Childhood memories are always some of the most dear and cherished memories of your life. The innocence, sheer joy of spending time with your siblings, playing the most childlike pranks and living the most carefree times are the memoirs that you are sure to hold valued all your life. that you are to retrospect with great love and fondness. One such event or occasion is that of rakhi.
I still remember the eagerness and the excitement with which we brothers and sisters awaited the occasion of rakhi. The streets of Kolkata and its major shopping areas such as Gariahat and Hatibagan used to get strewn with small rakhi stalls and kiosks, exhibiting a dazzling range of rakhis. Arranged in neat rows these road side kiosks showcased different models of rakhis, splashed with a rainbow of colours and bringing to life various degrees of imagination and creativity.
Rakhi during our childhood meant more than just buying rakhis for our brothers – it meant an occasion to buy new clothes, and shop for a whole lot of other things such as dry fruits, sweets and other small items of gift tokens that were meant to be given to our cousins. Above all rakhi meant spending quality time with our cousins, siblings and the entire family. It meant, fun frolic, great food and whole bunch of other merry making. Those were the days of childhood.
With time the days of childhood gradually got replaced with the phase of adulthood, which brought in its trails several other issues to attend to and answer. A career had to be made, the call of the age of globalization was to be answered and a mad rat race was to be participated in. Soon we brothers and sisters got spread out to various parts of the world. However it is our children who are missing out on the real essence of relationships in this age of social networking.
This rakhi I thought of making things a little different from what it has been in the last few years. My sister Sujata who lives in Delhi, Chittaranjan Park with her husband and two sons and me residing in Kolkata Ballygunje with my husband and a daughter planned to send our cousin brother, Arpan living in UK Birmingham with his wife and a son a little rakhi surprise.
We sisters shopped from Rakhi.giftalove, an online rakhi shopping site, which is offering an amazing range of rakhi gifts such as kundan Rakhi and kids rakhi gifts like chocolates, dry fruits and special sweets.
A special gift hampers was send to each of the destinations of UK and Delhi where not just we brothers and sisters received gifts but our children also did sent wonderful rakhi gifts to each other. Rakhi.giftalove enabled us to send rakhi gifts to UK ( https://rakhi.giftalove.com/rakhi-to-uk-50.html ) absolutely on time and introduced our children to the joy or making merry with their cousins.
It is with Rakhi.giftalove that we negated the huge distance amongst us and could send rakhi gifts to UK to our beloved ones in no time. My daughter herself received beautiful kids rakhi gifts and especially has grown very fond of the kundan rakhis that she has received from her cousins from Delhi and UK. This season of Rakhi, I will really thank Rakhi.giftalove and recommend this site to all my friend.
