New Delhi: What did you do with Rakhi tied on your wrist by a loving sister? Some of you can appreciate and maintain it forever, but most of you might throw it away in a few days.
What about Rakhi growing into a new life after Raksha Bandhan? While Kitschy Rakhis and cartoon bearings are always a hit, a number of sellers now promote environmentally friendly rakhis that spring life after their time on the wrist ends.
