The sibling bond!



Day 25..#100happydays #100daysofhappiness

Symbolic days are so much easier to express, cause you have a subject and you just let your heart pour. Today is Rakhi / Raksha Bandhan and on this day I want to string my words for all those brother like figures in my life who have made a difference at some point or the other. At this juncture, we all may be too busy to reconnect or relive old memories, but its never too late to be grateful. Don't you think?

Incidentally some brothers are formed by blood relatives and some by gestures and emotional relevance. Thankfully  I have both. I definitely dont tie a Rakhi every year to everyone in this picture, but I always wish all these people the very best and I know that any time I reach out, I will have at least one of them by my side. You might wonder how am I so sure. I say this with so much confidence as I have experienced it on a very strong instance when all of them came together to my rescue, not once, but several times. They will know what I am referring to, but what makes it so blessed is, that such episodes are never really discussed in casual talk. They are not the types who would emotionally sit in front of you and promise you the world or give that 'filmy' speech, but their intent and heart is reflected in their actions. So isn't that much better?

So here goes to all of you..with love today and always.. may our kids always learn the value of true brothers from you all.

Ps: For such a tribute, I will always welcome a lovely gift from each of you, and today you will not be able to get away with hugs and kisses:)

The forever friend!

Day 58.. ‪#‎ 100daysofhappiness‬   ‪#‎ 100happydays‬ This one was long overdue..in fact from feb onwards, but am not sure why I delayed such a valuable post. She is my forever friend, cause I have actually known her for almost forever -  Suhasini Ranganathan  whom I fondly call Su. She expresses with such warmth, she cares with an open heart, she trusts like no other and helps in any way possible. We have grown through our awkward years and built magical memories in the most simple  activities and moments. She cherishes the time gone by and always is by our side. She is the brightest I have known (with a report I still dream of) and yet appears in such simple modesty. She is the KPMG star, whose dedication is unquestionable. She is the perfect host and welcomes with such an open heart. She laughs in joy and holds dignity when laughed at. This badminton champion is a selfless Pisces woman who is true to her zodiac - creative, positive and intuitive with people...

Day 93.. #100daysofhappiness #100happydays Tears were flowing uncontrollably and I almost thought that I would bawl. People around me were choking on emotion and I was sure that everyone was grateful it was dark and no one was visible. It was not just tears, but smiles too. It was not the filmy bollywood entertainment from any angle, but had a story that had to be told. Thankfully, it was a story that was narrated in perfection, had the impact that it deserved and left the audience, heart broken and motivated all in those couple of hours. While it inspired many even for a couple of seconds, it was a meaningful cinematic experience and a biopic that is lasting. My 100 days has tributes of people or experiences that are meaningful in my lifetime, so this definitely fits the criteria... a true story from my lifetime, when I was 6 years old. So here’s to Neerja – the brave heart who ruled hearts in silence. This true story took place in 1986. At that time, I definitely have...
