Lil one!

P.s. – I write this to you because tonight, I want to feel wise and old!

My wish for you : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhrCc8VCHns

Dear brother,

“Destiny is not destined. You decide your destination. Work. Sweat. Struggle. Give all it takes. ”

-          Cheryl Jadav (Wanna-be-writer)

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.

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.
