Dear brother,

Today,
you’ve made me proud of WHO YOU ARE, WHAT YOU ARE and WHAT YOU HAVE BECOME.
Through
those soda-lime glasses with grandpa-black-frames, I see you as a magnanimous
prodigy. The stench that enters my nostrils when you open your cup-board makes
me see you as a pig. Those Skull Candy headphones and the Yamaha keyboard makes
me sure of the musician in you. When I hear about your grades, for sure, you
are a too-cool-geek. When you win those debates and compete with the best, I
know you are intellectually-high-without-dope!
I
was just five when you came and obtruded upon my world. You made me cleave, you
made me divvy. I was small, innocent and I sought attention too. You drew it
all towards you. A round chubby ball of love and bliss turned chafing. Those fights,
those capers – I am sorry for all those slaps and punches, I thank you for all
the beautiful memories. Today, I can’t imagine not having a sibling as fantabulous
as you. I MEANT IT.
No
more is our world all about eat-sleep-drink. As we peddle our boats into this
ocean of ‘perpetual change’, no more are we mother’s or father’s kid. Are
responsibilities a chip on the shoulder? I am not quite sure. Literally!
As you tread a new path, let me tell you, BE CAREFUL.
Do not lose yourself in this process of chasing dreams.
As you tread a new path, let me tell you, BE CAREFUL.
Do not lose yourself in this process of chasing dreams.
Though
bordered with diamonds and glory, this path too has mines. BE CAREFUL with each
step.
Let
go your badge but BE TRUE and IMPARTIAL. Let go your badge but not your TRUE
FRIENDS. Pride is a foe; RESPECT not
only the elders but those younger to you, those below you. Remember that little
naughty kid who brings immense joy to us. Remember that lady who took care of
you when you were young.
You
may fall but you will rise. You may cry but you have had laughter too. You might
be accused or blamed but remember, if you are right, things will fall in line. You
might get frustrated; take time to be at peace.
Who
am I to write this? Just a concerned individual who loves you immensely.
Truly,
Me.
Truly,
Me.
