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. :) :)

I have no sister. As such, there is no Rakhi to me. Sisters tie a Rakhi on wrist of brother. The brother gives some gift usually money. This is all about the celebration. There are also special food preparations. A special sweets called Ghewar is more common on this occasion.

Movies show its dramatic angle only otherwise its festival of true love.
I have posted an article today to describe its real values.

I think...Phoolon ka taarom ka is the best song based on brother-sister relationship....of course the film too.

Sandhyaji I have brother. I have tied him Rakhi in childhood. Now he has grown up. He refuses to celebrate it. I don't like any festivals. He is boring.

Rakhi is not Bengali festival. Bengalis don't prefer to celebrate it.

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.
