What Does Friendship Day Mean To You?

By Suma Nagaraj – August 1st, 2010

My colleague Tenzin wrote about the various “days” that have taken over our lives sometime ago. Of all the days we “celebrate”, one of my favourites has always been Friendship Day.

Of course, I’ve never exchanged a Friendship Day band. Shudder. I came close to being given one sometime in my teens, but I refused to take it, saying I didn’t have one to give in return. But I’ve exchanged cards, gifts, and spent most of the first Sundays of August with my friends, at least ever since the fad took over

What would life be without friends, huh?

So today, instead of writing about what Friendship Day means to me, I’m asking you what it means to you.

Write in to us and tell us what friends and Friendship Day means to you, and we’ll feature some of your thoughts on FTP.

And oh – Happy Friendship Day from our team to ALL you guys!

Happy friedshipday mustu…………………..
You are my best friend and you so nice
Jaan hai mujhko zindagi se pyaari,
Jaan ke liye kar doon kurbaan yaari,
Jaan ke liye todd doon dosti tumhaari,
Ab tumse kya chhupaana,
Tum hi toh ho jaan hamaari !

Friends & Friendship creates a world
where u can be urself.
where u can make fun.
Where u can crack jokes.
Where u can root.
Where u can hangout and comment.
where u can dream & share.
a wonderful world.

Friends are the one who comes in when the Whole World goes out….
When things went upside down,
When my bad times began,
When my tears rolled down,
When I was unable 2 see the new dawn,
There stood these helping HANDS….
Whom I call Them FRIENDS……
I thank the one who helped me 2 be what I am today….
I smile and the reason behind it is U all……………….Thank U Friends…..

Friendship Band or Friendship Day or Week have nothing to do with my life… I just dream abt her to be the one that I call n say wishing Long Drive n she replies come on yar… I m waiting 4 ya …. Unconditional company where both feel freee to talk to dance to drive to share to care to love to fight…evrything so open

Friendship is to make life meaningful. Without friend, life is boring and dull. Sometimes friends don’t have time to meet nowadays in the busy schedule of life but yet they meet to each other when they miss because the friendship is one axis of life to make happy and meaningful to live at all. Happy friend ship day to all of my friends as also for others
Shadaab………
