Friendship rarely announces itself in big ways.
More often, it's a quiet, everyday gesture -- a phone call when you need it, a knowing glance or someone just sitting with you when you're falling apart.
That's when you realise: This person isn't just a friend. They're family.
This Friendship Day, August 3, think back to the moment you knew. Maybe they stuck by you when everyone else backed away. Maybe they made you laugh when nothing felt funny. Or maybe they were just there, without needing a reason.
We want to hear about that one moment -- it could be emotional, funny or heartwarming -- that made the difference.
Because the best friendships don't need fireworks. Just honesty. And maybe a story worth sharing.
