Tender Winter
(Image Source: http://www.survivopedia.com/)
I sew memories
In that winter sun
Basking in glory
As slowly embers burn
Huddled together
Bundled in awe
In grandma's cuddle
Dreams that I saw
By that wooden log
Orange it glowed
Warm stories flowed
As out snow poured
I sew memories
Sweet and bitter
Of moth smelling sweater
That lovely tender winter

With Love, My Sister
“Having a sister
is like having a best friend you can’t get rid of. You know whatever you do,
they will still be there” – Amy Li
You never realise the value of someone until and unless you
are apart from that person and this also holds true in my situation. I have
never been separated from my family. In my life of twenty six years I didn’t
come across a situation in which I had to stay alone. My schooling, college and
then my job all happened in my home town. Though this sounds strange it is true
in my case. But then as people say “Ek din har ladki ko ghar chor kar jana
parta hai,” so the day came when I had to finally bid goodbye to my family and
shifted to Gurgaon with my husband.
And then it all started those precious memories with its
beautiful stories. I miss my sister the most, with whom I grew up and shared the
bits and pieces of my everyday life. Sisterhood means having a friend who will
be there for life. Growing up with a
sister is the best part of my life. Going to school together, mimicking our
teachers, studying, having our dinner, watching TV and those innumerable things of daily life
which I never thought to be so
meaningful have suddenly become a cherished
memory of a lifetime. I can never forget those evening walks on our terrace,
strolling together, gossiping and giggling.
I remember sitting on the sofa and enjoying hot cup of
chai and snacks. Taking selfies and pleading her to take my pictures in a
better way and from different angles pissed her sometimes. But when I take a
look at those pictures in my cell phone, I feel elated and think these simple
things of everyday life add fun and little tadka to our memories. Shopping
together and eating out on weekends were so much fun. She is always there to
decide if I should buy a particular dress. Whether it’s painting our toe nails,
and deciding which shade to apply or just lying down on lazy summer afternoons,
she is my perfect companion and partner in crime. I miss my sister when I lookout
for dresses or footwear because she is my stylist .She is someone on whom I can
lean on for my fashion tips. From teenage crushes to awkward secrets we shared almost
everything.
There are hundreds of incidents
And awesome memories
Those brightened days
And sunset glories
Growing up with you
Is like a joyful ride
I miss you sis
Standing by my side
