Shagun Azad - Rakhi The Thin Thread

This time, I won't do it! I'm not going to bind the rakhi to my brother.

Many females are exposed to the proverb "sisters can never refuse to tie rakhi to their own brothers." Accordingly, they must still tie the rakhi even if they don't want to. However, is that fair? Girls need to have a choice, right?

Girls may experience significant pressure to adhere to this phrase during Raksha Bandhan. Even if they don't want to, they may feel forced to do it. They may experience sadness and a sense of being powerless as a result.Though, things are altering. Traditions can be altered for the better and with greater consideration for everyone's sentiments. The decision to tie the knot should be left up to the girls.Sisters can choose if they wish to, rather than "sisters can never refuse."

Keep in mind that customs can alter. We can improve them by allowing females the choice to decide if

The rakhi must be tied. It's not enough to follow everyone else's advice. It's about acting on your gut feeling.

Let's now discuss Raksha Bandhan. On this day, sisters pray for the safety of their brothers and brothers swear to defend them. Today is a day of love and compassion.

But here's the thing - tying a rakhi involves more than that. It is about the emotions that underlie it. Love and caring can still exist even if the thread isn't tied.

Therefore, our feelings are crucial.Traditions shouldn't force us to do things we don't want to do; instead, they should bring us joy and a sense of community. We ought to go with our gut and make our decision.

Let us reaffirm what a true brother is.

Once in Chandrapur, there were two siblings, Rohan and Aanya. Rohan was an awesome

big brother. When Aanya felt scared about doing something, he would tell her she could

do it and make her feel better.

As they got older, Rohan kept being super nice. When Aanya had problems or didn't

know what to do, Rohan would help her figure things out. One time, Aanya didn't know if

she should follow her dream of being an artist. Rohan told her to listen to her heart and

go for it, no matter what anyone else said.

Rohan's support helped Aanya feel strong and happy. He showed her that a great

brother is like a friend who helps and believes in you. And because of Rohan, Aanya felt

brave enough to chase her dreams.

A sibling relationship is defined by teasing and fighting and pulling each other's leg etc.

This story was an example of a big brother who supports her baby sister.

Let us look at reverse of this story:

Once upon a time in the town of Chandrapur, lived two siblings named Rohan and

Aanya. Their sibling bond was once strong, but it began to take a negative turn.

Part 1: A Strained Sibling Connection

Rohan, who used to be kind and supportive, started displaying different behavior

towards Aanya. He began opposing her ideas and imposing his own opinions on her.

His words were critical and controlling. He would often body shame her, ridicule her

choices, and compare her to others. Aanya felt dominated and small in his presence.

As time went on, Rohan's actions took a toll on Aanya's self-esteem. She felt suffocated

and unhappy because of his hurtful behavior. The love and companionship they had

once shared were overshadowed by negativity.

Part 2: A Brave Decision

One day, Aanya had an awakening. She realized that she deserved better treatment from

her brother. She recognized that his controlling and hurtful behavior was not healthy for

her well-being. Aanya knew she needed support, not dominance, in her life.

She made a courageous decision. Aanya chose to stand up for herself and part ways

with the toxic dynamics of her relationship with Rohan. She believed in her own strength

and knew that she deserved respect and encouragement from her family.

Moving Forward

The narrative of Aanya's journey highlights the significance of understanding when a relationship is toxic and making the decision to put one's own wellbeing first. It demonstrates that, at times, letting go of negativity is the best course of action for personal development and mental well-being.

Let's consider Aanya and Rohan's tale. The lesson from Aanya's tale is that we have the power to speak out for ourselves if something doesn't feel right. Even if it differs from what other people advise, we can decide to do what is best for us. What type of brother are you then? Would you support and take care of your sister the way Rohan does? Or would you behave hurtfully like the brother in the other story?

It's critical to keep in mind that we have options. What decision would you make if you were in Aanya's position?
