India is a country where hundreds of festivals are celebrated throughout the year. Since it is a land of various cultures, traditions, religions, ethnicities and practices, the festivals celebrated in the country are varied, colourful and vibrant. Be it Holi, Diwali, Dussehra, Eid, or Christmas, each of them are celebrated with the same zeal and splendour by everyone.
This year, the festival of
Raksha Bandhan will be celebrated on August 9. On Raksha Bandhan, sisters of all ages tie a talisman, or amulet, called the Rakhi, around the wrists of their brothers, symbolically protecting them, receiving a gift in return, and traditionally investing the brothers with a share of the responsibility of their potential care. With the passage of time, the festival and the idea behind it has also evolved. In the present times, for many people, Raksha Bandhan is devoid of any ‘gender’ related aspects to it. It is no longer only the brothers whose duty is to ‘save’ their sisters, it is vice-versa too. In some households, even sisters tie Rakhi around the wrists of each other.

11. “Sisters annoy, interfere, and criticize. Indulge in monumental sulks, in huffs, in snide remarks. Borrow. Break. Monopolize the bathroom. Are always underfoot. But if catastrophe should strike, sisters are there. Defending you against all comers.” - Pam Brown
12. “Bless you, my darling, and remember you are always in the heart - oh tucked so close there is no chance of escape - of your sister.” - Katherine Mansfield
13. “She is your mirror, shining back at you with a world of possibilities. She is your witness, who sees you at your worst and best, and loves you anyway. She is your partner in crime, your midnight companion, someone who knows when you are smiling, even in the dark. She is your teacher, your defense attorney, your personal press agent, even your shrink. Some days, she's the reason you wish you were an only child.” - Barbara Alpert
