Are you a movie buff? Love watching movies with friends? If you're are a movie buff like me, make a plan to spend a lazy, yet exciting day watching some great movies at the comfort of your home. For me, nothing is more pleasurable than chatting with friends and watching some great movies with popcorns and coke! Ask your friends what movies they want to see; whether they love romance, thrillers, drama, action, or horror movies. I am a big fan of horror and thriller genre. There is another reason to watch movies with friends because it's Rent A Movie Day on September 6; a nice excuse to celebrate with friends. Invite your friends over and have a wonderful time catching up the latest blockbusters!

Janmashtami is a beautiful day to celebrate with friends. For those of you who are wondering what Janmashtami is all about, it is the day when Lord Krishna was born to save us from all evils. So Janmashtami is a very auspicious and sacred occasion in India and is celebrated throughout the country. Fairs, musical events, various folk shows and folk theaters are organized throughout the country to celebrate the birth of Krishna. Devotees make beautiful jhulans(cradles)for baby Krishna. Scenes from Krishna's birth are enacted by young boys and girls. Earthen pots(matkas) of butter and curd are broken by young guys. People believe that if one rocks the cradle, his/her wish will be granted on this special day. People visit their friend's or relatives houses and gift sweets and wish them good luck. People visit temples and offer their heartfelt prayers.

Curious to know how to make friends in the online world? Depressed that you don't have any friends? Here's an answer for all your questions. Now making friends is easier than ever!

To get started, you need to create an email address of your own and secure it with a unique password, so that you can access your emails whenever you feel like.

Labor Day is great to celebrate and enjoy with friends. Invite all your friends and dear ones for a special Labor Day buffet lunch or dinner at your home and have a great time! Alternatively, you can plan for a get together at a nearby picnic spot or enjoy water sports and rides at some amusement park. If you love to stay indoors, then having a barbecue party would be a great idea. Sing, chat, dance and share jokes with friends with mouthwatering barbecue recipes on Labor Day. Spend this special day with lots of fun!

When friends sit down for chatting together, steaming cups of coffee keeps them going and provides them with extra energy. Whether I go out for movies with friends, or chat at my place, coffee gives me company all the time. I'm an absolute coffee addict! I'm really happy that August is celebrated as coffee month. That way I can drink few more cups:) Jokes apart, I plan to taste some really nice coffee flavors at my favorite coffee shop and discover exotic aromas of coffee. Celebrate coffee month with friends/dear ones!

Often there are times when we say harsh words to our friends or behave with them in an erratic fashion. Many friendships break due to trifling causes and misunderstandings. Friends are always precious. We need them wherever we go and cannot live without them. If you have broken up or had a fight with your friend of late, express your heartfelt apologies with sweet, sincere words and I'm sure they will forgive you! Remember, your friends need you as much you need them. So do not be depressed or distressed if you have broken up with your friend. A simple "sorry" at the right time can actually help you regain a lost friendship! Go ahead and express your sincere apologies to your friend!

Very often I have to answer people who keep asking me about making friends on a social networking site. Chat is quite passe' these days and social networking seems to be the newest buzzword in the online world! Though there are various social network websites, MySpace is one of the hottest sites where you can make and find friends of your choice. The craze of MySpace is alike among young and old. For those of you who are still wondering on how to use MySpace and contact/make friends, here's a nice video that will guide you about the basic steps. Now making friends is a click away!

Raksha Bandhan is on Aug 28. Since I do not have a brother, I'll tie a nice rakhi on my sister's hand. Traditionally, rakhis are tied on a brother's hand as a symbol of love and protection; you can actually tie or gift a rakhi to anyone you love--cousins, friends, or even a close acquaintance. I have already decided how to celebrate this special day with my sister. After the initial ceremony of tying rakhi and eating sweets gets over, I plan to catch a nice movie with her and eat out at her favorite restaurant.

Hello friends! As I said before, I'm taking a break from my busy schedule to relax for a while. Since Friendship Week(Aug19-25) is coinciding with my holiday, I have planned a lot of activities for me.

Day1--Calling up all my friends from college and university, right in the morning! Engaging in some refreshing conversation.
Day2--Going for a nice movie with Joy, Rimmy, Susan, Ronnie, and Rohit. They are my closest pals, so we plan to rock the day with fun!
Day3--Hitting the gym with double enthusiasm(no kidding!). Working out is the best stress buster for me, apart from movies!
Day4--Visiting Avril's place(she is my university friend) and learning a few cooking tips from her. Avril cooks great and I need to pick up few skills from her.
Day5--Shop till you drop! Yes, I need to go shopping with friends, since I haven't been to malls for a while. Then I plan to go to bowling den and test my skills in bowling:)
Day6--Time to chill out with friends in our favorite food joint, followed by a movie
Day7--Whole day outing at a cosy coffee bar, followed by dinner.

Now, this is a tentative plan, so things might get changed. But I plan to enjoy to the fullest on this Friendship Week! Any suggestions?

Are you in college? Do you have lot of friends? Then be prepared for whole lot of fun! I found out today that the last day of this month(Aug 31st) is College Colors Day. It's a day to have a ball with your friends, and enjoy to the full! We all love our college days. College means unlimited fun and free spirit. Whether it's going out with friends, watching movies, avoiding classes and lectures, or exam phobias, college life is the most memorable episode of one's life.

I still miss my college, my friends, my professors, and even my college cafeteria with mouthwatering food! It was so much fun! If you are still in college or fresh out of college, celebrate this special day with your pals and enjoy the true spirit of college life. Send free, fun college colors greetings to all your friends and wish them good luck!

Lets get together! This is something we hear often. But the fact is, we get very little time to catch up with our friends and colleagues. In this fast paced life and hectic work schedules, we have little or no time to enjoy and socialize. We want to go out and meet up with friends, but we cannot manage enough time. Weekends are the only time we have, but then also we are burdened with lots of work. We try to finish them off in the weekends. So the end result is--no time for friends!

I have friends who complain about this problem and rebuke me over phone for not being able to go for a movie or a party. But most of the time, they understand and forgive me. We all know we are busy. But we do make a plan at least once a month, and go out for movies and stuff like that. This week I have taken a week off from work, so I'm planning to catch up with all my friends and colleagues; write them emails, send cards, and if possible, host a party at my place. Guys, please give me ideas on how to arrange a nice party and enjoy with friends. Meanwhile I'll start sending invitations to my friends!
