The International Friendship Day is celebrated globally on July 30 but in India, it is celebrated on the first Sunday of August or August 1. It is a day dedicated to celebrating a relationship between two friends. While a certain section of people wait for this day to come, it can be safe to say that Friendship Day is celebrated 365 days a year.

Friendship is not bound by blood but by love and affection that transcends everything. Friendship keeps one going no matter how old or young we are. Constantly around and available, they serve as an emotional facilitator when one goes through a tough time.

What makes the bond precious is that no matter the circumstances, one can always depend on a friend and be assured that they will always be there as a support system.

While some tie wrist bands, showcasing their love, others exchange gifts to celebrate and mark the day. Pictures, videos, reels on social media can also be expected.

This year, as we still fight the raging COVID-19 pandemic, reach out to your friends and remind them how much you love them with these wonderful wishes and quotes.

-Wishing you a happy friendship day, my dear friend. May God strengthen our bond and fill our lives with happy memories.
