MY DEAR

Collecting useless waste papers

Putting to use those papers

Teaching patiently

Art of making aeroplanes

And

Make them fly in the air

That is my brother!

While learning the art

I fell in love with flying on my own

Thinking

Like paper aeroplane

I too can fly

Using my arms as my wings

So

I stand on higher place

Spread my arms like wings

And

Take a jump

But Alas!

There I fall down

But wait!

Before hitting the ground

With a thud

And

Hurt myself

I'm held in arms stronger

Holding me back safer

That's my brother!

Teaching patiently

Art of making paperboat

And

Push that

First ii in water tub

Then in house water drains

Amused

I take out

Many paperboats

Which

I make with his help

And

In heavy downpour

One after another

I try to propell

But Alas!

All the paperboats collapse

And

I cry inconsolably

Drenched fully in heavy rains

Suddenly a hand

Stretches and stops

Tears mingling with rainwater

That's my brother!

Cherishing my childhood

Clinging to times good

Even now

In my grownup world

Living in my life carved

Nothing is changed

Habitually

Protective, caring, alert

Same way

Simultaneously

Encouraging me

To do and to be

Better and better

That's my brother!

Still treating as kid sister

And

Dealing delicately

Imbibing true meaning

Of

Rakhi -Rakshabandhan

A philosopher, a saviour

Forever my dear and dear

Always a big supporter

That's my brother!
