Post 7 - Everything you want to know about Friendship Day

Today is International Friendship Day, also known as Happy Fraaandship Day in the most parts of Delhi. Like other important days - Happy pepper n salt look day, Happy Who let the dogs out woof woof woof Day, Happy I want to see you cry Day and Happy Fuck this shit day, even Happy Friendship Day has an important, to be worthy of attention, story behind it. Get some popcorn.

Here it goes. Once upon a time in 320 BC, right after the birth of Christ, eight people - Rachel Green, Monica Geller, Phoebe Buffay, Joey Tribbiani, Chandler Bing, Ross Geller, Kareena Kapoor and Amrita Arora were chilling at an unknown place watching 'Friends with Benefits' or something. While watching the movie they realised if a naked Justin Timberlake can make friends, then why can't they upgrade from being acquaintance to friends? So, like everyone else around them they used their Airtel 'Friendship Data Plan' and Googled 'the best way to make friends.' The first search result read - Go to Archies. Buy overpriced friendship band. Tie it to the person sitting next to you, even if she's Amrita Arora. And, the rest, as they say, is history. And, since then, to mark the occasion, we have been celebrating the Friendship Day every August 4, because that was the only day not yet taken by Happy Anything-You-Can-Think-Of-Day organisation, also known as the United Nations.
