SOMUUUU.... :)

YOU CAN KID THE WORLD, BUT NOT YOUR SISTER.

She is your mirror, shining back at you with a world of possibilities. She is your witness, who sees you at your worst and best, and loves you anyway. She is your partner in crime, your midnight companion, someone who knows when you are smiling, even in the dark. She is your teacher, your defense counsel, your mediator, even your analyst. Some days, she's the reason you wish you were an only child! But most of the time she’s the only one who you see and your mind says “Wish we could be kids again!”

This one is for my Confidant, my li’l sis… Somya… J

I would like to thank you for giving me the most cherished flashes of my life…

The sharing of clothes, dancing in the rain, the way you used to cry when mamma used to beat me up, those days when we returned from school and I used to spend all my money to treat you both, the way we went for coaching and begged Jai Shankar Bahia to stop the FIAT far from the class!...

Those times when we used to go mad laughing at the, “maiya is mary and jesus is ram jokes!!” the way mamma threatened us with, “ I will tell to FATHER” The way bhai used to request you to ask papa in English to allow us to go out! The way you used to make your maggi and dr was more of the soup than the noodles!!... hahaha that was so sweet… J

Those times when we both used to lie down on the back seat of the car and pretend to sleep so that we could be carried inside! The way Ambesh used to cry for us before we went back to the boarding. The times when we were pissed to hear from papa that “Betu you have just one sister and one brother in this world” and today I realize that yes indeed I have JUST one sister and I am glad I have you…

There is ample to write about and so much to say…

We have grown so big, times have changed and so have we but what bonds us together are those blissful days of our childhood which no matter what will be etched clearly in our hearts and will always be the ONLY common thing we have!

“You keep your past by having sisters. As you get older, they're the only ones who don't get bored if you talk about your memories.”
