Day 2 B: The Boyfriend Recombobulation
I was the most studious out of the three. My brother’s little or no interest in studying used to give my Mom nightmares. The only future that she could envisage for him was as a roadside cobbler. But that was 15 years ago.
These days my brother is busy doing this
(that’s my kid brother)
and this
and the view out of his room is this.
He studied veterinary science, saved injured Owls, treated cows and dogs and now is an Army Officer, posted in one of the scenic places in India. Yeah, adventure is part and parcel of his job.
While the most adventurous activity that I get to do is kill cockroaches in my home, while my system throws nerve wracking Java null pointer exceptions, in every code I try to compile. A software engineer can always be recognized by a humongous potbelly, which I dreadfully foresee as my future.
Our conversations send me into an abyss of eternal retrospection. *dramatically looks towards the horizon*
“What’s up Di”, my bro would ask.
“Nothing much…. Working on a Saturday, fixing defects that I have no clue about. Will grab a crabby dinner on the way back”, I reply, sulking. “What about you?”
“Ohh not as interesting as yours. Just came back from a 10 km run, the clouds look really awesome from here. We have a dinner party in the Mess tonight. One of my friends was a DJ so there’s gonna be some music and dancing too ”.
Grrrr !!! that little brat just loves to rub it on.

The view outside the window is excellent. What readers -not me- might think upon reading these posts is – why did the author of this blog choose to become a software engineer when family members chose sensible careers for themselves 😛
