In 2009, it fell on Aug 05. Raksha Bandhan means bond of protection. Though it mainly takes place between a brother and a sister, it can be between any set of two persons, irrespective of their relationship, gender and social status. The sister visits her brother and ties a band (called Raakhi) on his wrist seeking his love and protection. The brother, in turn, pledges to honour her wishes. Sisters present brothers with sweets, and brothers please them with some good gifts. This festival offers many twists and turns. And here are a few verbal cartoons capturing some such hilarious scenes at the end of the day.]</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br>(1) </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Only one rakhi on his wrist<br>Seeing the clustered wrists of his friends<br>He sobbed and sobbed<br>For want of more</div><div style="margin:10px 0">(2) </div><div style="margin:10px 0">A pile of rakhis up to his shoulder<br>Yet he cried bitterly: <br>“Every girl calls me brother<br>None, lover! ”</div><div style="margin:10px 0">(3) </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Only sister <br>She reaps a fortune<br>From her ten brothers</div><div style="margin:10px 0">(4) </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Ten sisters swarm<br>The only brother<br>He gets broke</div><div style="margin:10px 0">(5) </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Only brother<br>Dozen blood sisters<br>And umpteen sisterly<br>He sets up a sweet shop<br>The next day</div><div style="margin:10px 0">(6) </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Everyone envied him<br>Congratulated him<br>His arm had the largest number of rakhis<br>He only knew the secret: <br>He had spent a five grand on rakhis<br>And another one hundred bucks<br>To pay an urchin<br>Who tied them on him<br>In a secluded spot</div><div style="margin:10px 0">[Aug 07,2009: : Hyderabad-500056]</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=AtreyaSarma+Uppaluri">AtreyaSarma Uppaluri</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=570008" data-title="Rakhi Broadband: Verbal Cartoons de AtreyaSarma Uppaluri" data-description="[ Intro: Raksha Bandhan or Raakhi is an annual Hindu festival which falls on a full-moon day.
