Ah, Raksha Bandhan - that great festival where brothers realise how awesome they are, and that their sisters need to be protected from the evils of society. Others have their dreams of romantic unions with some girls shattered forever (I've heard the stories!) by a small, unremarkable piece of string. Of course, God help the fool who so much as hints that any girl needs protection - very soon he'll be asking for protection of his own.
In this day and age, with women deciding they are capable of anything (and don't get me wrong ladies, you are. You can do anything you want. Just don't hurt me), and thinking they don't need us anymore, Raksha Bandhan has become rather business-like - "Eat the sweets, tie the rakhi, give me a crappy gift, keep it moving. I have five other brothers waiting in line, so don't hog my time".
Where's the love? Where's the respect? Where's the ganglord treatment? One of the greatest perks during Raksha Bandhan is the feeling of being a small-time Don handing out favours on his daughter's wedding day. And in a flash, it's all gone. I blame video games MTV, and Baa Baa Black Sheep.
Ranting aside, Happy Raksha Bandhan to you all, but mostly to these very special girls (in order of age):
Ekta
Ranjeeta
Samta
Juily
Vrittika
Disha
Shradha
Divya
Miss you all (except Vrittika - I've seen enough of her :-P).
