Silent Hero

Today is a very special day in the yearly calender. Well, at least in mine. Today is a day which honours one of the most, if not the most, amazing and influential people in my life. She is my rock, my reason to be as awesome as I can be. She is my soul. No, I am not gay....she is my best friend, my younger sister, my 'Silent Hero'. =) Disha Korla, the world's best sister and sibling, without a doubt. The date: 23rd August, 2007...her 14th Birthday. And this post, oh Toadstool, is just for you: A tribute, a more personalised gift, a necessity. You are everything I need in a sister, and a friend, and so much more. Without you, I am truly nothing. Though of course, I can shed my modesty for a minute and go on to say that you aren't much without me either but, hahahaha....anyway. ;)

Disha, is the best thing that could have ever happened in my life. If she wasn't born I would be far from where I am and what I am today. Without her, nothing would be the same, there would be a whole new void inside of me and in my world. Without her, I would most definitely cease to exist and even if I did, what existence is that which is a dead one. I would be dead inside, unable to function...soulless and incomplete. You think I'm going a bit extreme, right? Well, you're wrong. I have known Disha all my life, obviously and she has been unbelievable, almost too good to be true. For those of you who claim to know Disha, 99% of you actually don't know her at all. Some of you would probably describe her as a class clown, with a 'whatever-type' and ignorant attitude towards kids who annoy her and an awesome attitude to those she knows. But, guess what, you're only half right. She would help anyone of those "annoying kids", if they ever needed it. Beneath that seemingly tough exterior lies an extremely pure and angelic soul. Hard to believe? Yea, a few years ago...I probably would have agreed with you. However, now I am in awe and in complete appreciation of her. Many people ask us if we ever fight, and can't believe that the answer is no, mainly. But, it's true. Over the past few years, Disha and I have formed this everlasting and enigmatic yet beautiful bond that only the most special of friends and sisters can have. And since I have gotten to open up to her and confide in her, my life has become so much less of a pain and more of a mathematical problem...one which with effort, concentration, focus and healthy discussion can be unravelled within minutes. Truly fabtacular!

Whenever, I feel like my world has come crashing down on me in a gigantic landslide. She was there to show me the way and pick up the pieces. When I was unreasonable and unhappy, she stood by my side and took the brunt of it all. When I whined or complained, she listened. When I was over the moon and ecstatic, she was there sharing my joy, even at the risk of masking her own misery. When I need her advice, her opinion, she stopped all her high priority work and helped me out without a sound. Occasionally, she can be annoying and somewhat unreasonable, but who isn't...and with all the support and help she has given me she deserves to be.

Forget me, she has helped so many people without them even knowing it. She has saved my life everyday just being there to lend a hand, an ear or a shoulder. No matter how absolutely shocking or boring an issue or complaint, she listens and helps people, and loves them unconditionally. The best part of it all is she never judges you. She may pull your leg but, it's all in jest and her humour is one of her strongest qualities, apart from bravery, intelligence, geniosity, patience, diligence, a positive attitude, compassion and so much more. I mean it's amazing how some people go unnoticed despite being better than your more obvious hero. It's true. Even though she is one of the most popular people in our school, she is hardly given the recognition she deserves and despite being a victim of so much injustice and underhandedness, she always emerges the bigger person and the victor. In the face of adversity, she is so calm and composed that one can't help but stare in awe of her maturity and dignified personality. I, for one, really look up to her and have learnt so much from her that leaving her now is so friggin' hard. I mean what will I do without her!

She knows some of my most deep and cherished secrets and if I don't have her with me, I would probably explode. Sometimes I wish I was as awesome as she is, I wish I could have been as magnanimous and understanding. I wish I was as open-minded and intelligent as she is. I hope I was. I hope I am. I hope I will be. I hope I can be...I could go on forever about her, but what I really want to say is:

Disha, you're may favourite quirky idiot =P with a stupid manatee face and self obsession. I'll never forget your 'Burn in Hell', your chubbiness, your insults and gay remarks, your hot and sexy self poses, your randomness, the Double D's (LOL!), our stud wannabe escapades, our band sessions, my lame-ass moments which you always just happen to be present for, your awesomeness, your 'endra'-ness, your toadstoolness, your high pitched whining when we have that rare argument, and oh so much more!

Disha, we love you. Each and every one of us. And even though we may all have our own reasons, we are grateful to you, our saviour, our friend, our 'Silent Hero'. Thank you and...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Love ya, kiddo! ;)

May you rock on always. If you ever need anything, know that I am always there for you....no matter what and I mean it...=)
