Rakhis



Rakhis are back everywhere in the market, as sisters and brothers are shopping for Raksha Bandhan( which means 'The Bond Of Protection'), which is celebrated on the full moon of the month Shravana, which falls on 28th August this year.

Sweet shops are gearing up for the large supply of sweets, and the markets are full of freshly stocked sarees, salwars and jewellery.

    Help me out here.
