Today is friendship day . One more excuse for partying and raving . Time to reminisce the Good Old Days , to travel down your memory lane and recall the naughty summer afternoon when you sneaked into your neighbor's house with your best friend to get a taste of succulent mango , or many such indelible experiences . It is the day when you can give a call or leave a message to some of your friends who you have not contacted off late due to whatever reason .
But, due to some strange reason I don't believe in celebrating 'days' . For me , a part of each day is friendship day , a part is father's day , a part is mother's day . If you feel like talking to your friend sharing some feelings with them , talk to them at that time man! If you cares about your parent , it reflects in your daily attitude towards them . That's why in Indian culture there was no place for such mother or father day . Its' just the concept of the Americans , who live in nuclear family , are disinterested in their parents whole year , and pour their feeling on a single day .
Also the now-a-days too many days are being celebrated , for instance after father's and mothr's day there was parents' day last Sunday . Numerous just days are being institutionalised , by strong lobby of cards and gift companies to boost their sale . Hypes are created about such days through media , and Genx in persuit of being hip and updated starts observing these days.
But , let me clear one thing . I am not a Shiv Sainik or a RSS member or advocate of 'moral police' . If you feel like celebrating , do it and why not . But as far as I am concerned , I need just on day " Be YOURSELF Day "

Everyone has their own opinion about everything and this is what makes a person different from every other.
Many days have been made speacial, some had become.
A blank paper may be a virgin. But regarding a Friendship Day, my mind is still virgin.
