long time since i have written....my tomorrow has not yet come with respect to writing about the trip...soon it shall come...
today i m gonna write about a festival very close to my heart
tomorrrow is raksha bandhan...festival of brother n sister...festival celebrating the sanctity of this relationship....where a brother takes a vow to keep his sister happy...protect her..take care of her....and sister prays for his long life n happiness as well
history of this festival goes back when rani padmavati's(i hope its correct name) kingdom was invaded....and i guess her husband had either died or was fighting other invaders at other front or something.....and she didnt know what to do where to ask for help....in such a situation she sent a silken thread to emperor humayun saying she by sending this thread she had made him her brother and it was he should help her in times of trouble.....he was touched by her gesture...n sure enough reached there with his army n defeated the enemy n protected his sisters kingdom....
this is the way this festival started where a sister ties rakhi to her brother n feeds him sweets n prays for her brothers long life and brother gives her some gift...best part ;)
its a very sweet festival....
miss all my brothers who r away n have not tied rakhi to u for so many years....
miss u raja shubu saashrik saahill...
love u all a lot...n hope u have all got mine n mithila's rakhi by post....
