New Delhi: Friends can make the complexities of life easier to deal with while being the people we have the most fun with. They are there to guide us, support us, and when necessary hold our deepest secrets. While International Friendship Day is celebrated on July 30, India celebrates it on the first Sunday of August each year. 


The day came to be as a way to sell greeting cards, introduced by Hallmark Cards founder Joyce Clyde Hall in 1958 in Paraguay. The holiday grew in popularity, and the United Nations designated Winnie the Pooh as the world's Ambassador of Friendship in 1998. It also designated July 30 as International Friendship Day during its 65th session in 2011.


One of the most famous traditions of the day in India is exchanging Friendship Bands, but if you're not able to exchange bands due to distance you can send them messages to let them know you're thinking about them.
