May you always serve and care for our parents, uphold the dignity of our family, ensure the well-being of your wife, protect your children, and always remain content and happy in life. My dear brother, I always wish to see you healthy and prosperous. To me, you are a reflection of our parents. May I always receive your love, care and protection. My heartfelt wishes to all brothers and sisters on this very special festival. Heartiest wishes on Raksha Bandhan).”
