Your sibling has probably annoyed you in more ways than you can count. They took the bigger piece, blamed you when something broke, walked into your room without knocking and somehow still became the person you call first when you have news.Growing up changes the equation. You stop fighting over the TV remote and start fighting over restaurant recommendations. You live in different parts of the city, have separate routines and may not see each other as often. But put the two of you at the same table and the old dynamic comes back surprisingly fast.That’s what this Raksha Bandhan is about. Good food, a little competitiveness, old favourites and plans that give you an excuse to spend the day together. Go back to the places you remember from childhood, find a game that brings out your competitive side, bring the whole family for a big meal, meet over cake or finally take your sibling somewhere fancy.Because sometimes the easiest way to celebrate your sibling is to ask the most important question: “So, where are we eating?”
