While you can be crazy with your BFFs, they are also the ones who don’t always need verbal communication to understand you and that is why friends are the greatest gift of life.Sometimes, being with your best friend is all the therapy you need and to celebrate these friends who would always love you—the imperfect you, the confused you or the wrong you, Friendship Day is celebrated across the world with great pomp and show.
एक जैसे दोस्त सारे नहीं होते
कुछ हमारे होकर भी हमारे नहीं होते
आपसे दोस्ती करने के बाद महसूस हुआ
कौन कहता है तारे जमीन पर नहीं होते।
अच्छे दोस्त फूलों की तरह होते हैं
जिसे हम न तोड़ सकते हैं, न ही छोड़ सकते हैं।
यारों की यारी भी खिचड़ी से कम नहीं
स्वाद भले ही न रहे पर कमबख्त भूख मिटा देती है।
हैप्पी फ्रेंडशिप डे 2021!
International Friendship Day is celebrated annually on July 30. However, countries like India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, United Arab Emirates and United States mark Friendship Day on the first Sunday of August every year.
History –
In 1930, Friendship Day was first organised by the founder of Hallmark Cards, Joyce Hall. He intended this day to be celebrated on August 2; a day when people would come together and celebrate their camaraderie. However, people quickly realised that is was only a gimmick to sell greeting cards and the holiday died down in the United States. In most countries across Asia, Friendship day is still celebrated on August 2.
An International Friendship Day was first proposed on July 30, 1958 by the World Friendship Crusade, an international civil organisation that campaigns to foster peaceful culture through friendship. The idea of globally celebrating Friendship Day came to Dr Ramon Artemio Bracho on July 20, 1958. As he sat down to dinner with his friends in the town of Puerto Pinasco, Paraguay, the merry group of friends gave way to the World Friendship Crusade.
It was meant to be a foundation that would promote friendship and fellowship among humankind, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, or religion.
