New Delhi: True friendship is a priceless gift. It is a connection that cuts across space and time, binding people together through threads of unspoken understandings. Best friends are those that accept us as we are, without holding anything against us or passing judgement. Every year, National Best Friend Day is celebrated on June 8, a day to recall all the good old times spent with our best friend and catch up with them to make new memories.
