Bloody bond

No matter how much I hate the banter on the various radio stations the truth is that sometimes they really do play good music. Last night when I was on my way back from office, they were playing 'Rhoot ke humse kabhi... from Jo Jeeta....the song brought back a flood of memories.

Is it really possible for siblings to grow apart so much after a certain age that it sometimes becomes difficult to imagine that you actually came from the same home?

Some once told me that the person closest to you after your mother is your sibling. Its probably true. Afterall you might not have a choice here but thats the only person you share the womb with.

I wonder if anyone remembers the first time they see their bother/sister, I mean does the first time ever register...

You grow up in the same house, share chocolates (in my case bone- marrows), learn the first smattering of hi-fi sounding words, share secrets and sometimes, aspire in more ways than one to be like the other person...

And then one day things change, you go different ways and when you at times pause to think, you wonder is this the same person you shared so much with?

I guess it happens with all relationships...but the song reminded me of just this one...
