An Ode to Brotherhood

Hello people!!! Belated friendship day wishes!!!!! Hugggggggzzzz!!! How's it going??? I had a wonderful flight back to S'pore. Just beginning to get settled and going around meeting friends. So thats about it here. I was just waiting to embark on my next post and here it is!!!


With Raksha Bhandhan(a day when sisters tie raakhi, a thread that symbolises the relationship they share, to brothers) closing in, i just cant miss talking about it. In school, it used to be that time of the year when most guys would fear girls!!! Corridors would be so forlorn with guys missing. No laughter, no teas
ing, no mischievous stares, no ramp walks on corridors. When break is announced, guys would simply abscond!!! It used to be so much fun to watch some guys run helter-skelter. But this day is something i really look forward to. Its a day, when i can really show my cousins how much they mean to me. Being a single child myself, has not been so tough since i have loads of cousins and i guess this single trouble is enough for dad and mom :)




However, I used to wish that i have an elder brother. I have just picked the words from one of the favourite posts i scribbled few months ago. It portrays my version of a big brother, i would have loved to have -


"An elder brother with whom i could share everything that i had in my heart... who would drop me in class in his "super bike"... i would sit proudly behind him thinking "My brother is the fastest and best bike rider in this world"... with whom i would roll on the bed, pinch hard on his tummy, fight until i lost all the energy in me... then shamelessly wait until he comes up to me and sweetly kisses me for which i would bite him hard... a brother who would hug me when i leave for my in-laws place one day... someone, who always would give me a hand to climb up.. who's shoulder is ever there to cry, who is always protective and who's love is undying...."


So, thats how i envisaged a dream brother. Anyways, now no regrets about what i dont have. Am really happy with the people i have now. Damn glad about it. Now, for you guys to answer - Share with me something you feel about your brother(if u have one) or else tell me if you have ever wished to have a brother and how would that dream person be.
Take care....Huggggzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!

Prithz I know u wud luv to have siblings...that was the first post I got to know u from. Rem that? :)

Anyways I wish for a bro too...cos my sis and I r not all that close..she's cool but way too different than I am. So sometimes we have stupid arguments that drives me crazy. Anyways.

Keshi.

KK said...

Prithz, Hows it going?
Well, During my college days though I had the fear of gals during raksha Bhandhan, something within me always said that no girl will tie rakhi to me. Luckily no one has tied a rakhi to me till now :)
Read your post about your wish to have a sibling, I never had such a feeling, may be because I had a sister. Though initially we never used to go along well, later she became my confident. She became my friend, philosopher and guide to the true meaning.

starry said...

Beautiful post . Happy friendship day to you. I have 4 big brothers and they are really nice.kinda spoil me even now.Always there to look out for me.I am glad you have many cousins who take the place of brothers.

Archun said...

hmm...insightful post...well I guess that having a sister myself, I never missed a brother, but seeing you put that into words, made me realize that - wow! I've got a great sister - hehe..thanks! One little thing though..I've personally never tied a rakhi ... that's the only reason I'd like to have a brother!

Story Teller said...

Has to be me said...

Harish said...

Sad creature that i dont have a younger Sis. Made up for thet with my friends. Still would have been nice if i had one :-(

Himavan said...

I myself is a brother to my wondeful younger sister. I dont know If there is anything called Ideal brother concept. Though in childhood we werent got along well, as a brother I would definitely stand by her all the times in joys and sorrows of her life. Do and bring things that I possibly can which makes her happy...:) Sister is a big part of my life...:)

Syam said...

so you are there in s'pore...hmmm nice write about the bro...sari illatha nenaichu yenna panrathu...anga irukara naalu guys ku raki katti avanga dreams ah destroy pannunga... :-)

BTW wonderful post! Oru mini-novel padicha 'peelingu' enakku!
Your narration is awesome. I have two brothers, both of them being elder to me. So, I too have a craving for a younger sister. Don't know why not younger brother!


And ur response was:


@ karthik b.s.:

Thanks for dropping by too karthik!

Young sisters are make cute siblings... so do young brothers too... elder brothers make a better choice... lucky u!!!


Hmm... Brothers-a pathi inna solradhu? Aana I have often longed for a younger sister. I would have been always in control of her! Do-this-and-do-that kind!:D

And regarding Raksha bandan, naan School a bunk pannadhe illa! But my friends used to do it.

Appurom Singapore eppadi irukku? Eppo college starting? Fine eh? You not singapore! :D

Priya said...

That was so sweet and a nice post for your brother. In our house, my brother was the spoiled brat and we sisters let go for few things coz he needs to enjoy too.

Bharani said...
