Rakshabandhan

It was rakshabandhan season recently and needless to say, boys will be boys, absent from all colleges/schools(yes many schools still open up on rakshabandhan). Well you might be visiting your cousin or celebrating it with your sister at home but we all know there is more to the empty colleges than just rakhi celebration.

Well this incident i get reminded of whenever rakhi season passes by, happened when i was in class 9. We used to sit side by side on our way back to home from school, and we adored each other's company. They were jealous, she was beautiful ,they wanted her as some sort of prize. On the eve of rakhi, they said tu isko rakhi bandhegi, she denied. They again poked - "is it because you love him sexually", everyone was laughing and I could see it was too much for her. She picked out a rakhi from her bag and i gave her my hand like it did not matter and seriously it did not to me. That day on i was laughed on, like even kapil sharma would be jelous of my popularity - "apni bandi se rakhi bandhwa li".

Why do Indians attach everything with their ego dude!
Rakhi bandhwa li sundar ladki se to bezaati ho gaiye.
Well my mother still to this day, ties rakhi on my father's hand, i used to laugh out secretly at this when i was a small boy, but today it has weaved into a long thread of sweet memories of their innocent love.
Ma and Pa promise each other their everlasting love and support, afterall no one is complete without the other.
The day i was returning hostel from home and i saw 2 boys offer seat to young girls maybe with due respect on rakshabandhan eve. I felt good in my gut to see that

I don't preach religious values, but some rituals in our culture and values attached to them must be preserved at all costs. These small festivals and sentiments attached to them are a uniqueness of our indian culture. Love, respect, live, peace
