Friendship Day and me



My life is full of precious diamonds who make me feel like Princess. On this special day I want to thank all my friends to support me in good and bad times.

The tradition of celebrating Friendship Day has been in existence since a very long time. Humans have been friends ever since civilization came into existence. As a social animal, a human being needs companionship and friendship. So, the celebration of an occasion specially meant for friendship is really special.

In the year 1935 the United States Congress announced the first Sunday of August as the National Friendship Day. From then on everyone celebrates Friendship's Day with much enthusiasm and joy.

Though till last few decades, this celebration was popular with people of western countries. It is only with the phase of globalization that people in the other parts of the world came to know about this wonderful celebration. It is estimated that this is one of the most commercially benefiting occasions for the gift and card galleries as millions of gifts, cards and chocolates are bought on this occasion throughout the world. Once started as a small event, this occasion has become as grand as a festival.
