(Sitting in my cousin’s room one day before mybratabandha)
Tomorrow is my bratabandha. I feel so anxious about it. It feels like I am starting a new chapter in my life. In the following days, I will have to maintain a lot of self-discipline. I will be accountable for many responsibilities too. But I am excited for all the blessings and money that I will get.
In other words, I’m also worried about having to wake up early in the morning to bath. Since, I’m going to do it along with my cousin, I won’t be nervous about doing the pooja.
Besides, I will also have to follow many daily rituals and pray everyday. Even though it seems difficult I will abide by it as it is my culture and tradition.
And oh, I will have to wear a janai across my upper body.
