Being protected through a rakhi

One day in August, I forgot the exact day, something really nice happened. All the girls rushed to these little shops which you can find almost on each corner and where you can also buy some useless stuff apart from food, sweets and drinks. But the girls neither bought sweet not food, but a rakhi. A rakhi is a kind of bracelet tied among the wrist of the brothers by the girls. The Indian girls do that in order to request the protection of the brothers. On the opposite, the boys pledge to keep an eye on their sisters for the rest of the life. Something funny happens when a guy she doesn’t like hit on a girl ceaselessly. As it is a custom occurred among brothers and sisters, tying a rakhi among the wrist of an annoying guy means that they are brother and sister. From this it follows that they would never be able to get married in the future. Well, it is not that guy then becomes really her brother of course. But the girl can show the guy on this way that she is not interested in him; not now and in the future. Therefore, a rakhi often is used as a weapon, in order to get rid of the annoying guys. In my opinion, that’s quite a convenient way.
