The festival of Raksha Bandhan… marked by the sister tying the Rakhi on the wrist of her brother.

  1. At my place, my phuphus themselves sang while tying the rakhis, 5 phuphus (among 7) come for the festival, each one sings a different song, I tried to do a video, but it's so unstable as my cousine's hand was trembling, watching the video will give headaches, so i won't upload.
    Happy Rakhee ;)

  2. Haha the song! My sister and cousins would cringe when they would be forced by the mothers and aunties to sing it :D

    The laddoos look amazing...
