Friendship Day 2022: Friends are the people with whom we share our highs and lows. Friends may not be there for us when we are at our best, but they must not ignore us when we are at our worst. Friendship Day is observed every year around the world to commemorate such beautiful bonds between friends.
India celebrates Friendship Day on the first Sunday of August each year. The day is dedicated to friends and the wonderful bonds that are unique to each person. Friendship Day is traditionally celebrated by tying a friendship band around each other’s wrists. It is interpreted as a lifetime commitment to be each other’s best friends for life. Friendship Day falls on August 7 this year. However, the United Nations labelled July 30 as International Friendship Day. But in India, the day is celebrated on the first Sunday of August.
