Connect with your brother over video call and perform all the rakhi rituals over the call. Bless him with your wishes and tie rakhi virtually. You can also send him online rakhi as courier services are functional.
Digital Gifts
As you can’t be with your siblings during the lockdown and can’t exchange the gifts physically, here is an amazing alternative. You can surprise your siblings with digital gifts like guitarist on call, singer on call, e-caricature, e-greeting card, personalised video message, etc. These digital gestures will surely light up the celebrations.
Binge Watch Netflix
Even if you and your brother are at home, you can’t go out to celebrate the festival with utmost joy but what you can do is binge watch Netflix at home with some snacks beside you two. Watch a great TV series and along the way, fight with your brother for the packet of snacks like you used to do in the childhood days. It will bring back some good memories.
Play Games at Home
Give some rest to your mobile and laptop devices and roll back to the good old days when you used to play carrom, LUDO, snake and ladders, and many more games with your siblings.
