*This one is for the SB… ๐ who makes me realize each day, how much more I have to learn, appreciate, and love ๐ Thanks a zillion, sweetheart ๐
Now that I am officially twenty-five years old, the X-files option to disclose is finally here!
By the way, why does to reveal have a word like “disclose”, to express it? Strange are the ways of the English Language! This will further get me into rambling about the vagaries of a favourite language of mine, so I had better stop before I start! ๐
Ah! You’re still here, and reading? Maybe you’re wondering what on earth I am going to disclose… ๐ Just a status message on Facebook, by the SB wishing his brother a Happy Birthday, that goes like this ๐
Happy b’day Arjun Muralidharan on ur 25th ๐ It was nice growing up with someone like you, – someone to lean on, someone to count on… someone to tell on! ๐ ๐ ๐ Hav a great yeah ahead!!
And his response?
Thanks bro.. wat do i say.. cudn hav done it without you. All those years, those games, those rides.. seems like it was yesterday and i sure do wish like hell it will remain like that forever. Though i shud say, i hate it wen u keep growing up.. i always wish ud remain “chotu” Love u loads.. BRO
I am reminded of the song, from Ram Lakhan, “Mere Do Anmol Ratan”, that I love so much.
That’s them… ๐
And what I feel most blessed is that the SB has found words, to express so beautifully his feelings! Prouder yet again, am I, of him :), for he has borne the brunt of many a dark day I have gone through, being there for me, always, but always… ๐ And though we fight the hardest, ๐ :P, I know he will be the one who will pull me through the fires I burn in ๐ ๐
Ash ๐ You’re the coolest, most happening person, ever ๐ Thank you, for you ๐
And though I don’t need to say it… Love you… ๐

That was such a touching display of emotions, Ushus! How I miss my growing up years with my brother. I always feel a lump in my throat whenever I witness such bonding and love between siblings. May God bless Arjun & Ash with his choicest blessings always ๐
A very Happy Birthday to Arjun ๐ .
Deeps, thank you ๐ ! Most especially for the wishes! This time I was floored by the very obvious way they shared of themselves, and that is why I needed to record this for myself too ๐ Thank you so much!

Awww Usha, this is so sweet.
Shail… thanks ๐ ๐ It was so sweet of him too… I never knew he could express himself so aptly. There was magic, when I read it this morning (when I finally got to sit at the computer, after he left for college ๐ ), and I had to just write this!

Ushus one day I want to be just such a mom:)
Whether boy or girl, I want them to be just like this. Expressive and free with their emotions.
God bless! YOu will be ๐ ๐ Pakka,like Pakka!!!
I know how guarded boys are generally with their responses (EB and YB -bros ..they are expressive once in a blue moon ๐ ) and that’s why the messages have come as a beautiful surprise:)
They are, but of late my two have suddenly started blossoming ๐ wonder why!!! Lol! You know ๐
But then I knew that your sons would be like this. They have you as a mom na?:)
Not jus their mom, I think is responsible for this ๐ ๐ ๐ Perhaps suddenly they are being liberated of their own selves ๐ ๐
That is such a cutiepie of a pic!:)
And as the eldest in the group I can give a sage like grin and say sada khush raho vats to both your darlings ๐
Hahahaha! I must get them to read this ๐ ๐ Thanks Indy … love you too!

I have always thought boys are the most unexpressive people but this does make me change my mind…your boys rock!and its the mom’s rearing that makes it all happen i am sure…
Thank you Sindhu, for that lovely compliment. But I guess I cannot take full credit ๐ In fact they have brought me up quite well, considering what a strict mom I used to be :P! Yes boys, and these two are no exception, can be unexpressive, which is why I was touched and amazed at this very open display of affection ๐

Dear Usha teacher,
I was waiting eagerly to see your blog on the previous days . so now I had got a chance to see your blog with wonderful creative works of my classmates.I am satisfied with my project too…because I didn’t think that I could do my projects well when i started doing it.When I got my project back with full marks I bloomed like a bud with confidence in me.
I thank you for giving me a chance to have a wonderful experience like this. This encourages me to move forward with further projects .
And I am wishing you a ” HAPPY EASTER (eventhough it is over) and a HAPPY VISHU”
With love and respect
Nimi Maria
Dear Nimmi, Wonderful to see your words ๐ And there should be no reason for you to feel unsure about yourself ๐ You know how i feel about your work too ๐
Thank you for the wishes, and best wishes to you and your family too, for Vishu, and the holidays, and the next year ๐
