Next we have this one from Sreeram Pavan based in New York. He says, "When I was in India we used to celebrate Rakhi as a special festival. My sis used to come back to our house to tie the holy thread, a symbol of love. Now she send it across to America by post -- which arrives very late! But what I do is, I tie it on whenever it arrives and wear new clothes that day.

Hugs all around!
