An Auspicious day..in my Simple Life...THE CELEBRATION OF BHAI PHOTA..

According to Wikipedia Bhau-beej or Bhai-Dooj or Bhai-Phota is celebrated by the Hindus on the last day of the five day long Diwali festival...
   But to me, it is simply the, display of unconditonal love and care for her beloved brother and vice versa..The joy begins from early in the morning  when both of them dresses exquisitely in their new clothes ,bought by their parents.They then perform aarti for their  brother and apply red tika on their brother's forehead.

      SOME AMUSING TRIVIAS:-

  • If u see this Bhai Phota from an economic point of view,then there is financial gain from both sides.(may not be in equivalent proportions) Suppose,take my example,I have 3 sisters(cousins),and i have to spend a sum total of 400 bucks for them.In return ,i get REVOLUTION 2020 from them,the latest novel from Chetan Bhagat.So financially also, this celebration is important to brothers and sisters,where exchange of gifts take place.
  • It this during this festival only ,even a diabetic patient also,who have a sweet tooth,can fulfill his/her desire and no one can restrict him/her,as sweets form an integral part in this occasion.
