Happy Friendship’s Day: Quotes that will make you want to give a tight hug to your best friend squad

When was the last time you felt you were lonely? When was the last time you felt you had nobody to talk to? When was the last time when you shut yourself down feeling like you had nowhere to go to? Just when you are feeling and living all of those bizarre emotions, comes a hand warm as ever, holding your hand giving you an assurance, that you’re not alone. That my friend, is your true friend; a relationship so pure that goes beyond blood. Don’t we all feel this maddening amount of connect with this “outsider” who just becomes a major constant in our life?

“Pyaar dosti hai” - Shah Rukh Khan

Back in the 1990s, SRK well established that friendship leads to the strongest bonds ever. The beauty about this relationship is that you can create it with almost anybody, anywhere; basically with someone who you connect with deeply. Why do you think we are more eased out around our friends? Why do you think we have this “no-filter” talk and behaviour with them? Why do you think you are ready to do anything for your “yaar”? It’s because we organically agree upon growing together. Its that ship which switches the anchor basis who needs more support and sanity.

Friendship’s Day is celebrated globally on the first Sunday of August every year. While we don’t really need a day to celebrate friendship, it is however nice to feel extra loved and pampered on that one particular day. Pure and out-there friendship is when you text your best friend saying that you are really pissed at them; it's when you just release all your stress in front of them; its when their warmest hug waives off all the madness that you’ve been facing for a while. That one fight with them twists and ruins your entire mood, everything looks and feels outright ‘bleh’. It is actually during the low times when you realise how important they are to you and that you just cannot do without them.
