My brother took a break from his packed schedule and came over to help me sort my finances. He gave me sound, practical advice, and as always, I was awed by him. I’m so proud of him. He’s not just smart—he explains things with incredible patience, at least to me.
He’s a self-made man. I still remember him at 18, waking up before dawn for college. If he could, he’d come home for a quick lunch before rushing to his part-time computer job, returning only late at night. (amusedly his boss did not know much about computers and it was my brother who helped and learnt alongside him. His boss who is now his best friend, , has a thriving business related to computers) This was the late 80s, when computers were just making their foray into India.
I’m proud because even then, he gave a portion of whatever little he earned to my mom. That was when Amma finally breathed a small 'financial 'sigh of relief ❤️🙏
He was just 10 when my father had his heart episode. He pedalled his bicycle as fast as he could to find someone with a car to help. I’ll never forget the fear and worry on his little face.
Last year, this time, when Srikanth was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis, he was in complete denial. 'not possible, the doctors are lying. Bhavaji has clean life style unlike us'. He was here with me during transfering of Srikanth's.mortal remains to the hospital for body donation and i am ever grateful for that 🙏
While clearing Srikanth’s files recently, I found a stack of unattended stocks and shares. He had reluctantly invested at my father’s behest for about five years before we lost track of them completely. When I asked my brother for advice, he said he first needed to drive his new car to our Kuldevata temple in Goa with Amma. “I’ll visit mom and then come to you, and we’ll sort it,” he told me.
It was four hectic days, but we managed to finish 75% of the work. The rest, I can handle 👍🙏
Malavika or akka , whom he loving calls as akkumbe is his favorite amongst all and he will not listen to my complaints against her, even a small one 😁😁
My only grouse is that he’s a bit lacking in humility. Yet with him, I find I can forgive it 🙂.
ಯಾರದೇ ಕೆಟ್ಟು ಕಣ್ಣು ತಾಗದಿರಲಿ..🧿
I’m grateful for my family 🙂🙂👍❤️ and i find that i dont essily let any one inside this circle...( i think of ಘಾಚರ್ ಘೋಚರ್)
