From Chhote to Di----
We gain and lose things everyday.
But trust me on one thing.
You'll never lose me.
I will always be here.

A Brother and A sister: And a world of their OWN
Once there was a girl who lived in a huge palatial house with her parents.. The girl was loved and adored by everyone in her family.. All the members sheltered her with love and care.. All this love she saw around herself.. she wanted to shower it on somebody.. Her wish was granted.. and she got a gift of her own in the form of her little brother.. She only knew one thing from the moment she saw him.. She will always love her brother.. She will always protect her brother.. She will be there for him always..
When the brother spoke his first words.. she was alone in the room.. Her excitement knew no boundaries.. She felt that now that both of them could talk.. they will have a relationship where they can share everything..
The brother grew up and even at the tender age of four wanted to shield his sister from everything.. He would do anything to save her from punishment.. The sister, naughty as she was, stole the ice cream which they both ate without any restrain and ended up with sore throats.. The parents punished the sister for it was her fault.. But the brother could not see this.. He stood by his sister and punished himself, told everyone it was his fault.. Not his di's.. He cried and hid in a brass vessel, in which he got stuck.. The vessel had to be cut open and the little boy who was only four cried.. He cried not because he was hurt.. but because he was punished.. The sister's love for this little one grew deeper..
The sister wanted her brother to smile and be happy.. The brother though loved her did not appreciate her open affection, nor he was able to reciprocate his love for her openly.. The sister if wanted to wish him birthday with a balloon, he would burst the balloon and leave her alone.
Life went on.. Their bond growing deeper with time.. The sister became the center of her brother's universe..The brother became the recipient of all the sister's love and affection.. He filled his heart with her love..
Then arrived the day when the brother was for the first time smiling from ear to ear looking at his beautiful sister as bride.. both were at the peaks of their happiness.. only to be crashed down to the rock solid ground with nothing to cushion their fall.. The day which was meant to be the happiest of their lives became the day on which they faced the greatest tragedy of their lives.. Their mother left them alone in the world forever.. Their father also was lost to them.. The sister's marriage did not go through and she was left unwed in the mandap! If this was not enough.. they were thrown out of their HOME with nowhere to live..
The brother forever lost his childhood that day.. He steeled his heart and vowed to protect his sister and do everything possible to keep his sister happy.. The sister clung to the brother who became her only support in this hard times.. The NEED to shelter her from harm increased many folds.. The FAITH that the brother will always set everything right also deepened..
He stopped believing in fate and God.. and learnt at a very young age.. that money and material things mean everything in this cruel world.. The world considers people with emotions as fools and will rip apart such people.. He became a hard man with only 2 motives in life.. To earn a NAME for himself.. and to keep his sister happy ALWAYS..
Then came a man in his sister's life who loved her very much despite her tragic past.. The brother was happy to share his sister's love with that man because the man made his sister happy.. Much happier than he had seen her in years.. They started living their lives together.. He was content with his life..
Every year on the auspicious occasion of rakshabandhan, the sister would herself make the rakhi for her brother.. Both the brother and sister would fast together and open their fast together.. and the brother promised her sister
"main aapki zindagi mein kabhi koi dukh nahi aane doonga.. Main aapki khushi ke liye apni khushi chod doonga"
The sister was sad to see that the brother had become a very hard man.. The little brother whom she loved and was capable of limitless love was lost somewhere deep in him..Occasionally she would catch a glimpse of that boy but he seemed to be invisible most of the times.. The only time when he showed any emotions were when it was related to their mom.. Else he wore a mask of anger and hatred for the world to see..
The sister urged her brother to let go of the past and move on.. But was unable to convince him to do so..
If she ever talked to him about love.. about finding that one person without whom you cannot live, he dismissed her calling her talks stupid.. telling her that he lived his live with brain and not heart..
Then came a girl, smiling, laughing, spreading happiness around who touched a chord in the brother's heart.. They hated each other from the first instance.. But gradually something started growing gradually..The sister noticed the changes this girl brought to his life.. She noticed his softening for the girl, his possessiveness for her and was happy..
But to her surprise, one fine day, the brother married this girl and brought her as his wife.. The sister was hurt to the core.. but tried to come to terms with the situation.. The sister was unaware of the truth behind the hasty marriage.. She was oblivious to the fact, that this forced marriage was to protect her marriage and family, which would have been shattered otherwise.. His and the girl's sacrifice went unnoticed..
The girl was able to win everybody's heart and she helped the girl to understand her brother.. She told her
"Aap ko pata hai, bach pan se chhote ko sabse zyaada kis cheez se dar lagta hai. Woh cheez se jo na kabhi unse hoti hai,, na ho paayegi! laad karna, pyaar karna pasand nahi hai unko..Pyaar kar to sakte hain lekin jata nahi sakte. itne saalon baad hummare pyaar ki aadat ho gayi hai unko"
She noticed the deep love her brother had for his wife but was not willing to accept it.. She tried to make her brother look inside himself and find his true feelings for his wife..
This story as you must have guessed by now is of none other than
Chhote and his di..
they lovingly recite the following lines which they wrote for each other
"toffee se meethi hai, Imli se khatti hai,
Khatti meethi hai teri kahaani, Anjali di hai sabse sayaani"
"papad ka tukda hai, jab dekho ukhda hai.
deta hai apni di ko aanssoon mote mote, woh hai gusse waala humaara chhote"
Last raksha bandhan when Anjali left the house and Arnav went looking for her.. He told her the most beautiful lines a brother could ever say which expressed his deep affection for his sister..
" Di main badtameez duniya ke lie hoon, aapke liye nahi. Mera gussa auroin ke liye jaayaz hai, aap ke liye kabhi nahi..Mujhe iss duniya se koi matlab nahi hai di.. Meri duniya toh aap ho, bas aap mujhe kabhi ma ki tarah chod ke chali mat jaana.."
This raksha bandhan a storm has come in Anjali's life.. And the actions of her brother who always swore to protect her world, have disrupted her world.. Her faith in his brother though shaken a bit is still maintained.. She is faced with momentary doubts of her importance in her brother's life.. but so far he has been able to reassure her..
When asked what she wanted for rakhi, she said she only wanted her chhote to be there with her forever.. She does not need anything else..
This raksha bandhan.. despite all the turmoils in her life, Her chhote was able to bring a smile to her face... She was so happy that for the first time she felt that if their mom was with them then, she would have been proud of him. He did not let her finish her sentence and told her.. You are there and that's enough for me!
Every time I see the depth of love these two share, I am so touched.. These 2 truly have a very beautiful relationship.. In our lives we will always face some challenge and adversities.. things will always shake our beliefs.. but what happens in the end matters.. A fragile relationship will not be able to wither the storm, but a deep bond like the one Arnav and Anjali share, will survive everything.. They may lose each other for some time, but there will always be an invisible thread of love which will bind them together.. and no matter how far they go from each other.. it will help them find their way back to each other!
I loved today's episode.. It was a perfect tribute to this brother-sister duo.. Their love and affection was visible through out the episode.. I loved the scene where Anjali tied rakhi on her chhote's wrist.. The way he looked at her with so much love and adoration.. was simply superb.. I was stumped..
Love
