The Best Girlfriend

"You are the bro type! I would be surprised if your wife doesn't bro-zone you!!!"
Words of my favourite sister a couple of days before Raksha Bandhan
Never understood if it was a gift or a curse?
So identical they seem at times - Compliment and insult
(Especially when the point of reference is the Chalu King)

Never an insult for me. Especially 'cuz it came from a sis!
Why do I love them so much?
They give me love support and care and blah, blah, blah....
That's never the reason. But there is a reason

Even after 30 blog posts, only these sisters ask, "When's the next one?"
Or maybe, "I was expecting one yesterday!" (Perverted eyes - Turn away!)
Invariably - they are the first ones to read these... (May God Save Them)
So intense a read, they even ask doubts!

So much pride when I am asked to write the intro for a souvenir
(Even though that sister managed to put my name out of the "print area")
Or when I am called for to present the Legendary "Corporate Kadhaprasangam"
(Even though that never happened)
Or when she sings me the entire "Happy Birthday" song over phone...

Marvellous people, who never agree with me - Ever!
You promised to call, but then atleast you sent an sms
You promised to come with me for a movie,
Atleast you never broke the promise (just postponed it.... for a loooong time)
And your hunt to find me a date - So Adorable

The card she made me (not the e-card... but yeah, that was touching too)
An entire page with Birthday Wishes, each word in a different colour
Seriously, not even in my wildest nightmares will I put so much effort.
When you ask me over and over again, not to go back
When you shed tears as I leave...

Amazing angels - colleagues and classmates
Here - to you - to The Best Girlfriend, I give this gift
The call me Buji, they call me Chalu,
But when you tie a Rakhi - That's when I feel most proud

With lots of love
A promise to protect and care
And to Love forever
Yours only
