29th August

Completed morning program. Rashabandhan is observed today. My two sisters, elder Dayawati (affectionately called  Bitti') younger 'Shanno' spoke to me. They sent Rakhis by post which had reached us few days back. Venita helped in tying them in the morning. A small quantity of propitiated 'rochna' also sent along with Rakhis was applied by me on the forehead after tying the Rakhis.The ceremony symbolizes sister's wish for protection by the brother in time of need. It reminds a brother of duty towards his sister every year on this day: Shravan Poornima.
                   Alaynah tying Rakhi to Akshat today
