Friendship Day is celebrated on the first Sunday in the month of August. Wishing all of you today on this occasion!
Friend is a word which we know from our childhood days. Schools and colleges create a great space for friends and friendship. Friends are made in every walk of life and many continue with us from the school days and last long till old age. Lucky are the ones who are around friends. From our younger days these quotes made us realise what friendship is.
Friend in need is a friend indeed.
Tell your friend I will tell who you are.
The ship that never sinks in the ocean of life is friendship.
The importance of Friendship is induced through Mythological characters like Krishna & Kuchela, Duryodhana & Karna. Many fables carry the message of true friendship and this helps children to understand the nature of friendship.
Today is Friendship Day. we miss many of our friends as they stay overseas or somewhere away from us. We can send messages and talk over phone. After school, it’s only a few who go to same colleges and study together. Later on career, marriage, family all take their turn and the quality time becomes very negligible. In order to maintain this good friendship and to make it last longer, a few simple measures are required.
Only ME
First of all don’t feel that you should be the only friend to him/her.
Not remembered, but never thinks to forget
Don’t get disturbed if he/she didn’t greet you on special occasions.
Handles it his/her own way
Don’t expect him/her to disclose all his/her family or job issues with you.
You are special to them, you is special to you
Don’t compare yourself with him /her. You are two different personalities.
They like you the way you are
Don’t feel inferior in any way about anything.
No entry
Don’t allow third party interference If any problem, sort out immediately together.
Quality time
When you meet, talk about things that you both enjoy doing it.
Care for each other
As you age, include sharing health tips, quitting bad habits if any, savings for children’s education, Retirement plans etc.
Pat up
Try to boost each other to face the ups & downs in life. Never discourage or feel bad.
Be in touch
The support from friends is a rich asset. Take time to know about his well-being, and provide them a shoulder to cry-on in the crisis period. Because there will be many to cheer him/her in his celebrations. But you make sure to stand there at the needed time.

People say that women are the greatest enemies of women. I vehemently disagree. It is the patriarchal mindset that makes women believe in the wrong ideology.
The entire world celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8, 2024. It should be a joyful day, but unfortunately, not all women are entitled to this privilege, as violence against women is at its peak. The experience of oppression pushes many women to choose freedom. As far as patriotism is concerned, feminism is not a cup of tea in this society.
What happens when a woman decides to stand up for herself? Does this world easily accept the decisions of women in this society? What inspires them to be free of the clutches of the oppression that women have faced for ages? Most of the time, women do not get the chance to decide for themselves. Their lives are always at the mercy of someone, which can be their parents, siblings, husband, or children.
In some cases, women do not feel the need to make any decisions. They are taught to obey the patriarchal system, which makes them believe that they are right. In my family, I was never taught to make decisions on my own. It was always my parents who bought dresses and all that I needed.
It is shameful that in today's world too, women are abused and even killed for giving birth to a girl, and the infant's life is also of no value.
Trigger Warning: This deals with domestic violence, suicide, and violence against women, and may be triggering to survivors.
I am so glad that the esteemed courts are now giving the much-required verdicts regarding certain ideologies that were not at all entertained earlier. I mean we all have studied this much biology at our school level and it is our duty (our generation) to educate our elders about it.
Why someone have to lose a life to bring such awareness to the society. Delhi High Court gave this judgement concerning a case that filed by the deceased daughter’s parents against her in-laws. She committed suicide as she was harassed and tortured for dowry and giving birth to two daughters.
