Kishore Kumar had an incredible knack of making miracles out of any song that he’d lend his voice to. And this song was one such example. From the film Hare Ram Hare Krishna this song is undoubtedly the best Rakhi song so far and of course, reminds us of the gorgeous Zeenat Aman.
With Lata Mangeshkar’s mellifluous voice, this song from the 1959 film Choti Bahen, is picturised on Dharmendra and could be well tagged as a quintessential Rakhi anthem.
This song from the film Josh saw two of the Bollywood’s reigning stars Aishwarya Rai and Shah Rukh Khan come together and play siblings. The song was casual and candid and broke the stereotypical brother-sister relationship that we were used to see on the silver screen.

My mother has made a small prayer area in our home, and my older sister Ritika ties me a rakhi in that part of the home every year. She's always particular about tying a rakhi that doesn't bleed colour and looks good on my wrist, as I wear it till it comes off on its own. Ritika personally selects the rakhi, and we invariably debate over the knot. We argue over what is the optimum way of knotting a rakhi. She feels very awkward when I bend down to touch her feet... but I do
it anyway!
Another one of her personal touches that I appreciate is the selection of chocolates on the thali. She's solely responsible for my major sweet tooth. As a child, she'd buy me chocolates almost every day. On Raksha Bandhan, she always includes my favourite chocolates in the thali. Both of us gorge on them greedily once the ritual is done with.
When I was away from home studying in the US, Ritika would send me a rakhi via post. She'd also include small ziplock bags with rice and the tikka. She would even send me kharchi - in dollars, no less! I missed her the most during that time and especially on those days.
Since I'm her baby brother, she always spoils me to bits. Instead of me buying her a gift, she buys me a whole bunch of gifts on Raksha Bandhan like watches, laptops, mobile phones or perfumes. This year, for the first time ever, I've been able to afford buying her a present in return with my own money. I would like to get her some luxury accessories, but she is very particular so I'll let her select whatever she likes.
