"oye bhai tika ho bholi, calling card kindiu??", my room mate asked me. I told him, "ya go ahead". He bought me one. That night I was getting very excited to call home after a long time. My two younger sisters must have been desperately waiting for my call. I called them. I was so happy to listen to my sisters saying that they are studying so well, that I dont need to worry about them, that they are not troubling mom, dad. And for the third year in a row they are giving tika to my fufu's sons. I was sad but at the same time I knew my responsibilities as brother and as a son.
I also heard from dad that night that my maternal uncle had given birth to twins, a sister and a brother. Can you imagine that?? on a day of bhai tika, the twins, that too brother and sister. I had never heard anything like that before. I was amazed and thrilled for my mama and maiju. The only sad thing was it was two months premature. Then now I hear, the daughter is dead and the son is in incubation. Actually the doctor had already informed that for the babies, it would be hard to survive, since it was 7 months. So that is it now. I pray for the son's survival.
That was pretty much my bhai tika. A sad one tara its a fact and Iwhat can you do when the fate things otherwise?????
sad Krishna!
