Dear Sista’s,
Thank you for being sisters. Though complicated and sometimes crazy, sisters (and all of you women in general) thank you for always being warm, for caring deeply about me.

Priti, I think you always provided Ashish and I a great person to be mean to when we were younger (sorry :) ). You still gave me rides and taught us dances…thanks. Sorry about cutting off your phone calls with your bhenpani’s in Jayakar. Thanks for Parth, and thanks for his cheeks. His cheeks deserve a thanks on their own. Wayyyy too cute.

Nilam, I know you are not officially a sister, but you are like a sister to me so here is some raksha for you too. Thanks for the always deep and interesting conversations and for the nice hugs. We have only known each other well for a few years but it is good to be so close already. Thank you also for Neevudi and for writing in his blog (which eventually led to Medavo).

Sheela, it is great that you are also born in October. One of the few sisters to be non-June. Thanks for the Halloween mask during my first Halloween. Thank you for the multitude of nicknames and some interesting online conversations :) And also for the good critique on poetry. Also thanks for getting married. That was a wholeeee lotta fun! I am glad we abandoned the poking game.

Dhen, thanks for completing all the grades one year before me. Your notes and positive reputation with teachers were priceless. Oh yeah, and thanks for beating up those boys in the agaasi. And for opening the gallery in jayakar when that little Gaurav locked me in there. Oh yeah and also thanks for always listening to my embarrassing stories and always offering great advice and love. You’re welcome for the perfect height shoulder to sleep on in long car trips ;)

Ami, Sorry for the music in the car. It probably didn’t hurt much though, cause your most of your friends still stuck by you even after seeing you driving with me with blasting music in our mini-van. You were always a great tennis partner…we are both better players now because of it. I know you deeply care and that always made being your brother warm. You also scold me more than any other sister. So thats always good :)

Khyati, I am not sure exactly how old you are so I put you in after Ami. I also don’t know if you still read Medavo. But still, thank you your stories when I visit you in Khar. They are truly priceless. It was always fun to talk and joke around with you and now that you read Medavo I feel we keep in touch more often. Thanks for signing up :)

Avi, First and foremost thank you for the daily updates on Daviess County High School news. Also thank you for being the younger sibling partner whenever we did olders vs youngers with Ami and Dhen. I remember our weird football game in Dreamy Hollow too when it was You and Ami vs Me. Thanks for all those “family hugs.” Also, Too bad you grew up ;) You are still my lil’ sister.

Dipti, you are the youngest sister. Dip-dipa-dee-dip. And now you are in college too!! It was always fun joking with you. It is also fun having philosophical debates with you on IM. I remember when I first realized the idea of how physics is all based on induction. You will have a lot of fun in college. Lets just hope the sun rises tomorrow ;)

I love alllll you sisters very much. Hope you all have a great day and are well.

Love,
Nimit

 

Happy Raksha bandhan to everybody. This is very unique festival celebrated by Indians which remembers unique love between brothers and sisters. We all four brothers are lucky that this time our both sisters are here. ( younger generation also every body is here.) On this day let all of us pray that our love flourish day by day.
