FRIENDSHIP DAY - 1ST AUGUST

Sunday 1st August was Friendship Day. August is a  holy month in the Hindu calendar. Special prayers will be said in Shiva temples on Mondays and a lamp will burn continuously to help the prayers heavenward. On the 24th August they will celebrate Raksha Bandhan - the bond between brothers and sisters, when sisters pray for the long life of their brothers and brothers promise to care for their sisters - a rakhi thread is tied onto the wrist, as a token of love and faith.  Friendship bangles are being sold everywhere and sms messages are flying around and read:

Spirits r ageless
Dreams r endless,
Memories r timeless,
A friend like u, priceless !
