Raksha Bandhan has finally arrived! All
brothers and sisters are gearing up, buying new clothes and rakhis and gifts to
celebrate the auspicious occasion. In India, Raksha Bandhan has always been
celebrated with a lot of love and care. Sisters visit brothers and tie the
thread of love on their wrists praying for their long health while brothers
promise their protection and care for their sisters. This widely celebrated
festival brings back happiness and laughter for all siblings as they get
together and celebrate it together. Lately, however, Raksha Bandhan seems to
have lost its essence, especially with adults where everyday work and routine
takes over the old tradition of visiting brothers and sisters. No one has
enough time to meet the family and so we suffice by wishing over the phone and
counting it as just another day. Time, work and distance have taken toll over
our desires and customs. How far you want to allow this entirely depends on
you.
This Raksha Bandhan you have the opportunity to celebrate this day as well as
carry on with your everyday routine. The internet works as a great medium for
this. All you have to do is search over the internet and you will find means to
reach your brothers and sisters without physically being there. It doesn’t take
too much time off your hands and also allows you to be a part of this festival
and reminiscence those old days of getting together and having fun.
There are various Raksha Bandhan gifts present on the internet, especially the Raksha Bandhan Pooja Thali which is basically a proper traditional thali for Rakhi with
various other elements like dry fruits, chocolates, sweets, etc and you can
choose depending on what your brother prefers. These Thalis will bring back the
essence of this festival and keep the tradition alive. It is not just important
but in today’s time it is a necessity to show the people we love how much we
love them and for siblings this day brings that window of opportunity, even if
you don’t call each other up every day and discuss the details of life, take
time out on this day to tell them how much you miss them and how life is just
not what it used to be without them.
For brothers there are gift items like perfumes, lucky feng-shui trees which
will pass on the good luck to your sisters and put a smile to their face. So
take out time this Rakhi and send Raksha
Bandhan Pooja thali is to your beloved brothers.
