It's that time of the year again! We are talking, of course, about Friendship Day, which is celebrated in India on the first Sunday of August every year. This year, Friendship Day in India is being celebrated today, i.e. on August 2. International Friendship Day was celebrated a few days earlier on July 30. It is said that friends are the family we get to choose, and there is no better occasion than Friendship Day to let your friends know how important they are. Friendship Day is when people spend time with their friends and tie friendship bracelets on each others' wrists. This year, amid the coronavirus pandemic, meeting your friends may not be possible - but the good news is that friendship does not depend on how often you meet. Friendship, of course, is being there for your friends, even if it is from a distance.
However, the pandemic should not be a reason to not celebrate Friendship Day 2020. Send your friends a meaningful quote or a funny picture to let them know your are thinking of them!
Here are some Friendship Day wishes, images, greetings, messages, Facebook status and pictures that you can share with your friends this Sunday to let them know you are thinking of them:
I may not be close to you this Friendship Day, but I'll always be there for you.
God is so wise. He didn't create friends with price tags because if he did, I would not have been able to afford you. Happy Friendship Day!
On this Friendship Day, I'm sending you a big hug and lots of love. Hope you have a great day.
You and I are more than just friends. We're like a really small gang.
The alphabet begins with ABC,
Numbers begin with 1,2,3
Music begins with do-re-mi,
Friendship begins with you and me
I don't need much else when I have a friend as loving and thoughtful as you!
We are going to be best friends forever... because you already know too much.
Even though we've both changed over the years, our friendship remains the same. Happy Friendship Day to my closest friend!

A friend is one who overlooks your broken fence and admires the flowers in your garden.
