Tru-Bandhan!
Wishing
you all a very happy Raksha Bandhan "the knot of protection” A
festival that ritually celebrates the love and duty between brothers and their
sisters. One of the several occasions in which family ties are affirmed in India.
It’s an ancient Vedic festival
which is celebrated every year on the full moon day of the month of Shravan
(August).Gifts play a prominent role and symbolizes tokens of love and
affection.
On this occasion filled with love and
bonding, are you still wondering what to give your darling sister? You sure
need to look beyond the usual mithai and chocolates, maybe a little cash
is advised.

surprise your sibling with an unexpected Raksha Bandhan holiday trip with the
family this August. I am sure she will bless you a million times for being a
little different and surely the best brother in the world ….
