My little brother!!

Sajan.. Thinking of him, gets me through a mixture of emotions that only a brother can. He has been my friend, partner in mischief, wrestling rival, confidant, motivator, critic, always up for an annoying bicker, but ready to stand by me when least expected. 


I remember when we were little, I used to cook up stories about ghosts in the cleaning room and I remember the innocent, trusting look he used to give me. I am not sure if I was the "elder sister" figure.. but we sure had a lot of fun! 

how did I ever convince u to do this!

Sajan the joker.. in his element.. :P

jumping in muddy pools, hunting for bugs in the backyard, playing video games, trying to prepare our unique drink, watching fav cartoons together, we even tried to pull an all-nighter!! 

At mora beach..

If u feel my bro s not cute, I'll shoot u!

Sajan.. do you remember all of this??


I had taken having him around for granted.. Then he went to Vijayawada and slogged for 2 years.. I hardly spoke to him or met him then and I realised that I missed him a lot.. 
But after that, when we met up during holidays, we would be back to pulling each other's legs.. 


And his brains landed him in IIT-B and its probably the 2nd best thing that has happened to him. Besides the academic drill, he does a LOT of volunteering for over 4 NGOs, dynamically associated with The Art of Living, innovative projects, amazing with the guitar and flute (which he learnt on his own)..to name a few. I am so proud of all the work he is doing there.

He has the most amazing friends .. I am really grateful to have spend time with all of them ..especially Pramod Bhaiya, Ashish, Mugdha.. I cannot imagine their faces without the warmth and a big smile :) I am sure they played a pivotal role in making him such a wonderful person. 


I was extremely sick when I met him in IIT.. He was so helpful and caring.. At that time, if anyone has asked me if Sajan is my elder bro, I would have said "yes!!".. He was always there for me when I was low and reminded me to keep smiling (another thing for which I am grateful, that Delhi happened)..I will never forget it..The most recent and sweet memory with him was when he "escorted" me to Trivandrum for my interview.. 



I cannot skip mentioning his special talents. He can make so many wierd noises.. he used to stand on our balcony and start "kaaa-ing" like a happy crow.. can imitate pigeons (since then I call him Sajan the Pigeon!! ).. dogs.. cats.. anything..!! :-)
Oh.. and he can move his ears independently and they are so soft and I enjoy twisting them till they turn red (he allows me to do this once in 3 years).. and I simply love playing with his eye lashes when he is asleep (fun to disturb him)!!



I never said it before, but Sajan, I really appreciate the things you do that make you a perfect brother..Looking forward to meeting you next. Continue to rock (and bug!!) everyone around you.. 

Happy Rakshabandhan!!
