I do have a brother, 4 years younger than me. Yet, I have never tied a rakhi in his arm, as it's not a big celebration in Kerala (like Holi). But I have seen a few. How do you people celebrate Raksha Bandhan? Is it just like shown in Bollywood films or a bit different?
Let me wish you a happy Raksha bandhan in advance........
Also, do share some nice Rakhi memories, if you have any. :) :)

For both my bhayyas, bahana ki tharaf se...a special rakhi. :) :)

We do celebrate it in AP.. I think on that auspicious day there is another significance.. Sacred thread is also exchanged by Brahmins which is a custom here in AP.
In U.P. also, Brahmins tie Rakhi on wrist of their patrons (Yajman). In fact, Rakhi is symbol of Brother undertaking to protect his sister. Similar promise is given to Brahmin.
I think there are few pockets in every state where they celebrate even in Southern states. But yes, not every one in south celebrates Rakshabandhan.
Why Rakhshabandhan is not celebrated in South?
There is a diversity in customs and festivals. Deepawali is also celebrated more in North. Also Bengalis celebrate Durga Puja and not Dussehra. Traditionally, Rakhsbandhan is also more celebrated in North India. There is not much reasoning behind extent of celebration in various states. some times, same festival may be celebrated in a different name.

But Rakshabandhan is festival which we should celebrate, to strengthen our relation of brother and sister. why this festival is not given encouragment in South?

Every festival has a purpose. But every festival is not celebrated everywhere. South Indians can also celebrate Rakhi but they are not accustomed to this.
