So
it was around 21 years back that this miracle/accident happened with me. Around
four in the morning she checked out of my mother’s womb and landed in our arms.
With an excited father and a confused mind I left from my place to visit her.
On our way to the hospital, we met with a small accident. God has his own way
of giving signs for what the future has in store for us. I still remember our
first meeting, she was wrapped in a white sheet, lying next to my mother, eyes
closed, looking like a ball of cotton.
We grew up together, in the same
house, shared the same room and same set of parents yet we managed being as different
as chalk and cheese. She once told me, “I am sure that if we would not have
been sisters, we would not even have bothered to talk with each other.”
I
think that is the real beauty of this beautiful relation that we share. Having
nothing in common and sharing radically different ideologies, yet we are the best of the friends around. During our growing up days, we shared a
different equation. I remember hiding and running away from her as she would
follow me to my friend’s place and then report everything back to my mother. Then all I wanted was to get rid of her. Now, after almost 15 years, she
is my keeper. I confide in her.
While
both of us have come to this junction in our life where sooner or later we
shall be taking different paths, staying in different house, sharing different
rooms and different set of in-laws, I am sure that she would still remain my
source of energy – my life! Everyone asks me why am I not able to find a proper
suit for myself, the answer is pretty simple. She has set the standard too
high. Every night I sleep next to her and wake up with her by my side and
something within feels good and secure. She is there to celebrate my sunny days
and consoles me through the stormy tides. The pani-puri rendezvous and the long
drives make life much more than just perfect. She was born to be my company and
she has played her role to the perfection. Now when the time has come to choose
a candidate for a similar post, it obviously is a tough competition.
So
today when you turn 21, all I have to say is that life has been a beautiful
journey because I had a companion like you. Even when we share nothing in
common (apart from the bare essentials) you still have been the best company
around.
Mein
