My father took this photo in 1983 in our living-room in Meerut, India:![]()
Its hard to believe I’m the girl in the photo and its even harder to believe that the boy in the photo holding my hand is my big-bro.
Truth be told, I dominated our childhood. Oh yes, I was faster, I was stronger, I was bolder, I was definitely louder and most certainly less-shy than him (…perhaps because I was born to my Hardcore-Sandhu-Dad while he was born to my sweet-Mangat-uncle. It was Sandhu v. Mangat and we all know who wins that matchup
)
I’d beat him up at everything we’d play, I’d always drink milk while he’d run from it(that’s why I’m tall and ur barely tall Gaggz), but I always cherished having him in my life since he was the closest thing I had to a sibling. Needless to say, I miss the innocent days of our childhood!
Things have slightly changed over the course of twenty-seven years. Yup, the shy-kid, I used to absolutely dominate in childhood, well, he somehow managed to do a lot of things before me in life. First of all, he made it into this world before me (by 3-months), he (obviously) learnt to cross his legs before me, he then apparently learnt to love before me and now he had a kid before me… WoW!
I’ve been a little behind Gaggy but I want you to know that I’m proud to be following in your footsteps… and I have some serious catching-up to do now
I took this picture in February of 2011 at Gaggy&Panna’s House in Bombay, India:
To my bro Gaggy and his wife Panna-pabhi, Congratulations on the birth of your first child. . . I can’t wait to meet my newest niece, Miss Nyssa Sukhpreet Mangat!!!
♥, me
