And I know he is the best
For any kid their first friend or playmate is definitely their
sibling. A person’s childhood is not complete without a sibling. Well my first
friend and playmate is also my sibling: My elder brother. He is just one and
half year older than me but somehow I feel he has seen the world far better
than me. We have grown up together but I didn’t realize when he became the
advisor and perfectionist in the family. My mother believes that everything he
does is correct, dad proudly tells everyone about his academic results,
relatives and family friends tell their kids to be like my brother and of
course I proudly tell everyone how well he handles his life.
My brother and I are worlds apart. He is a maths genius and
yours truly can hardly survive doing maths for few hours. For him every penny
matters and for me every penny is easy to spend (I must say this habit has improved now). He enjoys sweating out the
calories while yours truly enjoy consuming those calories. I look forward to
sleep and laze at home while he looks forward to try out new activities.
Already 9 of his marathon medals are on the display at home while yours truly
is yet to run her first marathon. Well this list goes on: ) and yea I can never
be like him.
Well it’s true that time files and now it’s time for him to
leave us again. Twelve years back mom and I had to leave him in India and shift
to Singapore with Dad. Five years back he joined us and the bonding between us
has taken a new meaning. He was there to correct me when I went wrong; he
encouraged me when I did well in studies and work, he shared his interests and got
me motivated to take up some. He has guided the family and took care of us in
difficult times. He was the hero behind the scenes for my wedding. Everything
went perfectly under his care.
Didn’t realize how five years have passed with him. Now that
I am left with last few days before he shifts to US, I wish I can buy time so
that I can spend more memorable moments with him. I can’t imagine how the
family will manage without him. Mom told me that nothing is going to be the
same without him around and I agree with her. Definitely I will miss him badly
than I imagined. Never knew staying away
from a family member will be this difficult.
Every Raksha bandan festival is a memorable day with him and
I know I won’t have such memorable moments for the next two years atleast. I
dedicate this post to my lovely brother for this year’s Raksha bandan and I must
say he has done all his duties as a brother. :)
Yes people may have an elder brother but only I have a
brother like him :) Love you lots bhaiya. Stay happy always. Have fun in US and
explore the world. I will miss you badly. Time to use Skype to communicate!
One of my favourite picture with my brother.
