Friendship day
Friendship day. A day when people randomly wish one another and tie what is called a friendship band. Until today, I have never been able to understand why people celebrate such a day. What is the purpose of friendship's day? When I was young, I used to see people (especially girls) having lot of friendhip bands tied to the hands right from the wrist to the elbow and were really proud of it. I used to wonder if it never caused any itching sensation or make one's hand numb.
Some one, a few years back told me that you tie a friendship band so that your friendship lasts longer. What the hell man! How is a band going to make your friendship last longer? And one more person tells me that it is a day on which you make new friends. As if making friends is something like making laddu or jilebi. I really don't understand how any one can make friends on a particular day. Friendship has to grow with lot of interaction. Even by being together for years, we don't become good friends. We don't understand people. And here we are trying to make new friends on a single day. What a piece of nonsense. And if at all we could make friends in a day, why should we choose this day? You can do this on all days.
Anyway, for people who just want to enjoy their life, it is yet another day to freak out. For people like me, it is a day of no consequence. When I look from an other angle, it doesn't mind whether you celebrate it or not. Should everything you do have a purpose? Not necessarily. So you just celebrate for fun and try to be happy.

Me too, i agree that it is absurd to call it a "Friendship Day"...
and as you have said about it-what nonsense man..!!!
But, on the other hand, i think about it, and just trying to put myself on the defencive side of the topic, maybe it is a day for us to remember the ones who are close wid us-if in case we havent heard from the other side, and make it a point to catch up......
and for the rest it is just a lame excuse to hangout.....!!!
a good point to be noted. anyway, if you just rememberd your friend with whom you haven't had contact for a long time, then why wait until the friendship day?
Hilarious post... going like laddu jalebi!!! HE HE! and yea its bizarre to have a day like this... looking back I find it funny!! That i went around tying it to people. But those were days. kind of nice to laugh at myself!
oh, you too were one among those stupid people tying this stupid friendship band.
all fallouts of a busy fast paced life..
