No, its not Rakhi Sawanth :-{
Maybe its because I am leaving Indian shores very soon that I got as many as 18 Rakhee's yesterday and more to arrive via mail today! My all-time record was 24- Count it- 24 in my last year in school at KV, Panambur and that too it was a half day for me.. Needless to say I am "Big Brother" material- Or is it that I am not suiter material??
The thing which erks me most is that even now, guys of my age take it an insult to get a rakhee from a girl who is not an immediate relative, no limits of frustration will take that out! But its not like I condone this "celebration" or anything, I actually dont care for all these Day's (Mother's day, Rakshabandan, Father's Day blah blah): If you care about someone, then show it the entire year around..
I had dinner at a cousin's place the last night (I seem to be out more often than not, and the paunch is evidence) and she showed gleefully the gold ear-rings her younger brother had got her: She is 23, the bro is 21; but the fact remains she was expecting something similar from me. How was I to tell I had spent rs 1.45 lakh the very day for foriegn currency and I had nothing better than a dress-piece? Seems that is as fine as jewellery these days given the squeal of delight she showed. Relief!
Nonetheless, I would rather share my respect for sisters/ mom/ dad etc the whole year round and God forbid the day arrive that I have to dread Valentine's Day! Brrrr...
