What a wonderful world!

I miss you, bro!

Miss you, bro, but surely know
within hearts, our bindings grow!

Those of you who've read my poem know of these two lines. I'll tell you the story behind it today."Worlds apart" .

It was the 30th of september, 1993. Me, my brother Mahmud, and my parents went to spend a vacation at our village home that september. We really had a grand time. My brother, who was 17 back then, and I was 9. He was my best friend. At that time he was the only one who used to spend a major part of his day with me, the others were busy with studies and other stuff usually.

My brother was supposed to go to the USA, his flight was on the 5th of october. So, my mom just wanted to make him familiar with urban life, but he did not want to go to the village. "What if I die, Ma?" he used to say. But Mom just laughed his words off.

...rest later.
