Mom, dad, brother and me!

Yeah one big (big in terms of the size of people!! Including me all well above their limits) happy family!! Probably it's the same story everywhere but I like to believe mine is as unique as it can get - a supercool dad with whom u can discuss your first love, a conservative but protective mom who protects you from the blazing rage of an angry dad (at times when you are wrong), a brother who fights with you to decide who bats first and at times teams up with you to get permission for a movie during exam time!
So yes I do have a unique and loving family which may be very envious to a lot of people in the world!
Today i sit out in the open, with cool wind in my hair! Enjoying the lovely weather of my beautiful hometown of Kochi! Sadly out in open is outside the multi-specialty hospital! Dad had a cerebral hemmarage a couple of days back! He is out of danger and is recovering well and is out of the ICU as well. If not reached in time could have culminated in paralytic stroke! God at times gives people enormous amount strength and courage which is usually absent or is assumed absent! That's what happened to my mother and that's what saved my dad! Both my brother and I don't stay in kochi! It was all mom and god! She handled it the best way possible! Anyways what this did (I assume may be too early) is that it brought close a pack of cards which was lying scattered - career, wife kids and health and spirituality and all that creeps in to push each other out and struggle for complete dominance! Seldom we realize that all this can go hand in hand! But if we knew life would have been so boring!
Relationships are something which one needs to work upon ('cliché' I know) but what we forget is we can work with it as well! One's gain may not necessarily mean other's loss!
A son suddenly becomes not just a son, or just a brother or just a husband! He becomes all of them and then starts the fun!
A son becomes a crawling kid, a rebellious teenager, a spendthrift working bachelor!
A caring parent, an over interfering parent, a paranoid parent, an expecting parent!
Sometimes it feels an overtly overwhelming complication that needs to be tackled! (surprising that I am phrasing it with words like tackle and complication! Words that are scripted by the brain though would prefer those from the heart for a subject like this one!) and tackled rightly giving due importance and priority!
I don't think a set rule or a golden rule will suffice as there is none right now! Probably one gets better at this as he lives his life and learns to behave or develops a behavior. Hence I believe behavior is an art and it's no science!
An art that paints a beautiful picture that calls itself life in which dad, mom, brother and me are happy at each of our last scene!
