Dear Maddi

Dead Maddi,

So you are married, this is a public letter. I thought it would make for a very good blog. Initially I started to write about nostalgia and sisterhood and what not, but then I decided it sounded rather pretentious - like I was trying to make point which with this rambling stupidity you can tell I am not.

We are old, aren't we not? I remember like it was yesterday when all of us used to fight over what to watch? Whether is was Barney or Power Rangers? If it was Power Rangers it was whole different fight who pretended to be the Pink Ranger (Kimberly) and who was the Yellow Ranger (Trinity) - I was the weird one I always wanted to be Billie the Blue Ranger :D If it wasn't that it was headless-doll sadistic role play you shared with Ono. There were times when you used to pretend to have a Airplane and become hostess, and yes the stairs were our cabin :D There was also Teacher-Teacher, Ghar-Ghar (I wonder why everything was named twice, maybe for reinforcing the idea of it :D)

I wish we all could sit together, jammed right infront of the TV with Shaya's old VCR and watch Lion King once again, or PLAY LionKing too, I never got around the 4th round, never had the patience to climb trees. There was also the keyboard destroying Bubble Bobble - you easily cud climb up the bubble and always wanted to be the green bubble bobble as always you preferred the A, D, X keys then the arrow keys. I never got on the bubble so it was no point to play :D and u always got the good things like Bottle and Umbrella Charm in Bubble Bobble. When it wasn't that it was Tetris and your Brick Game addiction!

We were little rebellious when it came to sleeping time curfew and our mode of rebellion was to hear music on my walkman (Yeh, walkman! real old times) and share the headphones. It was utmost important to us to memorize the lyrics like our life depended on it. Though you are eight months younger then me, you used to pack my bag for school :D

Tea at daddi amaz wasn't complete without the chai-pappa you loved, but the thing is you hate tea so its prolly the rusks only ;D Its also funny how when you were young you loved chocolate and now you have grown up to hate the chocolate icecreams of all brands! and with your silly hot flavor vs cool flavor concept you chose. You were the first person who taught me how to get on a public bus and get to NED :D on the verge of sounding corny its true - I prolly be LOST without u :D Our first journey on public bus is probably the reason we became shopping partners as well :D

Well to make this sappy letter even so I would say - I'd really miss you, I kinda already do :D

I hope you still be my shopping/gossip partner :D

Sisters for life!!

Love,

Anu
