Blogs Board: FRIENDSHIP DAY-Latest Tech & Software Info

The Friendship Day is celebrated every year on the first Sunday in August. It has not much history behind except the fact that the US Congress proclaimed this day as the Friendship Day in the year 1935.

It gives a day to be with friends and celebrate together...amidst of our busy schedules.

How important friendship is, this can be demonstrated from the following quotes from history :

In the epic ‘Mahabharata’, the Indian mythological hero Krishna demonstrates the many colors of friendship—affection, romance, brotherhood, guidance, protection, intimacy and even teasing. Friendship is all about these and much more.

Thus speaks The Bible about the warmest of all bonds—friendship. The Bible, the most primary text of the western civilization, reflects upon friendship as the bond that forms the foundation to human faith, trust and companionship. There are innumerable tales from the Old Testament as well as the New Testament about the value of friendship and how true friendship is a treasure to unearth. Both the versions make a difference between the two broad meanings of friendship—one is a mere acquaintance, the other is a more affectionate relation. These stories and examples have passed into western literary and cultural realms.

In the US especially, the gradual disintegration of the family structures has been replaced by the indispensability of friendship—friends are there not only in need but really for all seasons.
