Raksha Bandhan is about celebrating the bond of siblinghood. But often life comes in the way and we aren’t able to celebrate it in the good, old-fashioned way. So let’s take advantage of 21st-century technology and celebrate Raksha Bandhan a little differently this time. Let us connect with our siblings and family members living in different cities virtually and have a good time. Here’s a list of things you can do virtually for a funtastic Raksha Bandhan!
Netflix & chill together
The best way of having fun is watching Netflix and chilling, and that’s exactly what you can do with your brother on Raksha Bandhan. Get on a video call, put on your favourite movie that you used to watch as kids, and have fun! The movie would bring back some good old memories and it would be a Raksha Bandhan well spent.
Send them a Rakhi online
While you can’t physically go and tie Rakhi to your brother this time, you can always get a beautiful Rakhi delivered to him. Receiving a special delivery on the occasion would make your sibling feel special and also won’t let his wrists feel empty. You can also scout other Rakhi gifts that you can send your siblings on Raksha Bandhan.
Cooking competition
A fun, virtual activity that you and your family can do is hosting a cooking competition on a video call. It can be hilarious if everyone participates and tries to cook a meal in like 60 minutes or so. It would probably become like an episode of MasterChef so don’t forget to record it! You can keep a prize for the winner of the cooking competition that is somewhere related to the Raksha Bandhan theme.
Gift them something personalised
Remember when we were young and we used to make handmade greetings cards for special occasions? Let’s bring that back but in a modified way. Send your loved ones personalised mug with rakhi that light up a memory of your bond and also make the day special.
Order your favourite childhood food
Sitting on a video call, you and your sibling can order food items that you used to love as kids. It could be chole bhature, samosas, or anything! Food brings back memories and it’s a good idea to go down memory lane on such occasions. Have a good time chit-chatting and enjoying your meal virtually.
Together or not, Raksha Bandhan shall be celebrated. So go on, and plan the virtual Raksha Bandhan event with your loved ones and have a blast!
