For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. "—By Khalil Gibran"One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, indignation and compassion. "—By Simone de Beauvoir"Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over. "—By Octavia Butler"A healthy friendship is one where you share your true feelings without fearing the end of the relationship. It's also one where you sometimes have to let things that bug you slide. The tough moments will make you wiser about yourself and each other. They will also make you stronger and closer as friends. "—By Rachel Simmons"True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity, before it is entitled to the appellation. "—By George Washington"There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth."—By Chanakya"Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union, they insist, there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which, in my book, is a good definition for friendship."—By Marilyn Monroe

Happy Friendship Day: Dharmendra tweeted this throwback photo (courtesy aapkadharam)
Highlights Dharmendra and Big B famously co-starred in Sholay Dharmendra tweeted an iconic still from the film "Zamana misaal dega is dosti ki," tweeted the veteran actor
First, Happy Friendship Day, guys! As we are busy wishing our friends on the first Sunday of August, a tweet on Dharmendra's (unverified Twitter) timeline arrived to redefine the meaning of friendship. Remember how Jai and Veeru set major friendship goals in the cult classic Sholay? Looks like their dosti is still the same. On Sunday, Dharmendra chanced upon and shared an iconic still from Sholay, featuring Jai (Amitabh Bachchan) and his partner-in-crime Veeru (Dharmendra played the role). Tagging Big B, Dharmendra revisited Sholay days with this message: "Zamana misaal dega is dosti ki Happy Friendship Day, Amitabh Bachchan!" Aww, so sweet.
Not just to Amitabh Bachchan but Dharmendra sent out Friendship Day greetings to his other colleagues as well:

However, the tale of Jai-Veeru dosti continues to be a misaal over the years, courtesy Big B and Dharmendra, who keep reminiscing their Sholay memories. Last year, Big B shared a black and white blast from the past from the sets of the 1975 film and wrote: "Two very keen, committed, interested artists on the sets of Sholay. The jail sequence," which was preceded by another throwback Sholay moment.

Directed by Ramesh Sippy, the stellar cast of Sholay included names like Jaya Bachchan, Sanjeev Kumar, Hema Malini and Amjad Khan. Sholay also introduced Bollywood to songs which turned out to be on the list of Bollywood's most-favourites including Yeh Dosti, which was sung by Manna Dey and Kishore Kumar and was apparently filmed over 21 days.
