I never really get tired of being fascinated by this.
Few days ago I happened to see a conversation between two people 'N' and 'S' on twitter.
I din't understand much of the conversation though it was in english!. It was a language only they could understand. There was something so intricately personal in that conversation. It was the language of the siblings.
What makes such relationships real? Why does a sibling understand our life so well? Why do they relate to you better than anybody else? Why does the sibling voice on the other side of the phone give the calm assurance? The assurance that he/she will understand our lives and our language much better than anybody else.
Can friends ever speak the same language as the siblings? I presume yes! Friends surely and with time will definitely understand things in our lives much better. They may even sometimes understand the problems faced at that time better than the sibling. But life in its entirety can only be understood by the siblings just because they know it all.
They know it all. They know the nosey aunty you hate. They know the childhood crush you never revealed your parents. They know the small misunderstandings between the parents. They know the financial conditions of the family. They understand your dad and mom and the neighbour and his family and the dad's friend and his dog you hate and everybody and everything in the same context as you have understood. And just because of that they understand life in its entirety.
I call him 'bro'! Or 'boss'. And every time we talk to each other, I challenge you to come and listen to our conversation. And I promise you, most of what we speak will be gibberish. For he understands me and my life and my language better than anybody else in the world.
