Rakshya Bandhan

If there’s one relationship that’s unique, it’s that of a brother and sister. Okay, every relationship is unique in its own way, but there’s something about this particular relationship that gives me the unique goose bumps. Each of our lives will always be a special part of the other. Brothers, especially elder brothers, are very protective of their sisters. They may fight, call each other nicknames, kick, push, punch, hit – but nobody else besides them gets to do that! Only they have the authority to do that. Brothers and sisters are as close as hands and feet. A brother and sister is friendship given by nature like branches on a tree we grow in different directions, yet our roots remain as one. Sometimes being a brother is even better than being a superhero. There can be no companion better than a brother and no friend better than a sister. If you can’t be friends with your own brother or sister, I don’t know that if you can ever be with anybody. Brothers are there since their sisters are in their diapers. They take on whichever role needs to be filled in their sisters’ lives – a brother, a mentor, a guide, a friend, a protector, and sometimes even that of a parent – effortlessly too. You may doubt your abilities or skills, but they have full confidence in you achieving great things. Both are there when you need that push to realize your full potential. Parents pushing you to get married? No way, no how, until you’re ready or the right guy comes along – whichever happens, it’s fine with them; they’ll stand by you. Feeling blue? They’ll be there to just hold your hand or tell you everything’s going to be alright – whichever one you need the most, even though they don’t know what’s going to happen in the next minute.

Basically, a brother is the best friend a girl could ask for! And it holds true the other way round too. A sister is the best friend a guy could ask for brother if anybody try to hurt her brother she will fight for it. That’s why I said that this bond is a unique one or rather more unique than any other relationship. Sisters are different flowers from the same garden. Having a sister is like having a best friend you can’t get rid of. You know whatever you do, they’ll still be there.

Having brother and sister is like we have everything in our life for sharing our emotions, feelings, thoughts. There is no match of their love, else brother and sister is the best friend in the world whom you can trust, a true friend given by nature that can always be with you on any condition which is priceless.

Since today is Raksha Bandhan, the festival that celebrates the unique bond between a brother and his sister,

Happy Raksha Bandhan to all the brothers and sisters out there!!! May your bond strengthen with each passing day!
