We asked you, Dear Readers, to tell us what is the most wonderful thing your brother/sister has done for you.
Rajesh Konduparti from Andhra Pradesh tells us why his Rakhi sister Preeti is special.
I had always heard the saying,'Blood is thicker than water.'
Meeting my sister Preeti Doiphode broke the myth for me!
She and I are not connected by blood, but the bond is stronger than any real sibling relationship.
When it is a new world out there,
And no known faces with things to share,
You find someone that you connect with
Seems like, with her, for ages you have been
Finding her has instilled my faith in the saying...
'Blood makes you related, loyalty makes you family.'
I found a sister, a best friend, and a soulmate in her when all I was looking out for was a friend.
No words can express the gratitude that I have for her.
They say actions speak louder than words,
But today, my words will speak for the love that I have for her.
The person that I am today, the values and beliefs that I inbibe speak volumes of the role that she plays in my life.
She is the anchor of my life, protecting me from the storm that life throws at you.
She is the sole reason behind the drastic change in my lifestyle.
The person who made me recognise my inner talents and instilled self confidence in me.
For the world, the best gifts may be materialistic, but, for me, she is the best Raksha Bandhan gift.
Relationships are not by blood but by heart.
