Befriending the Ad World 4th August Friendship Da

Sharing secrets, hiding mistakes Playing pranks, dancing in rains All it speaks is a bond so strong, Known as FRIENDSHIP and lasts long.

Can you imagine your life without the person, with whom you share your outbursting emotions every day or a person who is always ready to lend his shoulder along with his PJ’s to cheer you up again? Of course not. We all need a friend to rely upon, to believe on, to share the grief and to get mental relief. But maintaining this relation during the life’s ups and downs is this simple? No. Because, in life where it is difficult to find time to talk to oneself, it is almost impossible to steal the moments out of the busy schedule to talk to our dear ones.

Friendship Day obviously is a granted opportunity to go back to the golden days when we dreamt of being with our childhood friends for the whole life and endows us with an easy path to celebrate that togetherness, to respect the differences and revise our life’s preferences.

But should this celebration be bounded to 24 hours? No, the frolic should go on. Each moment of life spent with friends should be made enjoyable enough to be treasured in the lasting frames of our hearts.
