On Friendship's day...

Actually I felt like writing a few other blogs before coming back to friendship since I have already posted 1 blog on it but the fact that this special day brings smiles to our lips and makes our heart beat made me write this.



Hmmm, now what to write??? Everything has been said from loyalty towards friends to making them feel happy. Ahh, just yesterday when I was browsing through the net searching for a few nice "friendship's day sms's" did I find this short peice on the history of friendship's day........

Considering the valuable role friends play in our life it was deemed to fit to have a day dedicated to friends and friendship. The United States Congress, in 1935, proclaimed first Sunday of August as the National Friendship Day. Since then, celebration of National Friendship Day became an annual event. The noble idea of honoring the beautiful relationship of friendship caught on with the people and soon Friendship Day became a hugely popular festival.

Following the popularity and success of Friendship Day in US, several other countries adopted the tradition of dedicating a day to friends. Today, Friendship Day is enthusiastically celebrated by several countries across the world including India.

In 1997, the United Nations named Winnie - the Pooh as the world's Ambassador of Friendship.
