Hugs will save the world, and some hugs the world will never forget. Here’s a list of all the hugs that will remain etched in history books forever.
The Awkward Hug
Have you ever been caught unaware by someone who wants to hug you and you clearly don’t want to hug them back? This picture reminds us of a very similar scenario. Clearly this hug will make it to the very top in the history of the world’s, or at least India’s most AWKWARD HUGS. Oops!
The Best Friend Hug
Sonia Gandhi hugging Mayawati is just the kind of hug that screams, “all is well.”
The “It was Just a Hug” Hug
Ever hugged someone and everyone around you couldn't stop talking about it? Yeah well, Navjod Singh Sidhu hugging Pakistan army chief Imran Khan, was EXACTLY that.
The hug was intended to be “just a hug” but ended up becoming the talk of the town, err two countries actually!
The “Long-time-no-see” Hug
When you meet someone after what seems like an eternity, you just want to smile wide and hug them right? Yeah for some that “eternity” can also be a rather short period of separation (diplomatically speaking) but hey, no judgments! This hug gives us strong long-time-no-see hug vibes.
The Almost Hug
When two people don’t know if hugging each other would be deemed okay, that’s when the “almost hug” is born. What they end up with, instead, is a long hold which then becomes rude to break, just like this almost hug between American president Donald Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.
The Faux Pas Hug
Ever hug someone and realised that this person wasn't a hug person but a bow or courtesy person...Like...err...THE QUEEN! Yeah well although it might’ve been a faux pas in many eyes, Michelle said that the Queen didn't seem to mind it too much.
The “Will Never Let go” hug
The ever encompassing hug *sighs* This hug is a sign that both the ‘huggers’ will be by each other’s side no matter what. Obama and Joe Biden’s hug is just too many feels.
And those were the hugs that we’ll always remember. Don't forget to hug someone today!
