Who is blessed?

My younger brother's marriage happened 3 months before mine and my sister-in-law was at home for almost a month. She was born and brought up in Pondicherry, working as a teacher in a Govt school. So, she was juggling between Chennai and Pondi. Those were the golden moments in my life. We used to pick up a fight for every other thing at home, and my brother would judge us. You know the result already - he will take her side.. ( it has to be naturally ).

It was that day in Jan 2008, when she was confirmed pregnant. U know, the house was like heaven, calls pouring in, no one at home knew what they were doing, the first in our family... there are no words to explain this now, you have to undergo that to know how it was..

When the angel was born in Sep 2008, our happiness knew no bounds, as she was the first girl child after 75 yrs in our family. She still carries and has to carry all the attention from us. But what is the use?

She is in Pondy and we in Chennai. No one at home is able to enjoy her play, she is not here to cry, she is not here to laugh, she is not here to throw the things out of their place, she is not here to slap me, she is not here to bite my nose, she is not here to console me with a kiss when i am burnt or when i am sad.

Leave alone all the blessings the lord showers on us, there is no blessing without the angel around. She is the world to us at home, but she is not around. Wealth, health, prosperity etc etc.. are not the real blessings showered. It is this happiness and the one dearest to your heart, which has to happen, to show that you are really blessed.

None of the elders at home, neither the angel's dad and mom, know how it is to me, when she is not around. It is a blessing in disguise to see your children grow, but none at home are blessed.. that way, i am a loser.. Dont you think so? That way, i think all at home, are cursed.. what say you?
