From beaded and stone-studded designs to cartoon-themed ones, over the years, countless styles of rakhis have emerged in the market. But one sister appeared to have found a particularly creative way to celebrate her bond with her tea-loving brother this Raksha Bandhan.
As Raksha Bandhan was celebrated on August 28, a heartfelt post shared by a brother about his sister went viral on social media. While his emotional tribute to their relationship struck a chord with many, it was the unusual Rakhi she sent him that eventually stole the spotlight.
The Rakhi that his sister sent featured elaichi, or cardamom pods, instead of the usual stones or beads, which, as per the post, was a perfect fit for someone who clearly loves his chai.
He Talks About His
Bond With His Sister Sharing a picture of the Rakhi on X, Vivek wrote about how his sister had moved to Bengaluru two years ago, which made it difficult for them to celebrate Raksha Bandhan together. “My sister moved to Bangalore two years ago. Since then, staying together on Rakshabandhan hasn’t been possible. Sometimes she is busy, sometimes I am, the rat race has made us its slaves,” he wrote.
He continued, “To my biggest supporter, my protector who saved me from belt treatments, kept mum when I changed marks on my report cards, wrote absent notes when I bunked school, and gave me money for trips. You are irritating as heck but still a part of my soul.”
However, it was his concluding line that added a humorous twist to the emotional message. Referring to the elaichi-studded Rakhi, he said, “She sent the perfect rakhi for a chaipaglu.”
