Bonds of Love!

Rakhi is always special, infact knowing me, I consider all festivals remarkable. I don’t really know why people don’t celebrate festivities with passion these days like they used to. The younger kids are more of “khatam karo” attitude. This is who you are. There are so many memories attached to each year of growing and nurturing your bond. The whole fun of getting together with all cousins, laughter doses, new members joining in the celebrations is what makes the day so unique, there is something so positive about that. The overload of sweets, hugs, kisses, gifts (:p), I really do enjoy the spirit of togetherness.I love how our festivals have history behind them. They have stood the test of time and the longer they run, the stronger your belief grows in them. It’s just that special bond between siblings that strengthens in spite of how much you fight or get busy with your own lives.

I always wanted a brother of my own, my own flesh and blood. We are three sisters, even though that is amazing because of all the pampering, I don’t really know how it would have been if we would have had a brother. I remember tying Rakhi to dad when I was a kid, then to Krishna, but then you want a real person as a brother. Thankfully though God has been kind and given me some really good people in my life who protect me. The blood bonds may make you genetically obligated to be a family but it’s the bonds that are built on love that survive the test of time.
