Well this one's after a LONG time!
In India, it's Rakhsha Bandhan today and
tomorrow. Although it's been years since I actually tied the thread on Bunny
bhaiya's wrist, I miss him today. I miss all of it.
Yesterday, when I went shopping with my
girl-friends, they were all bubbling up with excitement about the big day. The
lovely red-pink threads, some with beads and some with angry birds, were
calling out to me.
Add to that, suddenly EVERYONE has a brother-sister
profile pic on fb. Even the radio stations are giving away presents for your
siblings rather than couple tickets for the latest movie!

Of course I could never go overboard as the other
girls... I mean if he were here, we would be comfortably asleep before mom
scolded us and pushed us into bathroom so that at-least today we lazy-heads do
something productive.
We would bathe and dress our regular (only
well-ironed) clothes, I would tie a knot on his wrist that would untie just the
next second and he would only want the cylindrical shaped gulab-jamuns. Other
than that, we would pretty much end up living the day as everyday.
Whereas today, I woke up early and walked down
to the post-office (not to post some last minute rakhi, but a hastily filled
application to a college).
Our hostel mess served ♥custard♥ and little dal-samosas in the lunch. For dinner,
they prepared ♥♥kheer♥♥.
I was entertained by ☺☺☺Chandler Bing☺☺☺
for 6 hours straight.
I even called a surprised nani-ma (who
thinks I never call because I have forgotten them, although it's more related
to call rates and the fact that I'm kanjoos) and my baby cousin Ananya (who really was
more interested in watching Doraemon than answering the call, but I LOVE that
naughty lil' angel so much!!)
There's only 1 guy whom I could miss so much as
not to appreciate ALL these blisses: BUNNY BHAIYA.
P.S.: Just send me a $dollar$ present soon!
