Anjali Joshi, an IT professional working for a company in Tathawade is at her home in Amravati, and because everything is online, the rakhi will be a virtual meet on Google Meet between all cousins.
“We are all meeting a day before on google meet remembering all the good memories when we met in reality, but the feeling of meeting in real is missing this year. We never miss this and yet we are feeling very far away,” she said.
Ravi Oswal, a merchant in Aundh usually has his sister who lives on Shankar sheth road come to his home to tie a Rakhi, but due to Covid-19, she has couriered the Rakhi and sweets this year.
“My daughter will tie me the rakhi tomorrow and we will speak over the video call. We all have to take precautions and use new methods to celebrate functions like this,” Oswal said.
Akhilesh Singh, a resident of NIBM usually waits for this day because it is time for a family get together, however, this year due to the ongoing pandemic, his family has opted for a group video call.
“Our family is spread over Pune, Mumbai, Jaipur, Melbourne Seattle, Dublin and all sisters have couriered their rakhis and sweets like chocolates and Indian sweets. Earlier, we used to meet up in Mumbai, now we have arranged a Zoom rakhi meet with virtual rakhi, songs, and mithai. We have created videos of earlier year’s get together to be played followed by online games,” said Akhilesh.
