Also, to give credit where credit is due, thank you Sarayu (aka Pedamma) for the picture that I've copied and pasted below :)
***********
Rakhi is a tradition where sisters tie rakhi bracelets on their brothers, and brothers reciprocate with treats/money/gifts for their sister. When you don't have a brother, you can celebrate Rakhi with any boy cousins and, as my inlaws just told me, sisters can even tie rakhi on each other to signify their love and protection of one another. So sweet!
Traditions like this are a little hard to do when you live far away from one another. So, Ananya and Amisha have been celebrating each and every year by sending rakhis to Aadvik and then we Facetime to thank each other for the rakhis and gifts.
This year, rakhi was extra special because
- Pooneet got interviewed on NPR about Rakhi [which, I think, officially makes him a Rakhi expert, so please ask him any and all questions about this day], and
- I completely forgot that the girls only have to send the rakhi bracelets so we sent gifts for our favorite Aadvik only to later realize that we weren't supposed to send gifts AND we forgot to send the rakhis. Excellent. [sorry Aadvik!]
Sarayu (aka Pedamma) blogged about it this year and it was so cute and descriptive that I thought we'd just re-post!
Go to Aadvik Mitra: Rakhi to see more pictures of the 3 A's: Ananya, Amisha, and Aadvik!
