Rakshabandhan

Today is Rakshabandhan(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raksha_Bandhan). I have a little less than half dozen sisters. Its the first time in life that I don't have any of the sister with me since I am in USA :( . I received a couple of rakhis by post. The problem is I have to tie it on my hand by myself. Today I realized how difficult it is to tie a thread with one hand. In fact its impossible. So I told my friend to tie around my hand. In future I expect to see a rakhi which has button or Velcro. Then I would be able to to do it myself. I am missing that hand full of rakhis.......
