Since childhood, you shared a precious bond of love, friendship, share, and care with your sibling. From sharing the dark secrets to the last piece of donut, caring about each other during illness, bonding over the same cartoon show \u2013 there are many moments that readily bring a smile to your face.

Learning How the Real World Works:<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"#ThankYourSibling<\/p>\n

The siblings feel bored if they are not into any kind of silly fight. The reason can be anything from snatching the TV Remote to closing the bathroom door from outside. There is a continuous banter between brothers and sisters and they are never at peace. Sometimes, when you touched the books or diary of your siblings, you got a good thrashing. All these teasing and fighting actually helped you to nurture a better outlook of the world. The real world outside the home is very different and it is always ready to bite you, frighten you, and scar you. But just for your sibling, you know how to deal with that reality! This Raksha Bandhan, therefore, doesn\u2019t forget to thank your sibling for whom you know the world in a better way.<\/p>\n

Learning to Manage in Small:<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"ThankYourSibling<\/p>\n

Pocket money in childhood used to be a big thing. It always seemed small or meager! And additionally, your brother or sister had their weekly or monthly demand of asking a portion of your pocket money because they consumed theirs. Being a benevolent kid, you smiled and gave some of your saved money to them and let them fulfill their wish. You never questioned when they didn\u2019t care to return that amount of money! Little did you know then that this is a practice that is preparing you to manage in small in life ahead! So, when you went to PG, hostel, or another city, you managed very well. Sometimes, your parents also apologized for a slight delay in sending money, but you were absolutely fine in your skimpy demands.<\/p>\n

Learning to Compromise:<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Learnt<\/p>\n

They say \u201csometimes it is not rainbows and butterflies but a compromise that moves us along\u201d. If you felt one thing clearly since childhood that your parents had an inch bigger place in their heart for your sibling, then that has somehow helped you in being wiser. Compromise is always the act of a mature person. As you were not the favorite of your parents, you know how to compromise easily. In later life, when you shifted to the hostel, PG, or shared your flat with a colleague or worked in a team, you were treated as the coolest one ever! Why? Because you were flexible and had no issues in adjusting your week off or sleeping with lights on!<\/p>\n

Learning to Cook a Story Instantly:<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"#ThankYourSibling<\/p>\n

Lying like robbery is an art until you get caught! If your sibling had the habit of telling on you every time, then you must have by now excelled in this art of cooking a story instantly. There used to be and still is a lot of conviction in your words and voice. And this quality made\/make people believe in you. Even you don\u2019t know how well you cook a story rapidly. Be it for a late night return or smell of beer from the shirt \u2013 whenever you were made the scapegoat by your sibling, you simply prepared from your cookbook and won people with your point. So, you actually own this talent for your sibling. #ThankYourSibling with our platter of sweets- authentic or sugar-free ones and show your gratitude!<\/p>\n

Learning Self Defense:<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"#ThankYourSibling<\/p>\n

Siblings generally take each other\u2019s name to save themselves from scolding of their parents. Blame Game is the name of this act which every sibling has done in their life with pride. So, what have you done when your sibling put the blame on you for anything and everything? Of course, you defended yourself to come out clear of the sin. This practice helped you to be always alert for self-defense. Therefore, #ThankYourSibling for this Raksha Bandhan by gifting our rakhi with a chocolate combo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Learning to Share Unwillingly:<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"You<\/p>\n

Siblings and Share go hand in hand. But as every individual differs from one another, there are certain things that you would not like to share with your siblings. For example, you were after your mom for a branded leather jacket for more than a year and finally, when you got it, your sibling went for a trial and liked it so much that went out for a party flaunting it. There is nothing wrong with sharing clothes, pen, headphone, etc. But there is a zone called \u201cmy favorite\u201d and nobody wants to share that willingly. But just for your sibling, today you know how to share unwillingly too! This is a great trait you have because everyone is not so valiant in sharing their favorite things. It takes a giving heart to do so. So, #ThankYourSibling for making you so generous!<\/p>\n

Learning to Let Go:<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"#ThankYourSibling<\/p>\n

Perhaps this is the biggest and the most important life lesson that you have learned from your sibling. Letting go of things and people is not easy at all. Everyone knows that and lectures each other in times of need. But seriously, letting go off is one of the most difficult tasks ever. Would Life have been better without this \u2013 right? But life is harsh sometimes so that you enjoy the soft green grasses later. Your sibling finished up the last cup of Ice Cream that you planned to enjoy on a Saturday evening with your favorite show on TV! How you reacted? Of course, either you complained your mom\/dad and then got one ice-cream or you were scolded with a lecture, \u201cso what, he\/she is your sibling after all!\u201d<\/p>\n

In both ways, you had to learn \u201chow to let go\u201d. In a larger sense, you understood that everything and everyone in life have a certain fate and choice. And that\u2019s why it\u2019s better to let go off in proper time and wave to the future.<\/p>\n

Ferns N Petals wishes you all a very Happy Raksha Bandhan in Advance. Don\u2019t forget to #ThankYourSIbling this time with our impressive rakhis, chocolates, cakes, sweets, dry fruits, grooming kit, perfumes, plants, accessories, and personalized gifts for rakhi<\/a> products.<\/p>\n
