Raksha Bandhan · 2026
For Rohan,my partner in crime
Teddy has prepared a little ceremony. It starts with one thread.
The pooja thali
Teddy prepared everything.
Diya lit. Roli ready. The sweets are hidden from you, obviously.
Every thali carries a shagun envelope. Remember it — it comes back later.
Before the knot
Earn it first.
Teddy is holding the rakhi hostage. Three questions. Answer honestly — he can tell.
Question 1 of 3
What do you steal off my plate first?
Question 1 of 3. Answer all three to continue.
The ritual
Hold still, Rohan.
One knot. It only takes a moment, and it lasts a year — at minimum.
Tilak & aarti
Rakhi’s tied. Now the blessing.
Face the screen and sit still. She has lifted the thali — this aarti is for you.
Our memory garland
Hung on the same thread.

Photo 3Partners in crime
The ones who knew you before you were cool. Which is to say — still waiting.
Growing together
Same story,new chapters.
- Chocolate thief
- Most annoying sibling
- Always protects me
Photo 4Our funniest fight
The remote. Obviously the remote.
Photo 5The day we became best friends
Somewhere between fight #400 and #401.
Photo 6A moment I’ll never forget
You know the one. We don’t talk about it.
The shagun
As tradition demands.
The envelope from the thali. It’s yours now. Go on.
The thread never breaks
No matter where life takes us, this thread finds its way back.
— Your sister, always
