The thing I liked most in Dehradun was Lucky, my distant cousin brother( read psycho). Me and my father stayed at my Chachaji's(Uncle's) house there for three days. Chachaji being posted to some other place, only my Chahiji(Aunty), my cousin sister Anjali and Lucky were at home. I don't want to go into the reasons for going to Dehradun and coming back as a failure, so I stick to the fun part.
'Not having a real brother is not that bad.' This is the falsest thing I have told myself. Not having a real brother is a real, real, bad, worse and worst thing. Lucky made me realize what I am missing all this time. I don't know how he and Anjali grew up so fast. I was expecting to meet some kids, as they were the last time I saw them. Now Anjali seemed a solemn 11th class student. She went to school, she went for coaching, came home, studied, had dinner and slept. And Ripley's Believe It Or Not, she wakes up at 4 am to study again. If I had not seen it with my own eyes, I would say "C'mon, the head you see on me has a brain too. 4 am is not even a real time."
"The Full Utilization Of Those Three Days Award' goes to Lucky. He is in 10th class and I saw him studying for not more than 10 minutes(adding all the tit-bit seconds when he held a book in his hands). He has two bags full of cards- Pokemon, Ben10, WWE and everything. I beat him easily because when you are playing a guessing game with a boy, winning is pretty easy. They are overconfident and don't think twice before announcing a rank of 25(I had rank 1 in that case...hah!!). Then he asked me too many puzzles and I answered all of them. He thinks I am a genius but he does not know that all those puzzles were already asked to me by the same source(my another Chachaji). After all I too was his age 6 years ago. We passed hours insulting each other. He made fun of Anjali, who never replied. So i made fun of him. Then he made fun of me and I made more fun of him. And just before going to bed we fell prey to hysterical laughing sessions.
Don't 'awww' on the innocent face. It has got daggers for teeth. |
Not to forget their pet rabbit. God! It was so cute......only on the outside. He bit me twice(just because I was trying to snatch away his food?!) and it pained a lot. There must be a game called 'Angry Rabbits'. At least it would be more realistic. :@
Lol! Really, 4am is absent from my schedule too. Lucky is a really good lad! And yeah, guessing games with boys is easy for you people. I was about to go bankrupt (like I have an a/c in my dreams :P ) just because of those games. Good one! (y)
ReplyDelete:) so u too were crazy about playing cards!

Thank you :) and same pinch!!
DeleteLOL...BTW, you liked Lucky because you don't have to live with him 365 days. If you are still missing brother, don't worry. You can take mine. :D I will gladly give you to him ;) :P
ReplyDeleteI may live with a brother like your's for 365 days...but I doubt if he would be able to tolerate me. :)
DeleteThanks for reading.
