Deepika, Thank you for shaing this with us. An Indian friend explained this tradition to me when I inquired about his bracelet. Whenever I see a man with one, it makes me smile.

Although we don't have such a tradition in our family, your story reminded me how much I chreish my brothers (and sisters) and how our closeness would bring tears to my Dad's eyes when he saw us all together.

Thanks you for sharing!

Deepika,
it is a beautiful tradition. I've been blessed with 2 older brothers both of whom I cherish. Rakshabandhan makes me realize that bond; for many of us our siblings are the only people who have known us all our lives and whose life spans are very close to ours. They ride this life along side of us.

Dear Deepika, The parents also look forward to thi...

Dear Deepika,
The parents also look forward to this day as they feel extremely blessed when they see their Children tie that friendship knot amongst themselves which assures them that the Brothers would rise to the occassion(If and when that arises).Further the children move this wheel forward for the next generation.
God Bless All
Papa

This is wonderful. I have three brothers as well. And I do cherish them. Perhaps, I will make their favourite sweets.

It's a beautiful tradition! Unfortunately I don't have any brothers (nor sisters). But you inspired me to get in touch more with my cousins, at least. They live so close and I just see them once a year...

What a beautiful tradition!!! You are truly blessed and it is evident that you cherish your family.

The last sentence of your post is very true and it is very important that we learn to express how very important certain people are in our lives.

What a wonderful celebration! Thanks for sharing.
