Sisterhood

People who don’t have sisters have no clue about what’s involved. They would never understand the crazy love behind the disastrous arguments between us after which we turn around and laugh our heads off. We have dreamed of all the fun things to do together and even some which we aren’t supposed to do. The strong bond is because of those troubles we have given each other and that we have lived through it together. When I look back on our times at home she is such an important part of my memories. She has already given me a year’s glimpse of life without her and so I already have an idea about what my life would have been like without her. 

I still remember the first time I took her in my hands. I don’t remember the moment clearly but when I look at photographs taken of that December new year night I feel more grown up and protective towards my little darling. She is just 3 years younger to me and can now very well take care of her self and of people around her but for me she‘ll always be that little kid who needs a finger’s support to walk.

We’ve pushed each other’s buttons and vented out each other's feelings and emotions. We’ve laughed and shared and been the special best friends. We have stood for each other as well as against each other at times. But these are just few reasons we know each other so well now.I would always cherish the days and nights I have spent with her once I get busy with my graduation and career.

At times when we get scolded by our parents we rush to our room and start sharing our thoughts. And next moment we forget about everything and start playing; pushing each other off the bed, tickle each other till the other gives up. I have always tried to protect her as much as I could and I find she is more open to me now as compared to 1 year back when she didn’t go to hostel (just for an experience).

I would never be able to understand her. She is a very energetic girl as compared to others of her age yet she sits patiently to play almost all the mind games. We are like two poles of magnet. She is a bit conservative when it comes to wardrobe selection whereas I wear what I feel like which may be mini shorts as well. I mix around with new people in one go whereas she takes time. She is more of a homely person; she’ll do all the chores of the house. But I like to go to markets and would bring all the things our mum would have listed from the grocery.

People who don’t have sister have no way of comprehending the love that permanently connects our hearts, because a sister is one of life’s unique experiences and I wouldn’t trade what we share for anything…..
