letter to a brother

pyaare bhaiyaa...
1. when i was a baby u said i looked like a doll with big black eyes...and later on,u told me that i had given u a kick on ur nose when u bent down to have a close look at me..in fact u were the first to get my big toothless grin and pee-shower!
2.when i was an year old,u assisted momma in helping me work out..i mean walk!
3.i used to ride piggyback on you.. u were my best toy..and my sawaari..chal mere ghode tik tik tik.
4.mom was so anxious about my first day at school but u promised her that i will be perfectly fine bcoz u would be there . and so i held ur forefinger tightly and took my first ,confident step into school.u helped me with my rhymes.
5. you coaxed me into finishing my homework on time..i wanted to be like you..model student , teachers' pet..
6.you always made fun of my pigtails and untied my ribbons when mom and dad were at work and made me cry..but then u came back and combed my hair too. you ate my share of goodies that mom gave us...
7. you bullied me into doing all ur chores failing which i would not be allowed to join u and your friends when u played.u taught me to climb trees and steal fruits from the orchard in our neighbourhood but you saved ur 3 months pocket money to get me the barbie doll i was peering at in the shop window.
8.u protested angrily when i tried on the latest skimpy clothes , scared away all prospective boyfriends with your fiercely protective attitude .. ..
9. you reminded me time and again how precious u are to me... with every little thing u did or said..
10. annnnnnndddddd u ran to me demanding your rakhi and sweets every year without fail and i ran behind you to demand my present!
tell me my brother, aaj tum zaroor aaoge nah? bcoz i have learnt cooking now and i have made all your favourite dishes and there is my hand made rakhi waiting to be on ur wrist...
....... ur sweet little sis
