seen in it? This bondage crosses beyond caste, creed, gender, age, language and blah blah blah. What’s important is that string of connectivity no matter what the “string” portrays to you! You are in a true friend’s company when you speak just nothing but you have conveyed everything. Just being in their company can give solace and abundant joy. Such is the power. I personally believe that to foster and nurture any relationship, one has to be a “Friend” with the other person, be it between a parent and a child, a husband and a wife, a grandparent and a grandchild or between siblings.


On this day of “International friendship day” (which falls on the first Sunday of August every year), it’s time to recognize your friends and their contribution to your life. Friendship helps to bring peace and positivity to the globe - a great reason to celebrate! Without much ado, call all those old friends you haven't spoken to in ages…Tell them how much they mean to you. Remember the Girl Scout motto: "Make new friends and keep the old, one is silver and the other gold"!

And I seek this opportunity to profess that

You, Dear FRIEND,
have made a huge impact and difference in my life.
You are valued.
I am what I am because of you.
Thanks for being there!

Keep in touch!
Cheers!!
