Friendship day

So we have lots of "days" in an year, thanks to scumbag greeting card companies and a society that will buy even this and this with the correct type of marketing. Now what's with friendship day specifically?

Take your mother. She takes care of you, and you ask her anything you forgot where you've put, you get an answer. She remembers extreme details of all types of stuff, and you get mad at her when she couldn't  find your things. And what you do on Mother's day? You wish her, appreciate all the things she does for you, sleep tight and wake up to another day of forgetting your shit and yelling at her.

Take your father. He pays. He pays for your food, your clothes, your school, your dates, even saves something for your goddamn children. And yet you ask him for a 350cc bullet and get mad at him when he says no. And what you do on Father's day? You buy him some gift (probably with his money), appreciate all that he does for you, sleep tight and wake up to another day of shopping list.

Take your girlfriend. She.. hmm.. you know what all she does for you. And you basically think you deserve all that. And again you try to be funny saying things like why women are dumb, and why peanut butter is better than a blonde, and such sexist jokes. And what you do on Valentine's day? You stop the stupid jokes, buy her something romantic, appreciate her for sticking with an asshole like you, listen to her that day hoping for a surprise in the night.

Take your boyfriend. He basically pays for your shopping. And you bear his stupidity. And what you do on Valentine's day? You do some shopping for him instead, make him listen to what you say at least on that day, finally give him a surprise in the night by literally sleeping tight.

Now take your friends. You hang out with them, say mean things about other people, discuss sports, clothes, shoes, Katrina Kaif, Salman Khan, Anna Hazare and Sunny Leone with them. And what you do on Friendship day? You hang out with them, say mean things about other people, discuss sports, clothes, shoes, Katrina Kaif, Shahrukh Khan, Anna Hazare and Sunny Leone with them. Is there anything else you would do on this "special occasion"?

You don't appreciate someone for letting you be her/his friend, you may even not remember why you both became friends. It's neither planned, nor you both might've made much effort to become friends. May be you both like the same sport or hate Karan Johar with the same intensity. That's all sufficient for becoming friends, and peer-pressure takes care of the rest.

But still, you long to be in their company, making it one of the best times you have, and you don't need a greeting card company to remind your friends that they're friends with you. A lifetime relation itself is a reflection of the depth of friendship you share.

And you don't really have a break-up rite for friendship. That's why this is funny.
