To one of the very important lady in my life:

Dear shishter,

As the great Indian bondage festival of Rakshabandhan approached I eagerly waited for Rakhi from all my sisters. Anxiousness turned into disappointment when I received only one that too from Gunjan and I thought “sigh!!! A festival away from home and that too in this way?”. Anyways the day arrived and with half of the excitement already lost, I woke up early to attend the class of sales and distribution @ 8:30 am. By the time lecture got over the charm attached with tying Rakhi had almost vanished. After that gunjan called and asked about whether I have tied hers or not? With heavy heart I said “No”,” haven’t taken the bath yet but will tie soon”. She hanged up and I could feel her disbelief. I could see many hands around me with rainbow of colors. But mine was still that same grey and white. Lunch time passed and with half empty half full stomach I came back to my room. Already in bad mood I decided to have a short or ya may be long nap before the next class @ 5:30. Morning class itself is like the deadly sleeping pill. 5mins passed and I was almost about to enter the last stage of sleep from where it is impossible for anyone to bring me back, when suddenly one of my friend came shouting “Pandu!!!!!!! You have got a letter”. I almost woke up with the sudden burst of sounds. It seemed more like shock waves after a deadly missile. I took the letter and with heavy eyes read the address. Indeed it was for me only. Written with beautifully crafted alphabets, the name spelled “Arpit”. I wondered what it is? But soon I realized it was “Rakhi”. The weight of the letter told the whole story. I could have guessed earlier also but remember I was still half asleep. Who could it be? Is it Aditi? Awani? my cousin sisters or someone else? Thousands of small bubbles of thoughts were bursting inside while trying to collide with the wall of sleep which was still residing in my body. I turned the letter and with great surprise saw your name written in golden sizzling words. “Gosh!!!!” my heart suddenly jumped and I was wide awake. Suddenly I was missing someone whom I loved so greatly and it was you sis. At that time I had no words to say. I simply imagined you in front of me. Imagined an aura of you around me. Slowly and steadily the air started taking your shape and gosh you were there!!!!!!! My heart was pouncing, my heart was beating and my heart envisaged you in front of me. I hugged you, kissed you and said “Thank You Sis!!! Thank you so so much”. “thank you for remembering me!!!”. “Thank you for caring about me!!!!”.

With heartful of flowers of excitement, I opened the envelop. What I saw in front of me were two stunning red colored threads wrapped in a piece paper. With the crafted writing any body could have guessed it was yours. And since I was totally into my senses I too J. Keeping aside the rakhis I started reading the letter. With the your panorama still floating in front of me, I could hear you whispering the contents of the letter as I went through it.

Someone always used to say “There is something very lovable and magical about her letters” and I used to wonder how can a letter be lovable. You are but your letter? For the 1^st time I finally got the chance to sense that magical moment around me. There was something very unique about that letter. I could feel the words, the sound while you spoke those words, could feel you breathing while you wrote those words, the mystique of thoughts that surrounded you that time. Everything was so real in front of me yet so far.

For me loving someone so greatly requires a great effort from the other side. But being one of the beautiful and gorgeous ladies in my life you always have a great place in my spirit. Missing you, loving you is not by choice but was by destiny. Being a brother I have one thing to say to you, it may sound too cliché but that’s so true “ I love you sis. And I wont let you down at any point of your life. People say that things move on and we tend to forget the relationships. But I promise you it wont happen with us. I have full faith in you. Whatever you do whatever you think, whatever you decide I’ll always support it.”

Sisters are always the weakest point of any boy. He can abide anything but words against her sister. And I am glad to accept that for me too my sisters are my weakest and strongest point. You are part of my family sis. And I wont leave my family alone at any point of life.

I too wish you were here. I too wish you could tease me. I too wish you could see me laughing like a giant. I too wish……………………

About Gurgaon, it is still dusty, dusky with full of carbon mono oxide surrounding the air. Away from the fast paced life style of malls our MDI campus still is surrounded by some serendipity of not having all these.

The aura is melting away and as it melts I miss you more. Things will change but one thing wont and that’s my love and care towards you. Will always be there to protect you and be with you.

Always want you to be happy in life.

Enjoy sweetheart. Love you. And miss you. Muuuuaaaahhhhhhh…….. An everlasting hug and lots of kisses XXOO……….. hope you’ll always be the chweet and golu molu sis ever…..

Your Bro

Arpit
