Raksha Bandhan is a special occasion that reminds us the lovely relationship between brothers and sisters. This emotional event has a message of love, affection and protects siblinghood. ‘Raksha’ means Protection and ‘Bandhan’ means Bond. Every year, this festival is celebrated on ‘Shravna Poornima’ that is on the full moon day of lunar month. This year Raksha Bandhan falls on Sunday, August 26.

Many things have changed with time, but the emotions, the attachment has not changed. I remember, when how my sister used to tie Rakhi on my right hands, exchanged gifts and sweets, being far off, she sent Rakhi to me, a digital rakhi. -She sent me Rakhi through WhatsApp with the long quote, “Dear brother while tying this Rakhi, I pray to god for your peace, happiness, and prosperity. A warm and loving person like you deserves the best of life.” But the problem is that I can’t tie this Rakhi on my wrist.

Today you are going to meet some siblings like us, who have managed to keep the traditions of Raksha Bandhan alive and don’t let distance to spoil the occasion. This digital revolution helped people to celebrate festivals.

Yogesh Chaudhari, who lives in Taiwan since last two years said, “Raksha Bandhan is a very special festival. Though my sister and I video chat regularly, but Raksha Bandhan is special. I talked with my family today by making a video call, it was a very special feeling to see the whole family together on such special occasions. No matter you are situated in abroad, you can celebrate ‘virtual Raksha Bandhan’ with the support of digitalization. This digitalization has reduced our distance. I hope, I will celebrate next year Raksha Bandhan with my family.”

Govind Mule is doing Job in Pune since few months said, “It is my first time to celebrate Raksha Bandhan away from my house, and I am really missing my sister and family on this special occasion. My sister sent Rakhi to me through courier as well as on she sent a short video of some best moments we spent together. The world has become a global village, no matter where are you, you always connected with your close one! Especially when festivals like Rakhi comes, we wish that to be near to each other.”
