Ye Dosti ...

So the marketing mavericks have managed to find one more sell-able idea! Love sells, Fathers and Mothers sell .. Teachers and Bosses sell ... and now FRIENDSHIP also sells. And truly, we dont mind at all!

Amdavadis ... HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY!!!

Forgive me for being a cynic ... but do we need one day in the year (just one day?!) to celebrate friendship?! I guess not!

Doomed is that man's existence who has not known true friendship (A totally inspired original quote).

Having nothing else original to produce other than genuine gratitude for all those people who have imparted dollops of love and care as friends in our otherwise very ordinary lives ... we present some of the latest messages doing the rounds this friendship day!

Starting with a sombre yet profound poem ..

क़र्ज़ ना चूका पाऊंगा ए यार तेरी दोस्ती की ...

आंसू छलकने से पहले वोह कन्धा बनके आ गया था ...

दुश्मन की तलवार की आगाज़ पर वोह सीना बनकर छा गया था ...

धड़कन रुकने से पहले उम्मीद देता वोह ज़िन्दगी की ...

क़र्ज़ ना चूका पाऊंगा ए यार तेरी दोस्ती की ...

moving on to a more senti one ...

दोस्ती का तोहफा

यार दोस्ती का तोहफा हर किसी को नहीं मिलता ...

ये वो फूल है जो हर बाग़ में नहीं खिलता ...

इस फूल को कभी मुरझाने मत देना ए दोस्त ...

क्यूंकि मुरझाया हुआ फूल फिर कभी नहीं खिलता ...

An extremely cute and cheesy one ...

"One day Monday went to Tuesday to see Wednesday and ask Thursday whether Friday has told Saturday that Sunday is FRIENDSHIP Day!"

Do send us some of the most touching messages you received this Friendship Day along with some anecdotes about your best moments with your friends and we would love to cover your story.

Until the next Friendship Day ... may all the days in between be spent with true friends who are like the ones in the short story below!

"Result agar achha ho:

Teacher - Hoshiyar bacha hai

Maa - Bhagwan ki kripa hai

Papa - Beta kiska hai?

DOST - Chal daaru pite hain

Result agar bura ho:

Teacher - Padhai mein dhyan hi nahi

Maa - Aag lage is mobile mein
Papa - Laad pyar ne bigaad diya

DOST - Chal daaru pite hain

Birthday ke din:

Maa - Jug jug jiyo mere laal
Papa-Hamesha aage badho beta
DOST-Chal daaru pite hain

Love me fail hone par

Maa-Beta bhul ja usko
Papa-Mard ban
DOST-CHAL DAARU PITE HAIN!

Duniya badal jati hai par DOST kabhi nahi badalte, Cheers !!!"

We sincerely hope you have been blessed with all weather friends like this (by all weather we do not imply being fond of booze!). If not ... hey its never too late!!!
