"...you can't pinpoint the moment where a friendship tranforms into a bond.. a relationship. like a rishtedaari - family thing."



"Rishtedaari is a family bond, or what one would do for another when one becomes part of a family -- when friendships transcend to become family relations."

=================================

My thanks to methinks and Divya, two women from India who recently introduced me to a concept I've known for years -- I just didn't have a word for it.

This is my sister Ericka, and we know all about Rishtedaari.

=================================
For you Sis --

"...I remember thinking
Sometimes we walk
Sometimes we run away
But I know
No matter how fast we are running
Somehow we keep
Somehow we keep up with each other

I'll be - falling all about my own thing
And I know - you're the heaviest weight
When your not here
That's hung around my head

And your lips burn wild
Thrown from the face of a child
And in your eyes
The seeing of the greatest view
Do what you will, always
Walk where you like, your steps
Do as you please, I'll back you up..."
