Come what may. We fight, we laugh and cry, all that while knowing we will always remain each others constants. I lucked out in that department and how! He's today my strength, my confidant and the boy who never shy's away from calling me out when I've done something stupid or something even more stupid than the first stupid thing. Haha. Happy #rakshabandhan to all the siblings out there."
