Dai is a word used to for an elder brother in nepal. This word is casually used by people for men slightly older than them. I too use it pretty often. It shows respect at the same time binds a relationship between the two people and this is how two strangers become almost family.
But whenever i think about the word 'My dai', one person's name pops to my head. And that is my sachin dai :).
People might think it is so because he is my biological brother but the strange part is we are not siblings or related in anyway. We live in totally different places, and we met through twitter :D
I know this might sound lame but we hav not met eachother either. But that is the beauty of this relationship. Without even meeting eachother we hav this instant connection like siblings do. Its almost telepathic. There are times when i hope he comes online and he just pops up in chat with a 'baini'(referred to younger sister in nepali)
I dont knw how or why but its like we were destined to be siblings but ended up in totally different places. The weird fact is that i dont hav a brother because my mum lost her first child. She was 7 months pregnant. She got high fever and lost her first baby. Since it was already 7 mnths they knew the gender, it was a boy. In other words i lost a brother who never even entered this world.
When i started talking to sachin dai it felt like talking to somebody i had known my entire life. If my brother was alive he would be almost the same age as him :) . That makes this relationship a tad bit more magical.
He is just amazing :). Pulls me right back up when i am down inspires me to do stuff and cares for me. He is one of those pillars that is holding me from crashing down to the ground. No matter what other people say i love him dearly and i belive he loves me too.
To my dai
From your baini :) thank you for everything dai
