Shashank Vyas (Balika Vadhu s Jagya)

My sister Shrashti's birthday is on 30th August and Rakhi is on 29th. I am still contemplating the gift to give her. Most probably I would send her cash so she can buy whatever she wishes to as per her own choice. The bond is very strong. She is elder to me but we are always there for each other. I have a "Take it easy" approach towards our bond. She always tells me don't react but respond after thinking. Relationships of blood are always strong. The memories of time spent together I cherish always. Each year gifting her something is a ritual and it gives me immense pleasure to see her happy after receiving the gift.

My sister Noamita is based in Delhi and she is elder to me. Since 23 years I am in Mumbai but three years back I got to be with her on Rakhi. Everyone bonded and it was a family reunion kind of thing. My elder brother was very close to her after my brother's demise ten years back I tried to fill in his shoes. She has bought a new home. I intend to gift her furnishing for the entire house as per her taste. This house has been her dream. We are at that stage of life where we are guide and support to each other. Because of professional commitment I can't go to Delhi to be with her. I will talk to her on phone. We both have grown up together and we have grown.

Stay tuned to ET for more updates.
