Change

Bro is leaving tonight.
But I don't think I'll go to the airport to see him off.
I don't like saying goodbyes...am bad at them...

Today is the last day I'll be seeing him at home after office
It is feeling strange.
A certain emptiness has crept in.

And a pang of guilt.
In recent months I have been so involved with myself..I don't think I have given the best I could ...


When I wonder what is it that is choking me from inside..what is it that is making me so uncomfortable... other than the evident feeling that the shoulder I could lean on and cry everytime I needed to..and everytime I didn't -will be miles away from me.

I will remember everything about him so fondly...

His inventing lyrics while singing Hindi film songs and if I pointed it out , his reasoning with me.."It's Remix Sis!!"
His literally pulling my legs if I talked to someone for more than 10 mins over the phone...asking me to hang up and talk to him instead.

His guarding me like I were the most precious jewel on earth...

His strange ways of showing that he cared.

Sharing that last ice cream cone in summer...
Watching crappy movies with friends..and laughing for having wasted time and money.

His explaining Quantitative Aptitude fundas..my taking his vocab tests before his GRE

I know these days are never gonna be back..

i remember.. even my sis would take up my vocab before my GRE. (shje actually leanred more words than i did!!)

days in the past are just that. many more wonderful days will approach u in the future. its just great that u have such a wonderful past to look back to and smile at.

so cheer up.. am sure, like i said earlier, he misses his little sis like crazy too... what good elder brother wont!

Change is the only constant in life. Why not to embrace it and look for the best?
I wish ur bro continues to remain as near to as he was earlier.

It's always bad when someone so dear and close leave us but at the same it's also necessary for their growth too...
