Couldn’t hold back the tears (well certain circumstantial botch-up didn’t help) as I wished my sis all the best for the new life that awaits her...didn’t feel like coming back home afterwards...all day my mind kept drifting to distant memories...the closeness we shared...then the distance that came between us for a couple of years (I feel so stupid now...2 years wasted needlessly)...finally overcoming it again...the chit chat at 4 in the morning on the balcony...the fights - some silly ones like the ones over TV...others more serious...all the rakhis...this year was the first one I missed(what am I running after?)...this post can go on forever...
I know I ll get over it...but home will never be the same again...:(
Almost 4 yrs since I last cried...I guess I ll just have to start working on my record again :)
A nice anecdote to lighten up the post...after the end of all the melodrama...our driver - a 6 ft tall Haryanvi jat, never shy to shove anyone getting in his way - is found squirming, wiping his eyes with a tissue paper...now who can explain how our minds work??? Please raise your hands!
I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is more greener on the other side

Have also figured out why people break down on such occasions...its the sheer mental and physical effort spent...doesn't take much to get tipped over the edge after that....Hmmm!

I sure wish they wouldnt play that 'babul' tune at the end of every wedding. Its awful. I cry always.
"I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned" Good words...
That was a very touching post Sid. Nowhere in this world can we find emotions so rich as we find in India. I hope you have forgiven yourself for all the little fights:-) I guess that is an inevitable part of a sibling relationship. What fun it would be if there weren't any? But I guess it seemed like you have learnt to cherish the relationship that you have with your sister and maybe appreciate it even more. After all what else is really there is in this world except for the love of and for the family...
Congratulations on the sister's wedding!
@ Neha : Hopefully i ll better that..:)
@ susubala : its from a song..."affirmation"
@ vini : No such tune was played...lol
@ Sinusoidally : Hey thanx...will be congratulating you shortly ;)
Crying really does more good than harm really...and all the better when theres a friendly shoulder to do the same...
Am back in town dearie....
Came here through Sine's blog. Read this post and it made me want to cry. For family and loved ones back home. made me relive that moment when I left my home to go to my "sasural".
And who says crying is bad or sissy.....I think it is the best healer.
