Celebrating Tradition in a Digital World

This Raksha Bandhan, I was reminded of the power of technology to bring us closer, even when we're miles apart. My brother, Aarav, and I have always shared a special bond, but with him in Silicon Valley and me in India, I wondered how we could keep our traditions alive.

Aarav, ever the innovator, surprised me with an app he developed called “RakhiBond.” Through it, I designed a digital rakhi that he received instantly on his smartwatch. The app’s AI even analyzed my emotions as I created it, delivering a personalized message that captured the depth of our connection. But the real magic happened when Aarav sent me a pair of VR glasses, allowing me to tie a virtual rakhi on his holographic wrist in a digital version of our childhood home.

This experience showed me that while distance might separate us, technology can bridge the gap, preserving and even enhancing the traditions that matter most. It’s a beautiful reminder that innovation isn’t just about the latest gadgets—it’s about finding new ways to stay connected to the people we love.
