International Friendship day is celebrated across the world on 30 July every year. Friends don’t miss to show their love, care and affection on this special day. Friends who are far celebrate it online and those who can meet, greet in person. International friendship day was recognised in year 2011 and is being celebrated thereafter.

Friendship bands are gifted to one friend from another. Apart from friendship bands anything can be given as gift to show you care. Friendship day bring back all the memories and good time spend with friends. School friends, college friends, the friends you make after college all are being remembered on this very day.

I don’t know is it necessary to celebrate friendship day or not. But it gives you opportunity to make your friend feel special and loved. Though we do interact with our friends the whole year, but friendship day gives a much needed kick to friendship and makes the bond more strong year after year.

I know this post is a little late, friendship day was in July and now August is going on. But I thought to write and post a blog on it. Real friends always stay by your side. Fake ones disappear after partying. Real friends don’t expect much, they just want to stay connected. Fake ones just party and go. Real friends check upon you. Fake ones are least bothered. How much you are invested in a friendship is more important than exchanging gifts.

Monetising friendship day is business strategy of big brands. The more days in a year will be celebrated, the more they will earn. Friends are light in darkness. The person who become your friend due to your status, looks, fame is a fake friend. When the heart and soul of a person is pure, her friendship never bother about how you look, how much money do you have, how popular you are on social media. She only sees your heart.

Pure are her intentions and pure is her heart. Blessed are the people who have these kind of friends in their life. If given a chance to change a bad habit of your friend, which habit of her will you choose to change? Do reply in comment section.

Hope you have had celebrated friendship day in your own special way with your friends. Do reply, how you make your friend feel special.
