RAKSHA BANDHAN

Raksha Bandhan is festival of brother and sister. I have only one sister, she is married in my city for some years she is living in other city. So she send me Rakhi. I will give her gift when she will come to me. Happy Raksha Bandhan.

Since I completed my graduation, I am living very far away from my hometown. Only once a year I get to meet my family. This seems to be very painful for me since my father is also doing a private job in my hometown, he cannot visit me. My sister sent me rakhi few days before through online and I sent her shagun to her online. 

For me it is a special time, as i look forward to 4 Rakhis tied on my hand.It is a time when i get to meet a lot of our family members.

Happy Raksha Bandhan to all those who celebrate the festival.Down south we don't celebrate Raksha Bandhan ...

It is a big festival for us. The day Sawan Poornima is very auspicious. Since morning I was busy with Rudrabhishek and Satya Narayan Pooja. 

I wish happy Raksha Bandhan to those who celebrate and Happy Sawan Poorinima to all. The day is considered auspicious across the country.

It is happen some time, have a video talk with him.

Have done the same. But it was so sad to see when he is putting tikka on his forehead himself or tied rakhi on his wrist. It was such an emotional moment for me...

I can understand your feelings. I have not tied rakhi to my brother in last 18 years after my marriage. Though we meet once or twice in a year, it has never been on this day. I was the only girl in y generation from both my mother and father's side. I have one elder brother and other 20 cousins and they all keep waiting for my rakhi for this day.

I miss it. It used to be so overwhelming to tie rakhi to more than dozen wrists at a time during my growing up year. Now rakhi celebration is reduced to sending them rakhi. But my bank account and Paytm gets very rich post rakhi.

Yes you are right, but some time we are helpless, you should be happy that your brother love you.

I think you can start writing hand written letters to your family members, the old classical way to relieve your stress & at the same time feel you have spent some quality time in expressing yourself. It is a very old way but it will bond the family very strongly & you will enjoy your letter writing time & letter receiving time!

Rakhi is a special day & a very good festival to say that sister or brother, I will take care of you & not hurt you or fight with you. It is a very meaningful & wise festival for us. It helps the small children to know its importance & brings happiness among family members. This year was the first year me & my brother together bought a gift to my sister. It was a very good time this Rakhi for me personally. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
