Cousinly bonds
To begin with, I do apologise for the major delay of this post. Wait, why am I apologising? It is my blog, right? Ok, just being courteous. Anyway, crap aside, I woud like to say that my sister’s wedding was a total blast and I’ve never enjoyed being at one more in my life. We managed to squeeze some good cash out of our brother-in-law too. That was the best part. Most of all, I got to be with my cousins and we got to be the pranksters again (Minus my cousin at the US. we missed him big time.)
My brother just wrote about how a lot of us don’t realise how much we need certain ppl till we actually find them again. Us, cousins used to be stuck to each other at a certain point several years ago. But then we shifted houses, grew up, had a lot to study blah blah. Though that is no excuse for losing touch, we did. Since then, everytime there’s a function in the family, we meet yet again. And by the time we catch up and get close, its time to leave. Back to the routine life. And the best part is that’s exactly what we do. Initially, there are a few mails and phone calls but then it just fades away. That’s the story so far.
This year was different. We sw a different side to ourselves and how all of us shared the same boredom with life. In a way, we got to be closer but still we needed more time to enjoy wat we had managed to build and seal up. Ofcourse, everyone had to leave - again, but a little more wiser this time (ie. we’ll not let go this time). I’ve already said this in SEV’s blog but I’m gonna say it again. As we grow older, memories with dear ones are harder to forget. That’s when we realise how important they are and try to hold on with that little finger…. a leaf out of our dads’ books (Coz they manage to hold on to everything they care for).
I’ve probably mentioned it a bundle of times before, but considering my forthcoming exams I will not be able to write much for this month. Cheers.
P.S. SEV - I hope I haven’t completely copied your topic down here. I merely have the same thoughts running through my mind.
