This year things will be different, unfortunately. There shall be virtual Rakhi celebrations, but I’m making it clear to all the brothers that e-commerce is still running up n strong, so I am still open to receiving gifts. #Throwback #Archive #QuarantinePost.” Take a look!

Most of the time, they stay indoors and would only go out for a walk, meet friends, or visit the Gurudwara or market place nearby.
