Ye Dosti hum nahi tondenge… We all have sung this song with our friend on top of our throats. Well, its friendship day. The most beautiful relationship anyone can cherish and celebrate. We can’t choose our family or relatives but Life gives us the beautiful option of choosing friends. And there is no exaggeration in saying that Friends do play a major role in shaping our lives and memories. We all have many good friends but there are few with whom even the mundane task seems exciting. These people know our deepest fear and stand by us. They are our biggest critics and they guard us even in our absence. They will tease us to no extent but will do anything if we shed even a tear.
