They say History repeats itself.Well,I dont know about history,but whatever is happening around me is surely repeating itself.Once again,"The Great Shifting Episode"...once again,Dadu is moving away to The Indian Institute of Management,Bangalore...once again,to one of the best educational institutes in the world.Once again,my one of the three most favourite persons in the wolrd is moving away...
But something is different.This time,after the completion of his post graduation,he would come anywhere but home.I wont get time to spend with him just coz he would be too busy.He wouldnt make maggie for me coz he wold be busy having tea with his office people.We wont go out to eat Bhurji near BMCC,but we would rather go to a 3 star restaurant just coz it would suit his "status".He will always be well groomed unlike when i had to run behind him and make him shave.He wont go out in shorts and the most miserable t shirt i have ever seen,and he wont touch my Scootie in front of his Audi.Will he miss our dabba Activa when he's really tired of going
everywhere in a car?Would he miss Pune's power cuts when he's sitting in an A/C office all day and night?
Its time again...to be all by myself in my room,my table,my bed,my computer and my parents...but do I really want this?No!I want him to fight with me over the computer,or who will sit where while watching TV.A fight over remote?Well,I learnt to surrender,hand him the remote and not continue the fight further a long time ago!But most of all,what i learnt is to be myself and be honest to my parents,no matter what.I got from him the courage to strive when everyone else is happily enjoying,be it for an NTS scholarship,or just anything else.He taught me that I have everything and better at my resource to become someone i want to.And he also taught me to watch Cricket and HATE cricket!He is my inspiration for literally everything,except for studying Biology.What I am today,or what I will be in the recent future is all his credit,more than my parents or anyone else.I didnt cry like a baby this time.Maybe its just that I have got used my most loved people being taken away from me...
I have grown from caling him "Tejadya" to "Dadu",and trust me,not even my mom can beat me in knowing him!There was time when i saw him getting bowled over by babes or more appropriately girls getting bowled over by him!I do everything possible for him,even if it includes just buying him a lead pencil!And i bet he cant shop for himself anymore,coz its been me whose been doing that job for a considerably long time now!I wonder how this "undisputed PJ God of his hostel" bro of mine uses the most deadly PJs to hit on girls and succeeds at that!Quirky by nature,he hates coriander(!)and goes to painful lengths to ensure that not even a molecule of it enters his mouth.He spends most of his time on phone or chat these days.7 hours of phone continously and whole night of chatting spanning more than 2900 lines.I am yet to ascertain if current Guiness World record is comparable to this feat of his.Worth mentioning is the four page long love letter he penned down for his gf this V-day,when I believe that he hasnt written that much notes in class last two sems combined!Witty,flirtatious,whimsical,talkative,caring,ambitious and hardworking is how his friends describe him,and I cant agree more!
Excluding his habit of over protectiveness and over sensitivity towards me,I have never really regretted having a bro.There comes a time when some of my friends describe their relationshiops with their elder sisters,and I feel jealous.But when I come home and hear one of his career theories for me instead of how-to-persuade-mom-to-go-shopping theory(which usually happens with sisters),the thought vanishes!Yet,I dont seem to understand some of his logics,me not being allowed to be on Facebook being an example.Now as he learns (to) "Manage-men-t"actfully,I am enjoying the fact that he is a student once again on the contrast of his last 2 years job and unlimited fun(he he!).
What i see him after 4 years from today,is a handsome and smart CEO of a leading financial company,with a beautiful wife and a fat(ter) salary...I cant be happier!Miss him like hell.
