today 40 days ago.............

Today,40 days ago on July29,2008 my youngest brother Prabhdeep Singh died in a car accident on Hoadley Road. He was only 13 years old. He was the joker of our family,he kept everyone going with his childish antics. It was fun being with him cause he was such an energetic boy always running up and down,never sitting still for more than a few minutes and ofcourse devouring all the junk food the day it was brought home from the grocery store. I vividly remember the day I got to know that he had been born. I immediately started squabbling around with my younger brother saying," oh its a sister ! i got a new sis! haha". I was so eager to have a new sister that I didnt prepare myself for the fact that it might be a brother. I eagerly bought a pink baby suit for him and wrapped it myself ( I was only 6 years old then). When I got there I immediately went to my mum and said," Her name is gonna be prabhleen!".Everybody around me started laughing and I remember looking at everyone with a bewildered look,cause after all it was my sister so what was wrong with naming her?"
It was then mum told me that it wasnt a sister but a brother. I blinked my eyes twice and looked at the sleeping bundle in my mum s arms and said,"but he looks like a girl! plus I bought the baby a pink dress so IT has to be a girl!". But it was a brother. The days after that I would spend every waking moment with my cute brother who looked like a girl..... holding him,learning how to feed him with a bottle and eveything else. When Prabh grew up to be a toddler and learned how to walk he started walking around my doll house, in other words he liked it so much that he would spend his time walking around it than doing the guy stuff that my brother was trying to teach him. It did please me, but only for a few days because after that he would go to my dollhouse and sit on it and watch my reaction with this goofy smile plastered on his face. He looked like a devilish angel but nevertheless an angel. So till the day we moved out of our apartment and went to India prabhdeep continued to sit on my doll house and break it tirelessly while I would keep on building it tirelessly.But I still loved him.
He was this cherub with this chubby face who loved running around with his hand on his right ear and would love slapping my brother with his soft hand with another one on his right ear.......... He always made me smile...........always.
