Raksha Bandhan, a day that celebrates the bond between siblings! But you already know that. What you aren’t aware of is that it is so much more. A day to get closer to your sibling. A day to reminisce and go down the memory path. A day to explore your strengths, together.
So this Raksha Bandhan, follow the traditions to a tee but also indulge in activities that nurture your bond and bring out the best of both of you together.
Let’s explore some fun activities:
Even while growing up, food was something both of you bonded over. Now, take it to the next level and stir up some fun around it. Both of you pick each other’s cherished snack for Rakhi - laddoos, chole or shahi pulao, and cook for each other. In fact, turn it into a fun competition. Set a timer, gather the ingredients, exchange competitive looks and play on! Your family can judge your dishes and pick a winner. The best part, with so much yummy food to go around, the cook-off will just be the beginning of a memorable day.
The readymade rakhis are surely exquisite but DIY rakhis are a beautiful way to add a personal touch to your traditions. With some creativity and basic materials, get together with your sibling and create a homemade rakhi that's loaded with thought, care and love. Use colourful threads, beads, ribbons, feathers and even recycled materials to add more meaning to the Rakhi. Working together will remind you of all the fun tasks you've done in the past and maybe even encourage you to turn this into a habit. So get together and get crafty, there's so much to create.
When you flip through old photo albums, often you come across pictures that instantly put a smile on your face. And the fact that it is the cute little version of you and your sibling, makes it all the more worthwhile. But this time don’t just scroll through your memories, instead make more. Pick the favourite photo of you two from your childhood days and recreate it. Get a similar background, practise the exact cutesy poses, make sure to nail the outfits and keep that innocence alive. You’ll create endless memories while prepping for this photoshoot and the new picture will make for the perfect addition to your family album.
Pick each other’s adventures
It doesn’t matter if one of you is the outdoorsy one and the other a peaceful one because this Rakhi you get to choose what the other does. And you get to do it together. It’s a fun activity that not only brings you two closer but also encourages you to get a taste of each other’s world. So tickle your brain cells and let the thinking begin. Here are some activities for your homebody sibling - Trekking, cliff diving, cycling tour or an off-roading trip. And some activities for your super outdoorsy sibling - Meditation, movie marathon night, cooking classes or yoga.
Give back to the community
There’s nothing like sharing your love with others. And how better to do that than by giving back to the community? Spend the day at an orphanage and make the little ones’ day. Go volunteer at an animal shelter and spend precious time with your furry friends. All of these activities will make you more grateful for life, your siblings and your special bonds too, all the while making you understand the importance of including community on festivals.
