Raksha bandhan is not about the loot. It's about all sorts of nice feelings. But I got great Brothers. So....
I got an I Pod. I have just started the onerous task of getting all my Cd's copied into the system so that I can then copy it to my I Pod. Yieeeeeyyy :-)).
I would have never got one my self. It's too hi-fi for my simple soul. But I know now that I always wanted it. It's so nice to be able to carry around your own music everywhere.

A beautiful day
I have three elder brothers and I just love this day.
Raksha Bandhan is about brothers and sisters and it just makes me so happy to celebrate it. As a Tamilian, it really isn’t "my festival" but since I was a kid, I always knew that I would tie a “rakhi” to my brothers irrespective of that.
Like any typical Indian festival today is a colourful day with everybody dressed up in finery and traditional goodies prepared early morning.
The rakhi has 2 meanings attached to it. One is the obvious request for protection by the sister to her brothers in time of emergency and the other is the sister's prayers for her brother’s safety and long life. I suppose it is what all festivals are about. Thanksgiving for what we have and hope for a good future ahead.
