Raksha Bandhan is a festival that celebrates the special and pious bond shared by siblings. Significance of this festival lies in its name, which means ‘Bond of Protection’. It serves as a symbol of their love, togetherness, and confidence in each other. Similar is a bond that we share with our pets. The eternal connection that we share with animals is too deep to be described in words. They enrich our lives with joy, affection and humour, and are always there for us no matter what, just the way our siblings do! On the occasion of Rakhi, our Editor Priyanka Kaushal writes about this beautiful human-animal bonding and explains as to how they coexist while playing vital roles in each other’s lives.

Human-Animal Bonding

Nature is diverse and co-existence is the rule of nature. Humans are not its ‘only’ creation; there are numerous other creatures as well, such as animals, whom Mother Nature has given birth to. Like humans, they too deserve to live their lives to the fullest. Nature has instilled a peculiar instinct in both humans and animals, probably due to which they have shared a distinctive yet quirky connection from time immemorial.

Do We Adopt Them Or They Adopt Us?

I often wonder whether we adopt pets or they adopt us. I somehow got on to the conclusion that they adopt us. Yes! It might look as we are the ones adopting them, but in reality, they are the ones who accept us more than we do. They always put themselves in a place where anything they come across and whatever we throw at them, they will accept it happily.
