For my brother
Himanshu,
I do not say this on ordinary days, so I am saying it on this one.
You are the brother I am glad was born into our house. The festivals, the noise, the photographs we keep taking, the way a room changes when you walk into it. I notice it more than I tell you.
May this year be kind. May the work go well, the people you love stay close, and the wish you just made find its way to you. If a day gets heavy, you still have a sister. That part does not expire.
Happy birthday.
Yours, Sailee
