Have you ever gotten extremely angry with your sibling? For example, remember when you were playing Fortnite the other day and then he/she just walked in somehow causing you to eliminate yourself? I have personally experienced and it just seems impossible that you'd ever want to love them. But in India, that love is exercised during the festival of Raksha Bandhan. Every August to secure the bond, sisters tie a thread around their brother's wrist to protect their bond while the brother in return gives gifts and promises protection to their sister. But that's not the end. Your mom, dad, and any other part of your family are also celebrated during the festival. However, that's still not it! Raksha Bandhan also exercises bonds between close religions or pretty much any at all. If you're a Catholic, you can still end up with a protective thread around your wrist! Well, you're probably wondering why they do this. Legends of the Raksha tell that Rani Karnavati, a Hindu queen, and Mughal Emperor Humayun, a Muslim ruler, were in the midst of a war but Rani knew she could not win. So she sent Mughal a Rakhi making him her technically her brother and promised protection by sending troops to protect his country. As a result, today the tradition is practiced annually to help protect the bond between brothers and sisters.
I'm aware that the word "because" does not show up at all in my post but I can make it up to you right now with a completely random sentence.
"I went to Canada with my two brothers, sister, and parents during Spring Break because much of my heritage comes from there."
Happy now? I even added all of the other three grammar fixes as a bonus.

I would like to go to the festival so I would be able to feel the love of the people that are there.Also my brother has walked in on me playing fortnite and it made me die and threw my flying drop at him.But I wish I was a sister so I would be able to receive gifts instead of a bracelet.
ReplyDeleteI would like to go to the festival but I would not be able experience it. I have no siblings so I can not really know what it is like. But I would like to hear peoples experiences of it. I still am glad I am an only child though. I hope I can stay that way too. (I also think Max and Louis could benefit from going here.)
ReplyDeleteWell written...and hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI have been to that festival. It is really fun their are many sweets and you gets gifts from your brother .I had no idea that that was the story behind the holiday ,that is really interesting.I also am kind of confused about the logic that if u send some one a bracelet he is your brother because the Hindu queen and the muslim ruler were not sibling right?
ReplyDeleteSorry ,I wrote u instead of you.
ReplyDeleteI personally would like to go to this festival because most of my friends have been there and done that. They were very adamant about bonding with their siblings. I had just found out about this festival when I read this and now I know why siblings in India get along. I couldn't imagine having to do this to my sister. I also found it interesting that the Hindu queen; Rani Karnavati gave Mughal Rakhi a bracelet and therefore became siblings.
ReplyDeleteIs there any way to write a blog post/instagram post/snapchat post or picture WITHOUT writing about Fortnite? I mean, its a good game and all especially with the new update(it epic) but they can't even respect humans with OCD because they dont even spell "night" right!!!!!!! Ugh.
