This time you have put us all in real thought mode! And yes, the beauty of each relation you explained, simply wow! To whom do we relate...... Life lessons, we take from all and different ones from every story of each of the pair!...... Now to choose one that feels ideal to us?
Sima, your concept this time really started the cogs in my memory bank! Thank you, dear!........
Life is so beautiful with small moments of happiness bestowed by the universe...... In our so-called career orientation and stuff, we become so jaded, that the sweet drizzles of carefree happiness fade away in our minds.
Your masti this time took me back to my childhood/youth, making me realise at different times situations have related to different revered Gods/Mythological entities!
Murugan Karitikeya + Siddhivinayak Ganesha: My elder brother and myself in our childhood. I was bright(?) Scholastic geek while he had the might. But whenever I was lauded for my first rank or other achievements, he must have got the feeling of being left out ( I realised this much later in life ). Yet, I have always been indebted to him. When just coming to age, I suffered eve teasing from roadside Romeos. Once, I came home and cried. The next day my brother with his friend's group went and beat up the Gang. After the incident, nobody troubled me on the road. He was my Kartikeya War God! .......And, same as Ganesha helped Murugan to marry Valli, I played tricks and supported my brother in his inter cast marriage against the family's sanction
Ram + Lakshman: That would be my husband and his younger brother, typical angry young man. My husband would restrain him and take care of him to nurse him to health if he was hurt after his angry fights.
Shri Krishna + Subhadra: My first cousin and I. He was just a year older than me and we had a great bonding. When my to-be groom asked for first meeting alone with me, my dada came to drop me. Once later, I asked him what prompted him to do that because the meeting place was next to my University where I went every day alone. He smiled and said 'Because I didn't want you to lose your confidence against the husband-to-be and I wanted him to understand that you were not alone at all. We, the Dadas and the Bhais stood behind you.........When I was pregnant, I had complications. Whenever my husband was away on tours, my cousin bro would pick me up from the workplace and take me to stay at my uncle-auntie's place. He took great care of me.........
When a person is loved by all even Gods love him... We lost him in a car accident when he was just 28...... person goes, but the love remains eternal in your heart.
Mithila Sisters, Seeta and Urmila: I and my younger first cousin. In our adolescent age, we shared everything, our dreams, our fears, even our first crushes. Whenever we were together, we would stay up all night chatting. And now we ourselves laugh at the memories because we can't remember, what we chatted all night about
Krishna+ Balarama/ Krishna+ Subhadra: My son and daughter! Like Krishna Balarama, both were always partners in mischievous crimes....... Licking the cream over the cake before it's cut...... Ringing the bell of neighbours and running away...... I, the Maiyya, got complaints and then both would get serious scolding..... Both would stand with sheepish faces but mischiefs continued in some or other form...... Plucking kachcha aam (Kairi) from the public play garden and then, with the security guard, I would be like... Gaari Naahi deejo mor Garibani ka jaayo hai.......... Both have grown up now and are best friends of each other with a very tight bonding. He is her strongest protector.
I went through these life experiences but did not relate them to mythological stories, till date. Sima's mythological masti made me realise...... Time is Cyclic..... History keeps repeating..... and Mythology is meant to take your life lessons in current times.
Gandhari + Shakuni, Ravana + Bibhishana, Ravana + Kumbhkarna, Duryodhan +Dushala are also great examples of sibling love. A person may be bad to one or a group, but they also hold soft love in their heart. Just because we don't have good encounters with someone , we shouldn't malign our hearts about their love for their loved ones......... Also, sometimes life might put you in a Mahabharat conflict over property. Still, try and be your best possible....... Sometimes, you might have to be Shakuni or Bibhishana or even Kumbhkarna! Never hesitate to fulfil your duty.
Very sorry for a very loooooooong post! I know everybody is busy and nobody wants to know the entire life story of another, but this post is more my memory sketch........ perhaps the first time!
