You, my Sister...


I came across by the site ‘funnyhappyquote.com’ by accident. It showed some pretty truths about various relationships through cartoons. I came across a ‘Older sister-Younger sister’ one, and my mind automatically flashed back to an incident which happened 2 years ago…

I was sitting in the living room when you came back with your results. You had secured a rank in the top 500 in the country. You thought that you finally had done something which was worthwhile…I could see that in you eyes…

If only you knew, that you were, are and would always be the most important person in my life.

If only you knew, how expressive your eyes are to me.

You, my sister, who had learned at an young age how to control your emotions and as opposed to your inner compassion…

If only you knew, how I wish every time to tell you that you are one of the most intelligent and genius people I have had met.

You, my sister, who would have disagreed with me and laughed at my stupidity, telling me that I have still quite a lot to learn in life…

If only you knew, how always our parents were and are proud of you and would tell our relatives how you had and continue evolving into a good and responsible person.

You, my sister, who always believes in the worst and always performs your best…

If only you knew, how skillfully you handled the situations arising in our house when our father was ill.

You, my sister, who are always twice as mature as any person of your age, would have denied it and would have told me to learn from your immature mistakes…

If only you knew, how angry I was at you when you asked me not to ask our parents about getting myself a gear cycle and get it when I started earning but I didn’t say anything because I knew you had a pretty good reason behind it which I didn’t understand.

You, my sister, who brought me my own first two wheeler after you started earning yourself, made me realize how reasonable and understanding you are at any moment of time…

If only you knew, how mad how I used to be and still do, when you point out the mistakes and improvements in something which I have recently learned, you being the first one to know about it.

You, my sister, who, through her strict teachings, are always trying to make me better than I was and am…

If only you knew, how jealous I was and am when our mother always shares her thoughts and musings only with you.

You, my sister, who always can emotionally connect with any person easily were and is the most trustworthy person I have met till date…

If only you knew, how patiently you handled and continue handling my tantrums and manipulations and find a perfect solution for my problems.

You, my sister, who is a perfect impersonation of patience and perfection…

If only you knew, how secretly glad I used to be when the best teachers at school called me by your name, telling me to be like my sister and not to wander down the way.

You, my sister, who everyone tells is extraordinary but refuses to believe so and scoffs it off…

If only you knew, how mature and responsible I feel when you call me up to ask me anything, especially advice when you fight with your best friend, even though I am quite younger than you.

You, my sister, who has the capability to bring out the best in others without even knowing that you are the one doing it…

If only you knew, how excited I feel every time you tell me of a new and thrilling movie you watched and wanted me to do the same.

You, my sister, who has the knack of making absolutely anyone comfortable with your presence…

If only you knew, how awestruck I was when you easily started discussing about finances and figures with our uncle even before starting college and made a whole plan of stock, shares and what not things.

You, my sister, who always says that she never plans ahead and takes things as they come, are really a great visionary…

If only you knew, how amazing paintings and sketches you draw, but always tell me that I am the one who has the knack for it.

You, my sister, who never knows that most of the times its your paintings and sketches where I get the ideas from and manage to change them…

If only you knew, how I sit straighter and higher in my place when you call cunning and ambitious like a Slytherin, always focused towards the goals.

You, my sister, who doesn’t know but is a perfect blend of bravery and loyalty of a Gryffindor, hard-worker of a Hufflepuff, intelligence of a Ravenclaw and cunning of a Slytherin…

If only you, how badly I miss you and want to tell you all these things, but fail every time thinking that you will laugh at me saying that I have a lot to learn.

You, my sister…
