International Friendship Day is upon us. We celebrate the day by sharing WhatsApp forwards, transcending in quirky gifts or meeting for a meal. Some of your friends will be cliché while others will surprise you. But the one fact that cannot be denied is that they are the essential parts of our lives and in a true sense, they are. Be it in your happiness or sadness, they stick to you and love you unconditionally. But when it comes to describing our friendship we often fall short of words. There are people around the world that beautifully describes the relationship in words.
