Friendship day

That day is here again, the day which brings out in people, rainbow of emotions.

This day can bring happiness and  joy plus companionship to those who  believe in it and value friends as treasures. Whose friends are safely locked up in their hearts.
Unfortunately, this day can also drag in  with it, a plethora of intense pain. Loneliness and bitterness to those who have lost friends to death, distance, misunderstandings and in battle of egos.

Family is family but friends are those essential ingredients in one's life, without whom life is tasteless. If they were not there, something would not be ," just right".

This day brings out emotions in people, which they themselves are not aware of. The spirit of friendship doesn't spare even  the most skeptical of people. The ones who consider all the gifting and celebrations and "unnecessary wishing" as " immature" and just a  " marketing strategy". It rubs on one and all, for everyone wants,  in my opinion, atleast one such person on whom one  can depend on, no matter what.

Friends and friendships come in  all forms. Some claim they have an army of friends who  protect, serve and help them. Provide for them, love and support them and are a very important part of their lives.
Some claim to have that one person in their lives who helps them survive life.
 Some are surrounded by hundreds of friends yet claim to be " friendless".
 While there are some, who do not claim anything yet are , and have,  friends who will do anything for each other.

Truth of life is, friends are those people who can make the journey of life better, happier and easier. Be to them, what you want them to be to you. Love them, cherish them, keep them close to your heart and in your prayers. And you shall be rewarded with the same place in their hearts and the safety of being in their prayers.
