A DIVINE BOND-THE DAY OF BROTHER AND SISTER!!



RAKSHABANDHAN- The lovely bond that holds a brother-sister heart's together. Rakhi is not merely a thread but its a thread that is stronger than anything else in the world and the strength of RAKHI signifies the strong love and bond between brother and sister.

The emotional bonding between a brother and sister can be truly felt on this day.
A Brother is the true friend given by nature. we may not be related by blood but the honest hand of brother is always a great pleasure for any sister!


A Brother is the best one for any sister in holding her hand in all her joys&sorrows. The siblings relation ship is the most divine bond and greater than any other and so the rakshabandhan is treated as a festival by our Indians.

The festival is marked by the tying of a rakhi,  by the sister on the wrist of her brother. This traditional bonding from our olden days reputed many histories for Brother and sister relationship. One of the best can be from the epic Mahabharata that concerns the bondage of Krishna and Draupadi. Once Draupadi had torn a piece of silk off her Saree and tied it to krishna's index finger to stop the flow of blood. Krishna was so touched by  her action that He found himself bound to her by love. He promised to repay the debt and then spent the next 25 years doing just that.


Krishna repaid the debt of love during "Vastra-Haran" of Draupadi. Draupadi's "Vastra-Haran" was done in the assembly of King Dhritarashtra, when Yudhishthir, her husband lost her in gamble. At that time Krishna indefinitely extended her saree, so it could not be removed, to save her pride. This is how He paid his debt towards rakhi tied to Him by Draupadi.

Not only this holy example there were many lively examples that represented the true relation between brother and sister.

How many epics we concern all says that the relation is holy and could never be broken by anyone. Losing her brother was like losing a part of herself!

"Our brothers and sisters are there with us from the dawn of our personal stories to the inevitable dusk."



"Dedicated to all my lovely brothers who shared my life and made it lively and lovely!"

    Interpreting the act of Droupadi in Mahabharata as rakshabandhan is quite apt. Maybe it was the real origin of the celebration of rakshabandhan festival.

My Life@ Infosys Mysore

It’s nearly 290 days I’ve been away from home. And the most thrilling and toughest part for me was scheduled from 7 th March 2011(officially) but its 6 th  March in the evening ,  when  I’ve stepped into  “Mr. Narayan Murthy’s Centre of Excellence” . First parting from my Dad, as it was half-passed 5 by the time I’ve reached the campus my dad was not allowed to accompany me into the Centre. Waving him with little sorrow and heart filled up with enthusiasm and new energy staring at the buildings and the huge campus which I’ve never seen till then , I entered into the first building at  Gate-1  that welcome’s every fresher like me in introducing the bag scan and security check which  were  there every now and then to irritate us in our busy schedules. After completing the formalities and holding the prestigious I’d card felt my –self very much proud to be an Info scion . I was allotted one room in the huge campus and  ...

LONELY NESS

Loneliness.......Its a feeling where we experience strong sense of emptiness and isolation!! The only space that could be occupied by anyone at any time for any reason. The only source for ones interaction with his conscience.Loneliness is not only to express our sorrow but its a pool of the deepest feelings of our heart that couldn't be felt by our mind. Loneliness is not felt when we are segregated from some one but its truly felt when we segregate from our thoughts.Its felt pathetic when we feel that we could no longer rule our life by ourselves. Only a lonely man offers his hand too quickly to whomever he encounters. The space of one's loneliness is so high that no one could be capable enough to fill it. Practically loneliness is not same as being alone.Its a state where one seeks emotional refreshment.Its not always true that loneliness is always for a lonely man but loneliness can make a man feel alone.  But this feeling of loneliness once occurred must be ove...

Desire Makes Life Beautiful

LIFE- Can be a bowl of joys or fistful of sorrows. - Can be a boon or a curse. It all lies in our hands how we coin our life. It all depends on our thoughts the way our life looks to our conscience. " The mind is its own place which in itself can make heaven of hell or hell of heaven" These golden words always follow me in every moment of my life.What's life? Was it merely a four letter word? yes, of-course a short four letter word that holds all our fortune, our thoughts, deeds and all our ambitions and aspirations. LIFE- can bring out fruitful results as well as fistful of sorrows. Heart-fully its how we mold it, and how we shape it. At our 16's Life is just a lump of clay which could be given the best outfit by our 20's.The outfit we choose paves the path either of flowering lands or land of thorns.Either of them could be the destiny, but the path you choose is the life you'd have ahead. LIFE gives us many things.It gives us lot's of fun, joy...
