I was just reading my friend Greenmonster`s blog chameleon in the shadow of the night. And her latest post was something I could really relate to.
I remembered this exchange of sms I had with my friend sumit a few days ago. Sumit had send me an sms apologizing for something I had totally forgotten about. And referred to me as lil bro. Thats when I had asked him what relation he thinks is more important, friends or "family"/siblings.. I narrated to him the case of my and my cousin harsh, whom I consider a friend because we`re so close despite the age difference and we share everything with each other and there`s no sibling rivalry and no "formalities" of respect etc,but still, as I`m the older one, he calls me yash bhaiya, thats it. And he said He`d consider his siblings more important than his (please note here,..) "guy friends".
But after reading greenmonster`s post, I found the right answer. No matter how I`m related to someone, If we make a connection "by soul", thats more important to acknowledge than any other relation out there!
Thanks green.

Great post, dear Yash, thank you!
ReplyDeleteI believe when you have friends, age does not matter. since 12 years I have a good friend who is 39 years older than me, but we are still good friends...
About sibilings... sometimes we have good relations with them, sometimes not so much...
BTW - I am having troubles while publishing this comment...
I applied the inline comments hack to make it simple for people to post comment..but maybe its the blogger/blogger beta differences that are causing this..but thats why the chat box is here..maybe next time you could just use the chatbox.
