There is a change evident in most things that we do. Our lifestyle has undergone a change, as have our habits, our foods and also our preferences. Taking cue from the lifestyle we lead, we notice that people are constantly on the move, and there are lots of families which have members residing in countries far away.

What brings everyone together regardless of location is a celebration. Comes any festival or observance, and you will find the family unify and contribute generously to make it memorable. While there is nothing more than a celebration, that makes people long for their family, a tragic truth is also that here are several people who cannot make it home for all functions.

Today, the practice of greeting and gifting using the internet has become more common. It started out with sending emails and letters on special days. Soon, it became possible send e-greetings and cards online. Today, gifts can also be sent with equal ease. The only point of difference is that while all the other greetings are virtual, you can today enjoy your gift reaching your home with little effort.

There is no comparison between hearing the voice of your loved one, and being able to see and hold them. Sending an online card is a weak substitute to actual presence. However, when you send a rakhi to India, extend Raksha Bandhan gifts or even a thali, there is a feeling of having the person with you.

The trend of sending online Rakhi to India online has become increasingly common as people are comfortable with online shopping. The ease with which rakhis can be selected and reached have made them popular with all sisters. Not only can you now send rakhis to India, but also combine it with all the other peripherals required for the celebration. Raksha Bandhan is now complete.

Raksha Bandhan is no longer a promise to protect and help alone, but a promise that affirms the faith that you have in one another. This is a day when you will find every brother and sister find ways to humour each other, go out of their way to make specials and also make the time for their sibling.
