Message on the occasion of Friendship Day!

“Friendship is like a perennial river which flows forever. It may change its path but will never ever dry up.” -- Pinaki Prasad Mohanty

Hello friends,

In the auspicious occasion of “Friendship Day”, our team would like to wish a good and happy Friendship Day to all the Bhutanese friends residing across the globe. After the resettlement process, we all the Bhutanese friends have been separated from each other and are residing in different parts of the world. The social networking sites and communication tools have made us nearer.

As a matter of fact, the celebrations of "Friendship Day" take place on the first Sunday of August every year and this practice of dedicating a day in honor of friends started in US in 1935. Slowly, this celebration gained popularity and at present, it is celebrated in many countries across the globe. On this special occasion, we spend time recalling the memories and also share the message of friendship and love for them. There is also practice of exchanging cards and gifts in this occasion.

Bhutanesefriends.com would like to say “BEST OF LUCK” for all the Bhutanese friends living in the refugee camp in Nepal, inside Bhutan and also to all the friends who are residing in different parts of the world. Let us share our plight and sorrows along with happiness with all the friends through this site so that we can be in contact every time. Once again, HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY to all. Let us stay connected!

Anniversary Special!!!

Ram Bahadur Baniya, who is currently residing in Norway wrote message to all the friends in the occassion of our anniversary:-

Prior to the concern of my recognition, I am a resettled Bhutanese in Alta, Norway. It is evident that, I arrived Norway in 2008 i.e.almost two years before. To say precisely, the new life was quite difficult for me in the beginning but as time went on, I emerged myself with efforts to explore the new culture, language,religion allternately.Whereby I am undergoing higher studies as well as, working as a part-Timer in various service centers. On behalf of current existence, I am also enrolled in keeping up friendship with all the Bhutanese Community in a global context by involving myself in FREIND CIRCLE,  BHUTAN. Hence, I ensure to all colleagues to remain closely connected ever after.

Thanks,

Hope everyone is doing well in their respective places. Here’s what I think about friendship:-

“Even though we've changed and we're all finding our own place in the world, we all know that when the tears fall or the smile spreads across our face, we'll come to each other because no matter where this crazy world takes us, nothing will ever change so much to the point where we're not all still friends.”

GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!
