Yesterday was an unproductive day for me.I had a lot of works to do and was not feeling well due to inadequate sleep the previous night.Still I tried to interact as much as possible,although it was not enough to make any difference to my previous day's earning.
Today is 'Rakshabandhan.'The festival of love between brother and sister.My office is closed.Let me see how much I can interact here.Guests may come,and if and when they come,I would have to leave Mylot and attend them.
Let me,therefore, begin with starting a discussion today.I will keep joining you every time I am free.
My sisters are waiting for me.They have to tie the 'Rakhi' [ the holy thread ] on my wrist.Today is a day for brothers and sisters only.Let me enjoy it with my sisters, please.
And a very happy,blessed 'Rakshabandhan' to all my dear
friends here who celebrate the festival.

@kiran,yes,they had a lot of sweets for me.I took only two pieces of 'barphi' and a couple of rosogollas.I gifted both of them smartphones that I have bought with my savings for the festival.But I am surprised to know that rakshabandhan is not celebrated in south.Here I have a lot of friends from Tamilnadu,Andhrapradesh,Karnatak and Keral,and they all celebrate the festival here.Their families have settled here for decades.
Wish you a very happy rakshabandhan,sister.
I have a feeling that people living in the north automatically start following some of the traditions that is practiced there which is good....I am sure your sisters were very happy with their gifts !
