Raksha Bandhan celebrates the beautiful relationship shared by the siblings. On this day, the sister ties an amulet, or Rakhi on the arm of her brother – the amulet is a symbol of protection and love. This denotes that the brother and the sister will protect each other throughout life, come what may.

But as we grow older, we often grow apart from our siblings. On this Raksha Bandhan, let's strengthen the bonds we have with our siblings with these tips:

Value them: With time, our siblings grow up to be amazing human beings – kind, compassionate and successful. It is important to value them for what they are and cheer for them.

Stay in touch: We may grow apart in distance but nothing can or should come between siblings. Through distance, stay in touch and be part of each other's life.

Differences: Differences, fights may happen – it is normal in any relationship. But we should let go of the grudge and embrace the differences and find perfections in imperfections.

Pleasant: It is important to be soft and pleasant to the sibling so that they can find comfort in us when they need.

Open to talk: We often shut the door on people and that's what makes us lose relationships. It is important to be open to conversations, discussions and perspectives. This will help in improving the relationship with siblings.

Spouses: As we grow older, we find our life partners. It is important to be supportive of the sibling's spouse and be equally welcoming to them.
