Gifts are the ideal way to express mutual love and affection with each other in the busy society of today. They form the basis of mutual trust and bonding that people share with one another. I'm sure that as a child, you still remember your first gift - perhaps a toy from your parents, or your near and dear ones. It is not difficult to imagine how you must have clung to that gift with joy and delight. It is also possible that you shared the gift and your feelings of happiness with your siblings and friends alike.
About Rakhi
Raksha Bandhan (also known and commonly abbreviated as "Rakhi") is a Hindu Festival which celebrates the sacred bond between brothers and sisters. The word "Raksha Bandhan" literally translates to "the pact of protection" and this occasion is observed on the night of full moon in the month of Shraavana. This year, Rakhi is being celebrated on the 5th of August 2009.
This festival is celebrated by the ritual of the sister tying the "Rakhi" - a sacred / holy thread on the wrist of her brother. The tying of the thread indicates a pact where the brother vows to protect and look after her sister. He also offers gifts to his sister. The brother and sister also offer sweets to each other.
Rakhi is also observed in relationships which are not strictly brother-sister by birth. Cousins, Platonic friends also tie rakhi to their "adopted" brothers.
