'A Letter On The Eve of Marriage'

Dear Sister,

This is where we stand today. On the eve of your marriage, I'm writing down this letter to you that capture my feelings and emotions on the blank paper. Today, I feel that if I would have told you and talked to you about this earlier being a kid, the thought of you leaving me behind and entering a new house wouldn't have bothered me much. Maybe I wasn't ready to accept the fact that sisters do go away. They have to start a new innings in their life. Just few hours left and I have started thinking about you dressed up in the bridal gown. And trust me it blows away my mind and takes out my soul out of the body.
You and I, don't share the blood relation but somewhere you must know that how much I love you. From strangers to friends, friends to best friends and then accepting each other as siblings we both have grown up. Time has flown with godspeed. Ever since we know each other, our love has only multiplied. Yes, we've shared our life's secrets with each other. Glad that we chose to be back bone for each other. And present, as always, in the tough time that made us fall down as individuals.
Despite our fights and verbal arguments, as you know, we saw ourself standing for each other. That evening while sitting in front of you & taking the sip of the cold coffee, I realised that I was wrong. And please don't take it as a complaint. That evening I realised that a sister has to turn into a woman one day. And that very moment, my heart cried. Though I didn't show off, but you could have realised seeing my eyes. And my heart always will!! The tears will see themselves getting wiped with the cushion at night. I wish if I could have taken away something from your room without seeking your permission. And holding my ears you say, 'one day all would be yours'. And I with watery eyes would have returned the stolen item back to you. Imagine the next morning, I getting up from my bed and entering your room and trying to wake you up and all of a sudden realise that you left the home last evening. And I leave your room as it is.

Regards
Your Brother

    Dear Pushkin ,

    As i continued reading , could not stop emotions coming out from my eyes ,the way you have expressed the bond of two friends who were like sisters from diff mothers , made me remind of my childhood friends who has always stood by my side and supported , she made me feel how the sister love is , as i dont have any sister , but her presence never made me miss this part.

    Its been said that emotions can only be expressed but you are so good to pen down them in words .

    Keep writing
    Regards

New Comer In The City

I left home right after class 12 to pursue my graduation and then my profession. 16 August, 2013 I entered the city of millionaires, Gurgaon. As a kid of a small town from Haryana, I was surprised by the fast paced life of the city people. Those expensive vehicles, the huge mansions and the luxurious streets. What do I do in a city that's completely unknown to me!! A city where I stood at one side of that concrete road and saw the glamour on the opposite side. I understood, the life of a common person is not easy, and in the years it was proven right. Where do I go? Whom do I talk to? Whom do I call my friend?  The situation was like a kid who has entered the hostel for the first time. A complete stranger in the city. Were strangers really a danger? Well, how do you get that tag of a stranger removed if you really want to befriend someone?? Simple - Go and talk. And that I was afraid to do. 'Some great relations in life start with that first word being exchanged more precisel...

'To Her Next Best Friend'

"You may have a large bunch of people around you. You may also have a huge friend circle and not willing to add more names to that. But you will fall for her friendship. It's inevitable. That energy which flows out when she speaks. The spark spark in her eyes and the way they crunch when she smiles and laughs, the way her eyes get rolled up when something dorky is said, the way she reacts when she is down and sad; every single thing of hers will force you to be-friend her. You should know that her eyes light up when she talks about moon and space, you need to calm her down when she's excited or else she will end up apologizing!! You should know that she hates being called liar too. Make sure you make her feel her presence. Make sure you always meet after certain time gap. Promise me you will never complain about her to her of not sticking to her promises. Or else tears will roll out from her eyes. She has always been there for her best friend and I assure you her presence...
