Dear Mindi,

Just got to read this thread and your post. It reminds me of the good old days when me and my brother used to fight. My mom would support him saying that "Nee daan avana vambukku izhukkara" which means you only are pulling him for this fight. My dad will get hold of him if he slams me. He used to always follow me whenever I go play with my friends. All my friends (girls) teased me for that and I had cried to my mom about it. He used to kick me, hit me but I will bear all those and cry aloud when my dad enters home. Now years later, I'm married settled in this country, he's in India, we see each other in chat/orkut or once a year during our India visit. A while back he had cried to my mom telling those incidents when he used to bang me on the wall and I had no physical strength to resist him but only to cry. He felt emotional about it and that he shouldn't have done like that. Hearing it from my mother, I too felt very emotional and cried a lot on that day thinking about our childhood days. That said, he has the same or even more affection for my daughter and always talk about her to my parents and his friends.

This reminds me his b'day is this sunday, need to call him. Happy b'day bro!!!

Hey Mindi!
I have a kid sister and your post made me think of our relationship too. I have wished for a brother, but I am grateful to God for a very sweet sibling who is my friend today. Be it a brother or sister, a sibling is God's gift for sure.
Shez 4 years younger than me, but I always feel she is more mature than me sometimes. We've had many fights too, I even remember once she saw Hindi movie fight scene and she tried to enact it out on me. She folded up her knee, screamed "dhishum dishum" and kicked my stomach with her knee. It dint hurt me much, but I pretended to fall down and fell with my face down. She stood still for a minute or two, then tried shaking me and calling 'Akka akka get up'. Finally she ran to my mom and said, 'Amma, I think Akka is dead!!"Big LaughBig Laughbecause thats what had happened in the movie.
But over the years, she has been my friend and support always. Even two days back, I was a bit sad about something at home, and I called her up at 11 in the night and we spoke for about an hour.
Your thread brought back all these memories for me too.
