“Tinder during Rakshabandhan?” the Redditor wrote as the title of the post. “I have felt the FOMO for most of my life during Rakshabandhan as I do not have any sister. No one to tie me Rakhi and me gifting them stuff,” he wrote. He went on to add how he used the dating app for a solution. “Anyways, since last 2 years I have been putting the bio as follows during 2 weeks before Rakshabandhan: ‘Looking for a sister to hangout during Rakshabandhan’. Thanks to Tinder, now I have like two sisters both of whom I met on *tinder,” he added. He even mentioned his plans for the festival this year.8
