hello brothers,

i feel really blessed to have you two as my brothers. You both are just amazing.

To first brother,

 hey ,

you are the best . though you teases me calling me shorty , I love you. it's mom's mistake that you grew 5.7 feet. what's my mistake? I remember how you cooked for me when mom and dad are away . you always take care of me . You makes fun out of every situation. I really likes that quality of you. you just take positive out of every thing.

Also, thanks to you and the other one, I never got any proposals from any guy.

I am missing you a lot as you are in Bangalore and comes only on weekends. you are my main sponsor . stay healthy and come back to chennai soon.

staying late night watching movies, sports with you are really fascinating. you tried to teach me physics but never succeeded.

I wonder how you did well in that as i fell asleep as soon as I starts reading it. I still remember how you ran behind that old paper buying guy to get your book back only to find out that i fooled you on April 1st.

You are such a happy guy. you are so, so easy to love, with your kind eyes and gentle heart.And I hope this happiness remains as life goes on through all the firsts and milestones and the fulfillment of your calling. There are many many choices in life to make and I pray you make all the right choices you possibly can.

now  the other one,

You’ve always been the one who’s put me in my place when need to be. You’ve always been the one who’s made me smile when I’m frustrated. You’ve always been the one who’s made me feel confident, safe, and never alone.

You are the one who often fights with me while watching cricket by taking sides. watching match without you is boring. then remember our bet for world cup. Cup will stay in Australia. You will lose but I will be more than happy if proven wrong. as for the slogan" we won't give it back" , my reply is " We will get it back".

Now a days , you are too busy with your studies. I can understand you are in fourth year and need good grades, but please bro, for me live a little for yourself too.

I guess I never really told you how much I admire you, how much I wish I was more like you. We came from the same gene pool, the same family, the same town, the same schools,  everything the same. But I always saw a confidence and strength in you that I didn’t
recognize in myself. Where did you get that?

When I thought about where I was going to be in five or 10 years, I could never picture it -my mind would be blank. But with you , I know you will be on your way of accomplishing your dream.

You know everything about me. you have been more a friend than a brother. love you bro.

Dear akka,

you are the most amazing and annoying person I ever met . You are an ideal example of how a daughter should be which i am clearly not. I love your innocence. I still remember how bro scold me for going out to a movie without informing anyone. but you defended me believing my lie that I went to special class. what was funny even when I accepted that i went for a movie , you didn't relent.

Then you helped with my biology records and computer science records staying late night to finish it. also I will never forgot your 25th birthday celebrations. for the first time, I stole money from you and bought gifts and cake for you. brothers knew this and they were laughing all the while.

when you asked them, they even told you that. while you are chasing me , mom came with a 100 rupee note and said " it was there in your purse". We all laughed for all you had was ten 10 rupees notes and she showed a 100 rupee note. then, you forgot about me and started to tease mom for blindly supporting me.

the year you got married was inexplicably strange. If we’re being honest, I am not scared; I was terrified. I don’t know what to expect without you here. I don’t know who I will turn to when I need help. I don’t know who to annoy when I’m bored. I don’t know who to look for guidance. But somehow I managed.

Though you left to your husband's house after marriage, you still calls me everyday and comes to visit us every month. I love you akka. and your son Tamilselvan is so cute and i am really happy to be his chithi. whenever i plays with him, i just forgot everything around me. I know you will be a good mom.

I’ve checked the room we stayed many times since you left. I walk in, look around, realize the nothingness, choke down tears, and walk out. I have adjusted to a life without you, despite not wanting to. But I will never forget the amazing times we’ve spent together. I will never stop loving you.

 You will always be in my heart, my mind, and my prayers.

To all of you,

Growing up with siblings builds a special bond full of inside jokes and humor. I am glad that every time we get together we can laugh about jokes from when we were younger and still keep each other laughing like silly immature kids.

I am happy, proud, and thankful to call you all   my beloved siblings.

Your loving sister

KS
