From making every journey worth remembering to being ready to listen when we need you most, friends hold an important place in our lives. To celebrate this bond of friendship, 30th July is celebrated as International Day of Friendship.
A friend is one who makes even the most difficult tasks easy. Guys have a special ability to turn a boring event into a rollercoaster ride, which they bring along. In addition to supporting us in difficult times, they also keep our secrets. Friends often introduce us to the power of sharing and caring for each other.
