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.

Since the day happened to be a Sunday, the activity will be more. Gift shops, cake outlets and food joints have announced special items for the occasion and promised to deliver them to the destination.

While school children are preferring toon prints, the college going youth are asking for colourful designs that would last days after the event. 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.
