This was an essay I had written for a friends little daughter for her school competition last year. Thought Rakhi is an apt time to put it up on my page too. To the lovely bond between brothers and sisters! :)
Hi Brother,
Don’t get surprised on receiving this email. You know your sister better than that. It seems like I met you a year or back so… whereas it not even 40 hours since we parted.
Somehow, different time zones, different countries .. The time I left on is doing that to me.
I still don’t believe how stupid the travel agent could be by mixing up the dates of my departure.. Causing me to miss Rakhi.
Suddenly, all the years of our growing up & togetherness is hitting me. You remember the times when we used to be our back up for each other in tuition? Or when with that modest pocket money we used to buy b’day gifts for each other…or...the time when....oh well, there are just so many times to remember between us!
London’s cold climate makes me feel even more cold & makes me want to run back to India.. I don’t know why females need to go away from the people that they love the most.. Fathers, mothers, brothers, etc….Maybe the jet lag is making me sound more sad so. But I can’t help regretting I had to part from u just 3 days before Rakhi.
Am I sounding like a sad record form the sad songs that you absolutely hate on my iPod? You better not say that..coz tomorrow when I call you India time for Rakhi, I better see a somber mood on you. & yes, that means I hope you have fixed up the web cam, so that I can See you as well!!
I know if I write any further this letter will definitely go unread. So, before you get any such thought, I’ll say bye.. & you do know how much I miss you brother!
Love & lots of best wishes forever,
Your Sis.
