Its 12 midnight and I get a msg... Some jazzy msg which ended up wid a Happy Friendship Day. I knew this wasnt written by the sender, and I never bothered to read it.. Just replied to it wid a polite "thnx and same to u" and was done wid it.
Honestly speaking, I never got the concept of celebrating Friendship Day. We celebrate bdays, anniversaries etc etc because they act as a milestone in our life. But why friendship day..? I asked the reason to a friend of mine who wished me, and i got a response, to remember all the friends u hv had and honour them..
2nd question.. how do u honour ur friends? by remembering them on just one day in an entire year, and that too often wid a forwarded msg..? if this is how u wish them, u might as well call it an acquaintance day... I wld look at it more as an insult u know...
The basic difference between a friend and acquaintance is that a friend makes u feel at home. You might not meet for years, but even then u know that the moment u guys see each other, the old closeness will return.. There is no message or call in this world which can mirror that feeling.
You might argue that u need to tell a friend how much they mean to u..? Again... why on that very specific day.. You say this the moment you realize this.. And most of the times, u neednt say this.. Your actions always prove the point..
