Shoe laces...

Today is a very important and emotional festival, "Raksha Bandhan" means a tie for safety and protection. Brothers takes responsibility to take care of their sisters (need not be a blood relation).
This festival is celebrated across all religions, a girl ties a silk thread knot around the wrist of the boy to get into this pious and wonderful relationship as brother and sister... Exchange of gifts and sweets makes this festival memorable...
I was in train returning after celebrating the festival which is very closest to my heart. And this person was selling shoe laces in the train....
Some synthetic strings going over shoes to provide protections to the feet....tied every day.. Some similarity but without emotions...
