My brother is the best! friend of mine. Though i do not share lot of things with him i have learnt a lot from him. He always wanted everybody with him at all times. I should thank him for finding me the perfect match (my husband). Though he is younger he always advices me like an elder.

my another Jagan was studying B.E. C.S. and and he used to say that "PARTNER IN WINNINGS" as i always support him and guide him in all extra curricular activities in engineering college and as i m good with dancing and craft making he will get support from me in cultural events for steps in stage dances and also won first place in science expo on state level as i m microbiology he is C.S both we worked and developed one hand made product with bioinformatics . in that only he won. This "Partner in Winning" term was used by him on stage when he won in science expo prize receiving time as chief guest asked who is your motivator. He even wrote this in satin cloth and tied in my hand like band on that night. he was more expressive and that moment i felt as i won state level prize in that expo. it was the best and great compliment still i have. I will say the relationship is only help in trouble and not give us any trouble it may be friend, lover or brother so on. feeling lucky to be sister for my brother

I don`t want to win this contest I just want to tribute to my only brother who left us and went to almighty but he still living in our hearts.Now I feel like a witness of festival of Rakhi to watch how people celebrate this day.But I never wet my eyes in this day,I salute to my parents who lost their young,energetic son and still never expect any kind of sympathy from society.I love my brother very much & pray to god he will live in the lap of God.Happy Rakhsa bandhan to all of u.
May your brothers live long & healthy life & love those sisters who don`t have brother.
