Tradition of 'Raksha Bandhan' had begun when Draupadi tied Rakhi to Lord Krishna, for which Lord Krishna stood beside to protect her. Power of such Rakhi helped Pandavas to win war of Kurukshetra. In 20th century, Rabindranath Tagore made it as a custom in Bengal where not Hindus alone, people from all religions came together to celebrate Rakhi Mahotsav . Even today this is followed which has contributed India to be the largest Secular Nation in the world.  Although time has changed from vedic era to e-rakhi era, but the power of Rakhi and bonding thus obtained from it hasn’t. In our school Bharatiya Vidya Kendram (BVK) in convention with RSS has a tradition of celebrating 'Raksha Bandhan' irrespective of religion and gender just like in Bengal. I have immense respect and belief in that, man or woman / boy or girl / elder or younger / sibling or non-sibling whoever it is, a protector deserves a Rakhi .

D reams are essential commodities. They give us energy to propel forward. We put our blood, sweat and tears to make our lives much more exciting. But a small mistake may shed everything. However, mistakes may happen only when someone tries to do something new from routine. Nobody does a mistake while grooming 😅😅😅 Technically, ‘mistake’ and ‘fail’ are not the same. Failure is an outcome of misinterpret/misguide, whereas mistake is that misinterpretation. Mistakes!!!! They do define us in deed.

Adversities are an integral part of human experience, hence fear of failure should never stop us trying and should never lose sight of where we want to go.  How can our wishes be left with a sense of foreboding and cry over spill milk. #Give_it_back!  Both good and bad things blend to define the mean...

Grandfa!! It's been 4 years since we both exchanged letters. You last sent me was a congratulatory note and it meant so much to me then. I still remember those intriguing childhood stories of yours that you shared in Letter-18. I get amazed of how elephantine your memory is, to remember every moment you past through ! Here I would like to write you a thanking one for enlightening me with such memories. One day, you were having your regular evening walk in Sivalayam by holding my brother's hand. Being younger one, I sat on your shoulders comfortably and were looking at things in taller perspective from there :P. Although, you were using your internal energy to move around, technically I was steering with your hair along the path I wanted. That day we were enjoying the twilight off the shrine. There were situations when we (as kids) brought the temper in our parents for being mischief, I still remember that you defended us by saying “if they are not taking wor...
