Today is one of the most precious days of my life…. Yes! You
read it right…I met you today.....
I still remember all that
insecurity, all the hatred, I would say, I had for you. I was scared of losing
my lovely life…. losing all the attention…losing the importance and losing all
the love that mom has for me. Now I know, it was not me but the thoughts put by
people in 3rd STD kid’s mind. They had scared me of your arrival in
my life. They had portrayed you to be my competitor. And it was hard for me to
understand that it was just another joke. Life was just a nightmare those days…
and May 13th was the day when I was so lonely ….you had made “my”
mom get admitted to the hospital. I could not see her around. I was scared of
losing her for no reason…. I wanted to cry … I wanted to scream ... but no one would
pay heed to me, I knew. Everybody was busy to be ready to welcome you… And I was busy thinking
how I get rid of you….What do I do to get my mother back to me….
14th Noon…. Masi
came to me saying “Apla chota baal alay, gora gora paan….tappore dole…. Yetes
ka bhetayla? Chal na TAI….” TAI……Suddenly in a moment I was “The Elder”
child, the responsible,the caring sis… I hardly could understand though… All I wanted
to do was to meet my mom and hug her tight and get her back to me…
Hospital room … mom was tired, much
weaker than I saw her couple of days before…. But I was happy to see her… I was
happy to see the same love in her eyes. She held me for a while and just
pointed something….I reached on the other side of her bed in a li’l hesitation…
8 pound mass was looking at me with twinkling eyes…Magic happened I suppose....You changed me in a second….
Now you were mine…. I forgot all my negativity….
Ever since
I met you, Ever since I saw you… you have made me a better person every day. You
were the reason why I wanted to be the best… the role model for my sweet angel…
I wanted to be perfect so that you follow the correct path when you keep your
steps on the same footprints… (Yeah! yeah… I know I am not perfect… but I
really tried it every day till you copied all my styles)
You are the reason I learnt loving
someone so immensely and so selflessly. You are the reason why I would share
something even when I badly wanted the same thing. You are the only person
against whom I would enjoy all my defeats. You are the person who made me realize
fights are beautiful… You are the person who becomes my team when mom tries to
drop in to resolve the fights… You are the reason for spending hours doing
nothing and still making the time most memorable… you are the one with whom
coffee tastes like elixir….you are the one whom I feel responsible about… You
are the one who has seen and been together through all thick and thin… You are
the reason for discovering my strengths in disastrous times …. You are the
reason which increased my patience to a level…. You are the one whom I can
share anything with. I am not alone at any point of time for I know I can share
with you if not anybody else… You are the reason why I met some wonderful and
everlasting relations…. You are the one who can teach fashion to a person as
illiterate as me…. You are the one whom I look up to when it comes to emotional
detachment…. You set an example of detaching oneself,
for an emotional fools like me …You are the one who becomes “psychologist” or “philosopher” as Tai needs timely…. You are one of the reasons; I don’t need any other critic outside home.
Yes… You are reason for my anger
too… You are the reason for my concerns too… you are the reason for my worries
too… But more than that you are the reason for my smile… and moreover the precious
tears as well…. You are the only reason why mom becomes runner up and holds 2nd
position in my life…..Nothing can scare me more than the thought of losing you ….
Believe me… we all have gone through this thought and nothing … nothing on this
earth is as scary…. You are my strongest weakness…but the strength as well…..I can't be thankful enough to almighty and my parents.... for YOU are the best present they have ever gifted :)
Ever since I met you… life is not
just a walk to remember but a blessed journey to cherish all the time…. Happy
Birthday Darling…..
