For all the times I carried u in my arms singing stupid make-up-your-words-as-you-sing-along-lullabies until you wriggled out;
For all the times you caught frogs and I pleaded with you to set them free;
For all the times we traded a thousand insults with each other, as we did bites and scratches and kicks and screams, until Mum spanked us both;
For all the times you tagged along with my gang, and I with yours until we grew up and wanted our own space;
For all the times we woke up Mum from her afternoon nap playing Housie and Superman under the TV table;
For all the times you broke all the beds in the house pretending to be a grenade-launching-army-soldier-attacking-pakistan;
For all the times we conversed in our secret-sibling-language and laughed and laughed until our tears flowed;
For all the times we acted silly, gesturing, mimicking and generally fooling around;
For all the times we snitched on the other to Mum and Dad;
For all the times we sang out loud 'Haiyya-Haiyya-Ho' in trains;
For all the times we finished each other's food;
For all the times we hid our favourite books from each other,
For all the times we made secret pacts and bribed each other to ask for gifts from our parents for the other;
For all the times we did a millions things together and not together and bickered and loved and slapped and kicked;
For all the times I will remember until my heart is ready to burst with pride and admiration and pure love for you - Here is a Happy Birthday Wish.
