Life is not fair. We all know that. But having a big sister or brother always helps, doesn’t it? All those physical fights of punching each other, all those battles for the TV remote, the taking bites of one another’s food—who doesn’t like them? Just kidding; these are surely the reasons we don’t like them, but there are also plenty of reasons to love them. Like the 2 AM “please send me money” phn calls, managing parents on date nights, helping to sneak in, and occasional treats without any reasons.

Brothers arrange surprise gifts for sisters, and sisters order online sweets for brothers. Just because Rakhi has evolved a bit with time, the strong bond between siblings has loosened. Rather, the modernization of the whole thing shows the real admiration and affection that brothers and sisters have for each other.
