My Kid Brother’s Anniversary

I’m a single child, no brothers, no sisters. A few cousins though. But it’s a known fact, no matter how warm a relation you share with your cousins, your friends are always more closer to you. Some relations can become so strong that they are miles ahead of the term ‘Friendship’. By default, one has only one best friend, I thankfully, I have many. Some of them are so good friends of mine that I guess this paragraph must be the first incident after months and months, where I am referring to these people as friends and not brothers. One such friend of mine is Souly. He too is a single child and as far as I know, he doesn’t have any cousins either. I met this dude in late 2003. A black-metal freak, always clothed in all black, from hair bands to socks, from nail polish to shoe polish, everything black. Since then things have changed a lot, in him, as well as our friendship. Our friendship has grown stronger, stronger to an extent that he is nothing less than a kid brother to me. He and some more friends of ours are now like a close knit family.

As far as Souly goes, he has started looking like a human now. He has become more subdued compared to what he was earlier. The last time his 7 channel speaker system must have played black metal must be more than a year back. Undoubtedly the person responsible for this is the love of his life. The girl he met around an year back. PeeeeChik, as we call her, added to his life, a lot of love and warmth that he so badly needed. Its like an exotic dish you prepare, but there is something missing, one ingredient. You add that and everything is perfect. Souly’s life was somewhat similar. Everything was going right, but it lacked something. A person who could love him with a clean heart, understand him and help him understand life in a more positive way. She did it for him. She has added a spark to his life and he stands by it.

Coming out of the black and white flashback, today happens to be the first anniversary of their relationship.

Both these love birds lie in an age group where the couple cant tolerate each other for more than 6 moths and finally end up in a split. But these two, as if made for each other, understand each other and completely fit the jigsaw. Just like any other couple, they do have their own little kiddish fights. I would COMPLETELY blame that on this stupid girl who still thinks like a school kid. And on that note, our kid brother doesn’t stay far behind either. All said and done, they are a great match for each other.

As I said, their Anniversary was celebrated today at 12:00 am. I and another couple friend of ours were there to witness the warm moment. PeeeeChik was treated to a nice plate of Chocolate Brownie with hot Chocolate sauce. Happy Anniversary to both of you. I hope that just like the Chocolate sauce, your relation becomes thicker and tastier with time. There are many more to come and lets hope we all are together to witness it and be a part of your celebration. After all, at least I cant be absent at any of my kid brother’s celebrations !!!

***He still sometimes thinks, life would have been quite different if he was still single. Whatever that means......
