This year the Day will go wider and bigger with many using social networking sites to define their relationships. Unlike in the past, the number of friends each person having has also gone up.

The children also preferring low budget bands while the adults are going for expensive ones to manifest their intensity of friendship.
The hotels have also announced a bonanza of events like live music shows, games and many others to ensure good time for youngsters.
