History : International Friendship Day is a day for celebrating friendship. The day has been celebrated in several southern South American countries for many years, particularly in Paraguay, where the first World Friendship Day was proposed in 1958.
Friendship Day was originally promoted by Joyce Hall, the founder of Hallmark cards in 1919, intended to be the 2nd August and a day when people celebrated their friendships by sending cards. The second of August was chosen as the centre of the largest lull between holiday celebrations. Friendship Day was promoted by the greeting card National Association during the 1920s but met with consumer resistance - given that it was rather too obviously a commercial gimmick to promote greetings cards. By the 1940s the number of Friendship Day cards available in the US had dwindled and the holiday largely died out there. There is no evidence to date for its uptake in Europe; however, it has been kept alive and revitalised in Asia, where several countries adopted the tradition of dedicating a day to friends. Today, Friendship Day is enthusiastically celebrated in a number of countries across the world.
In honor of Friendship Day in 1998, Nane Annan, wife of UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, named Winnie the Pooh as the world's Ambassador of Friendship at the United Nations. The event was co-sponsored by the U.N. Department of Public Information and Disney Enterprises, and was co-hosted by Kathy Lee Gifford.
some friends acknowledge each other with exchanges of gifts and cards on this day. Friendship bands are very popular in India, Nepal, Bangladesh and parts of South America. With the advent of social networking sites, Friendship Day is also being celebrated online. The commercialization of the Friendship Day celebrations has led to some dismissing it as a "marketing gimmick". But nowadays it is celebrated on the first Sunday of August rather than July 30. However, on July 27, 2011 the 65th Session of the United Nations General Asambly declared July 30 as "International Day of Friendship".

Special Song : Yaaron dosti badi hi haseen hai
Yeh na ho to kya phir
Bolo yeh zindagi hai
Friends, friendship is very beautiful
if its doesn't exists tell then what is life
Koi to ho raazdaar
Begaraj tera ho yaar
Koi to ho raazdaar
someone to share secrets
without any expectations do friendship with you
someone to who hold your secrets
Yaaron mohabbat hi to bandagi hai
Yeh na ho to kya phir bolo yeh zindagi hai
friends,love is the only thing
if its not there .then tell what is life
Koi to dilbar ho yaar
Jisko tujhse ho yaar
someone be your lover
who is in love with you
Teri har ke buraai pe daante woh dost
Gam ki ho dhoop to saaya bane tera woh dost
friends who scold you on your every bad deeds
become shadow when sun of sadness occur
Naache bhi woh teri khushi main
aree Yaaron dosti badi hi haseen hai
also dance with you when you are happy
yes friends, friendship is very beautiful
Tan mann kar tujhpe fida
Mehboob woh
Palkon pe jo rakhe tujhe
Jiski vafa tere liye ho
he give his life for you
Lover he is
keep you on his eyes
Whose commitments are for you.
