So long brother…

Purush manush du prokar – jibito, bibahito

The guy I grew up with died (got hitched) this weekend. The smartest, most decent kid in the bunch. He is the silent type; you’ve got to know him well to know how witty he is. Wish I could be more like him. Gonna miss him a lot.

“Hey! Aren’t you the older one?”
“Errmm…yep!”
“Hmm…well…hang in there. You’ll find someone [sympathetic tone]”

How many times did the above conversation take place? Lost count after the second millionth time. (Sheesh! Like loosing a brother wasn’t bad enough!)

Had to take it out on somebody. Bad thing about being the elder brother in a wedding is that you have to act your age; can’t pull anything silly. Or can you? ;)
