    Happy Friendship Day!

    It's wonderful to have close friends to share our joys, be supportive in hard times, provide general companionship even if from a distance, and generally, just be around when needed.

    Good Friends are Hard to Find,
    Harder to Leave,
    And Impossible to Forget.

    There are many such well-known quotes. Let's share them here.

    Cherish friendships forever. Stay in touch with your friends far and near. Find out how they are. Don't ignore calls and messages.

    Happy Friendship Day everyone!

    I always find this quote ' A friend is one who overlooks the broken fence and admires the flowers in your garden' so meaningful. I think it is a precise but complete definition of what true friendship is.

    We, at ISC, have also, through our virtual interactions over the years, developed a sort of bonding and we, many of us, experience a personal touch when we interact. Virtual friendship also has the same depth and meaning as real world relations though it has certain limitations and constraints. On this occasion , I wish all my friends at ISC a very meaningful and rewarding Friendship Day.

    This day is especially meaningful to me to remember all their good deeds of our friends and it is equally difficult to forget them for a special bondage developed due to their behaviors and closeness.
    With my association with this platform, I have felt the intense degree of closeness of members due to our matching ideas in the different aspects though their physical presence is lacking. But stll then, I am happy to share my thoughts very often with our colleagues to wipe out my stress. The members are real friends to support me emotionally in the hours of crisis.

    At the outset, I convey my greetings to all the members of ISC on this friendship day. I thought of raising a thread but was not done thinking that it may not be connected to education.
    In India, we celebrate Friendship Day annually on the first Sunday of August. International Friendship Day was celebrated on July 30. Different countries celebrate friendship day on different dates as per their traditions.
    Relatives are who automatically come to you by birth through your mother and father. But friends are the people whom you selected and acquired on your own. So always they will have a special place in your life. A true friend is one who stays with you during your worst days. Many friends will be with you when you have plenty of money in your pocket but a true friend will be with you always and extend his helping hand.
    The following two are the best quotes I like.
    1. "Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together."
    2. "Friendship: the language that needs no translation."

    Happy friendship day to all. Some quotes on Friends are below:

    1. "A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out." - Walter Winchell
    2. "A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you." - Elbert Hubbard
    3. "Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together." - Woodrow Wilson

    Honesty is the best policy.

    The first Sunday of the month of August is celebrated/observed as the Friendship Day, although I don't know the reason behind it. On this Friendship Day, I wish my online and real-world friends all the very best.

    To me, the real Friendship Day is that day when I meet my friends of school/college/university days. I can unwind in their presence over a glass of liquor or a with strong cup of coffee.

    Let my friendship be
    Forever adored by me
    Blessed to have buddies
    In life with good deeds

    Let me do much
    More than share
    Ifs and buts but to care
    For the hardships to dare

    Let me listen much
    More than like
    But to accept
    As they are

    Let me beside much
    More than comment
    To find the way
    While they are lost

    Let me be the best
    I could do ever
    Though they afar
    I wish to say, "Happy Friendship Day."

    Bhavani,
    Very intelligently composed - fits the conditions of friendship.

    On this friendship day, I thank all my friends for their generosity and wish them all the prosperity and good times in their lives. Friendship is a great bond and sometimes it is much more powerful than the bonds between family members and relatives. A long time good friend is an asset. It is a joy for the whole life.
    It is observe that some childhood friends remain friends forever that is because some understanding develops between the person and then they start liking each other and a true bond of friendship is formed. In today's world though it is difficult to have good friends but with prudent choosing and selection one can get good friends for sharing one's feelings and other things. It is said that a friend in need is friend indeed but it has to be on a mutual basis and both should try to help each other within their capacities. Then only that friendship can survive for a long time.
    Happy friendship day to all.

    Knowledge is power.
