'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

  1. 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

The Mother Asked for Gift - A Daughter

The mother asked nature to bless her with a daughter who'd  care. she said as cold as glacier adjustable as water the care taker the survivor the one who'd replicate her the one who'd hug on failure. my oldage, she said she would nurture the best of better during the heaviest thunder she'd provide the best shelter. a baby girl she wished for putting an end to the war to the God she said, I demand nothing more A wish to see before I sleep forever on the floor.

The Next Step

Expected & accepted The life lied And reality distracted Leaving protected Family directed. The plea Staying back rejected Starting new Scared too Stepping steps Other side of doorstep The world waited. I hesitated For the final seeing To start believing To live while dreaming To see twin changing The domicile. Wishes, Lucks, Greetings Maybe self failed to share The ongoing changes. The night most feared Bidding farewell While few smiled The world left behind CRIED - Pushkin Channan

Isn't That Weird

"Isn't it weird How can you go from being everything to nothing in the blink of ignored text messages. You can talk for months or even years, about everything & nothing. You can know more about each other than anyone has ever known before. And then one day One of us decides it is enough And then stop replying, And then stop trying, And it's just over. No words to break it off. No heartfelt goodbye's. Just a bunch of broken promises and the stories that will never find their endings. It's just cut off and we go on with our lives. AND NEVER BOTHERED TO LOOK BACK."
