Rakshabandhan ...

It was Rakshabandhan today and it was my first one on which I was not with my Didibhai. But nevertheless she had mailed me the Rakhis already.(See the Pic above)

Rakshabandhan is that day on which a Sister ties a Rakhi on her Brother's hand praying for his long and prosperous life and the brother in turn vow to protect her throughtout the life.

Over the years this tradition has elevated from Brother-Sister to friends, Father-Daughter, even Husband-Wife, even MahaStri used to tell me that she will tie a Rakhi on her husband's hand and I always used to text her or greet her on this day but anyways....

One thing that I feel about Brother and Sister relation is that when we are kids we have a different kind of relation i.e. we are at times jealous of each other or we get angry when we see our parents favor the other one more (in fact most of the times its our own imagination) but as we grow up and become more responsible we somehow get over all those feelings and we share a strong mutual love and respect for each other. I am not saying its not present when we are kids but these are more predominant as we mature.

As we grow up, for a guy his sister is someone for whom he wants to care all the time, to whom he wants to give everything that she wants and this feeling is same irrespective of whether you are elder or younger to her and in the same way for a girl his brother is the best person around, the one on whom she rely or trust the most.

Somehow these feelings are not there or visible when we are kids . Childhood is spent more in disturbing each other and as we grow up all that takes back seat and you just take this relation to another level.

Wishing my Sister A Very Happy Rakshabandhan and May God Bless Her Always :)
