Let us say you are holding an earthen pot in your left hand and a glass tumbler in your right hand.
 
Do you have any idea which is more comfortable to hold?

It is more comfortable to hold an earthen pot rather than holding a glass tumbler.
The reason for this is friction. The earthen pot has an enormous amount of irregularities which provides more grip to hold. Whereas, glass tumbler has fewer irregularities, so it offers less grip.
 
Friction is necessary because it is helpful to us in many ways
  • Without friction, we cannot write.
  • The speed of the vehiclecannot be controlled without friction.
  • We cannot rotate the pulley without friction between the pulley and the belt.
  • Without friction, we cannot even take a walk.
