| Hi Folks |
 |
The green signal for formation of a separate Telangana State from the existing Andhra Pradesh is no doubt THE NEWS, apart from the sundry other political and business announcements which clamour for our attention. Amidst all this, do spare a thought for Friendship Day (1st Sunday of August) – to celebrate that priceless relationship that each one of us enjoys. It is not about saying good things or gifting something for someone you care. |
| True Friendship is a unique bond that grows deeper and stronger over the years – it does not require any ego-massages. While meeting, talking, spending time together, sharing and staying in touch nurtures this relationship, many a times a true friend is one who understands the much needed space and privacy in the relationship too. Just being there does wonders. |
| Do celebrate this beautiful bondage in your own way. As a Czech proverb says, “Do not protect yourself by a fence, but rather by your friends”. |
