Hi. My di just celebrated her 25th birthday and so I wanted to write something about her here. Not that i need to because she already knows how much she means to me (she really knows me better than i know myself). 
Besides, I'm a real kanjus makkhichus and never have enough money to get a decent gift for her (I always end up buying chocolates) and so last year i wrote a letter to her. I intended it to be a nice, feel-good letter, but it made her cry. In fact, it made my father cry as well (don ask me why, i have no idea 
)
So this time (now that I know what a blog is) Im writing this for her. She was four years old when i was born. And she had really wanted a younger brother...actually, an elder brother. (She had the weirdest idea that a brother would be born and would, in some inexplicable manner, become an elder bro 
) So the poor thing was so disheartened when she heard that she had a younger sister instead.
However, she grew to become my "dummy" (that's what i call her: "didi" + "Mummy" = dummy ). She and I together spent the first years of my life at my Naani-house, because Papa was often transferred and Ma and my bro were with him. She was and still is like my second mom. She beats me, shouts at me and is very mean sometimes (actually, now that I come to think about it 
, most of the time 
). And of lately u really have been shouting too frequently at me, ok and u gotta agree to that 
. And whenever we have a fight, which is like...ummmm...about once in a year, I am the one who apologises 
.
But she is the one I run to whenever i have a problem (much to her annoyance 
). And she is my counsellor. My elocution and debate teacher (she used to train me for these competitions in school). My tuition teacher (she taught me when I was young and I teach kids the way she taught me). My critic (she tells me on my face that i am an idiot ). My discussion board (we have such intellectual discussions sometimes..) . My partner in midnight snacks. My PR executive cum lawyer (usually taking my side in arguements with parents). My fellow conspirator (does not need to be explained hehe ). And I am so thankful I have her because I can't sleep alone in the dark!
So, Di, as u kno, I love u very much. Happy birthday. And thanks for always being with me. Love you!! 
P.S.: Maybe you could also write some nice things about me on my birthday. Hehe
