Jammu, Aug 4: As world grows to the new introductions on the variegated themes of the inclusions of days celebrated, Friendship Day too falling tomorrow is one more such event awaited for celebration.
How much iota of celebration and in what form the tomorrow's Day would hold significance among its celebrators, one thing is very certain to come up is that the event is likely to just pass away as one another day in the calendar year with not much significance of it witnessed in any part of this region.
But then there are certain claims that promise to keep the tradition and nomenclature alive, again borrowed from the alien soils.
"We are five friends studying in Jammu University and have been friends for the past five years. We have tiffs but we make up fast. Some guys have tried to break our friendship, but they have not succeeded. We are fortunate to have a friendship based on trust and respect for one another. We give gifts on Friendship Day and promise to cherish our friendship", say Vikram , Siddhath, Pallavi,Ranjana and Neeraj.
They however were skeptical of making any comment on the culture being borrowed from the foreign origins and also had no big idea to share on the desi and mythical tales of Krishan-Sudama at galore in Indian ethnicity.
"Friendship is a priceless gift, especially in this materialistic world. I have a bum-chum and we have shared a deep friendship. For this reason, life has been pleasant despite hardships", says Akshar.
Strange bed-fellows they are known as-sharing a common platform only for their convenience. In the materialistic world very few know the value of true friendship. There is very little difference between a 'friend' and a 'fiend'- just the letter 'r' makes a world of difference.
Just like every saint has a past and every sinner a future, a friend with the passage of time could turn into a fiend and likewise a fiend could suddenly realize your worth and seek your friendship.
