Yet another day?
The first Sunday of every August is traditionally celebrated as Friendship Day. A ritual that apparently goes back to 1935, when the U.S. Congress designated the day to be remembered as Friendship Day. But it's only in the last three or four years th at we have begun celebrating the day in India, with bands, greeting cards and get-togethers.

HEMANGIN I GUPTA asks people what, if anything, Friendship Day means to them.
