A little thread that has innumerable memories woven. The only festival(s) thats am sentimental about is Rakshabandhan and BhaiPhota. Both commemorating sibling relationship. While traditionally, it has a connotation of the brother protecting the sister, been long since we moved past that narrative.
For me, it is a special day to celebrate the special bond. Love to buy rakhis, order them in advance, plan some gifts and pamper the sibling.
This year, life taught us that we must live in hope, be grateful for what we have. First time that I haven't seen Joy on this special day. Ever since Rony moved to Bangalore, it has always been the two of them.
I did manage to pick up some simple Rakhis this year. And planned to send across some food, along with the Rakhi. Thankful for the drop services like Dunzo and Swiggy Genie. What would we do if not for these privileges.
So, while I sat thinking of them and looking at some earlier photos, they diligently wore the Rakhi, took pics and sent me.
Bhai has every Rakhi that I have given him in a special box. Yes, we are sentimental that way <3 nbsp="" p="">
So, Happy Rakshabandhan. As we celebrate the special bonds today, let us also celebrate being empathetic, kind and grateful.
