Whether they are near or far away, best friends help us get through the ups and downs of life. They share our joys, help us to cope with our sorrows, and above all, they are present during both good and bad times of our lives. Therefore, it is important that you celebrate the good friends in your life. While friendship events take place throughout the year, June 8 is particularly observed as Best Friends Day, mainly in the United States and Canada. This Western trend has also taken over India.
