Raksha Bandhan is one festival that brings back a lot of childhood memories. The joy of buying rakhi, dressing up, eating sweets and expect gifts makes the day memorable. However, beneath all the different practices is a deep bond between siblings.

Brothers and sisters may argue about petty issues, trouble each other for fun, and sometimes not speak to each other for days. However, when one needs help, the other one is always there for him. It is this silent support that makes it a special bond.

In the present times, siblings may be living in different cities or countries, yet Raksha Bandhan acts as a reason for them to connect. A simple video call, sending rakhi by post or a message can remind everyone about each other.

The festival teaches people that relationships need not be perfect to be valuable. A relationship just needs love and understanding.
