Today my brother is 62! Our parents were rather organized with an exact gap of 3 years between the 3 of us! I had a great equation with my brother, we had fun together. I remember my dad giving each of us a rabbit in Coonoor with a pink ribbon on mine and a blue one on his , and lo behold! we had loads of them in a huge cage in the backyard. It was great fun seeing that family grow! I remember having great fun with our huge group of friends in Mathura. While throwing stones onto a tree, he got badly hurt and had to be rushed to hospital by our mom! He was expelled from his school in Mussoori for jumping the hostel wall....to go watch a movie! Totally pampered as the only son! He won LOADS of medals on passing out from school in Coonoor finally! In order to escape studying, he decided to join NDA, but landed up studying loads to become a civil engineer and thereafter do his masters in HR! Bad marriage and a tough life apart, he remains a gentleman always helpful to people around......but his distance with his sisters is strange and caused a redefining of relationships over the years. We fell apart when issues regarding my marriage came up. His affinity for my husband proved stronger than the 'blood is thicker' concept! We were totally apart when our sweet dad died. He did say, 'I am there for you' but the reality was otherwise for a long time to come! The thaw somewhat occurred but by then Satyarupa was born.....and another world took me over. But, we do, thankfully look out for each other, with our parents gone to another mysterious world and remembered for their goodness....that is another story! Nevertheless, he deserves happiness and value for all he does. He has a heart and soul that does all the rituals for his parents with total dedication, redemption for his often irritable behavior when they were around......but then one does not know the mystery behind each action of individuals.....cross factors impact our path and reason.....and the Big B, the Chitragupt within that makes a balance sheet and keeps a tally! I wish him great health and peace of mind.....and his sense of honor remain intact like a true Kshatriya and army officer which he had won accolades for in his career!
