Movement for the abolition of non-sibling Raksha Bandhan

At the very outset I'm making a bold assumption that Raksha Bandhan is the time for brothers to reassure protection for their sisters. And that the rakhi-for chocolate deal is merely ceremonial. And those words 'Happy Rakhi' are like the name card on a gift wrapped: they say just enough.

Is it really so difficult to understand the meaning of the word brother? You see, because over here, I am openly taking after the 'sister's'. Why, in heaven's name, would a girl want to 'make' a brother? If she already has one, good for her! Else sorry, but the chromosomes just didn't make it there! Now, is it humanly acceptable that a girl wants protection (protection from what? Gorillas? or Joey?)and since she doesn't have a brother, she be-brothers a guy for protection's sake? HELL, NO!

Here's a secret, ladies: Guys don't want to have sexy 'sisters'. It's too big a risk to take. And besides, they are thrown right out of the competition (that starts at age 11 and goes on till a 111). The last, and I mean the absolutely last thing that a guy wants to hear from a girl who is not his sister are those very dreaded words : 'Happy Rakhi'.

But just in case, men, if you happen to become an unfortunate victim of the R-disease, here's how you diffuse the situation. When a girl says those words, with no further delay, laugh out loudly. Really really loud. And make her look stupid. Really really stupid. And walk away from there with this parting remark - "You know what, I like to keep my options open."

Please join me in making this operation successful. If this is a cause that you believe in and want to make it work for the benefit of those coming after us, mail me mentioning 'With you' in the subject line. Once sufficient numbers are made, a proposal will be sent to the cabinet for consideration of removal of this social menace; for the abolition of non-sibling Raksha Bandhan.

General Knowledge for the readers..

The writer has no girlfriends.
The writer has no sister(s).
(thats why he soesn't know )

वो लंबी सी चोटी
वो गीली सी मेहंदी
वो ग़लती छुपाना और सबसे बचाना
वो बहन के हाथों की कच्ची सी रोटी
मजबूरी में खाकर भी तारीफें बांधना
वो गुड़िया, खिलौने, वो पालना झुलाना
वो भैया-भैया कह के बुलाना

and lots of things like that.....
even movement for the abolition fo non-sibling raksha bandha cann't be justifeid.....
Coz if a girl think of you as a brother ..... Then whether you keep your options open or even multiply them with a billoin, its useless.

im "With You"

Dats a good take on those non- sibling MeAn GiRlS who protect themselves from vulnerable guys by tying a good old thread called rakhi which according to them changes the whole outlook of the relationship they had b4.....this is the REAL PROECTION they need!!

Based on a True Story....

Poor guy might hav had a crush on one chick and waiting for the right moment to confess......and the next day a thread lands on his hand from his crush... like the nail on christ's hand while he was crucified..(really painful)

.... and He smiles(like Jesus on the cross asking for forgiveness to those who hav sinned) with a confused mind and no words come out...wat will he say....if he confesses his feelings at dat moment it would be awkward... he might loose her frndship...

...oh boy...after dat he has to forget everything!! He has to hang out with dat chick for days to come..with a confused mind and guilt...this is really SICK!!


....and u know wat...the whole time the girl might have known dat the guy had feelings for her and she wasnt just interested in him.....it was just a precautionary measure(loophole) permitted by good old indian tradition...dat saves the girl of having a tete-a-tete with the guy abt their relationship and the dire consequences....

After this thread ritual day the girl forgets abt the whole hoopla and carries on...addresses him intentionally with that dreaded word "Brother" whenever the guy gets closer...

but the guy carries the burden on and on...till he goes nuts...gets addicted to booze and smoke....not able to pour out his feelings to her nor to the world....His heart fumes with pain....misery....

This continues till he gets over her and a new chick comes in his life.....

Moral of the Story:
#1 Never show ur face to ur crush when Raksha Bandhan hoopla happens!

#2 If #1 fails then try wat the author of this article said...laugh out louder and make her feel real REAL stupid

#3 Abolish Non Sibling Rakhi



Mr.Hari Om i beg to differ....take it rationally...no emotions needed...its just Non sibling Rakhi we r against...

I nearly fell off my chair laughing..still cant stop..was really an interestin read.. and ur advice.. lolz.. cute! this is actually a really sad finding..if true!!.. m sorry for the guy tht ur fren 'nitz' mentions... but the moral of the story is ' to be communicative'.. firstly m sure the grl didnt kno for fact that the guy had a crush on her.. and even if she knw (frm the gestures or wht ever) serves her right to do so, she was smart.. she made her move before he did.. cant blame her for being smart..lolz.. the guy if had expressed his feelings for her m sure she would not have bought a rakhi for him.. i mean common if u like some one u tell that person u do.. and still if the other person gets u a rakhi well u kno she not worth it and u dont deserve the mean grl.. But yes i empathize the guy.. but he should have been smarter than her..
