I want to wish my sister the happiest of all birthdays!!!

Little did I know that 21 years ago when I was born, the little girl with 7 chins, who fast became my partner in crime, who made magic potions and played pharmacy with, who blew smoke into bubbles with (Whoops now Amma knows), who carried me and tripped over 'Saucy' by mistake and ended up with a lost tooth and I a bitten shoulder with, who when I said a bad word but told the mother it was her would get into trouble instead with(hee hee), who watched out for trees that came out of nowhere when we drove the father's truck with, who comforts me when yucky reptiles get too close, who helped me get out of a tricky saree situation after a few too many sickly blue shots (hiccup) with, who knows exactly what to say and do when my body shuts down in anaphylactic melodrama with, or who asked if I'll be growing a moustache for Movember with (side eye),....that life wouldn't get any less adventurous as we grow and grow....how old are we again?!?

She is a SPECIAL sister, friend, pharmacist, allergist, physiotherapist, contact lens specialist, questionable comedian, nutritionist, daughter, massage therapist, pain in the bum, midnight call partner, drunk buddy, person who sleeps lightly so she can always be there for people around the clock through thick and thin, elaborate storyteller and award-winning conversationalist "Hmm...Hmm...", weird lover of animations, insane quiz master, fruit salad player (rolling eye emoji), Queen of Manchester mayhem, Christmas Chef, Formula 1 freak, sleepy bookworm, herculean nurse to so so many, my one and only Dumbo, and life saver to us all (Literally)!!

As we have grown in life to be older (Hmm Hmm), wiser, and more fabulous with aches and grey hair, my mother, my sister, and I are all best friends. Best friends who laugh 'AT' each other.

I look to my sister for everything in life. I think everybody she knows, does :) Everyone deals with tough things in life, but for me, the quickest cure to making me smile is to spend time on WhatsApp with my mom and sister. Mostly annoying each other, but just bring up who Amma thinks is acting on TV, and you’ll have us all laughing in stitches.

So move over Ghostbusters, we know who we're gonna call! (I haven't watched GOT)

Happy birthday Akki!!!!! I hope you have an amazing birthday. I can’t wait till this pandemic stops being a bastard and I can come home to celebrate with you!

Till very recently I believed Avanti's and my relationship was very unique.

I was always looking forward to seeing her out and about at our local joints waiting for her to scream from the other side of the building "Sexy Savi" and hoping a few females would take notice, which they did. However that sense of false self-esteem quickly disappeared when 5mins later Avanti called out to another dude that just walked in loud as ever 'Sexy whatever his name was".. my ego was crushed and I knew things would never be the same...

Dearest Avanti,

You have the biggest heart in the world. 

Thank you for keeping me in it, dear friend.

Wishing you the very best on your Birthday and May all you hoped and dreams come true

In the 18 yrs I’ve known Avi, she has lost her temper with me only once. And I remind her of that one occasion often. She’s a most even-tempered and tolerant person. And she gets all my jokes, which is probably why she’s lost it only once with me!
