He has always given me lots of reasons to cry.
When we were little children, he always pestered me, made fun of me and irritated me. I, being a cry baby, would start wailing at the drop of a hat. One instance being my ignorance of English and his flair for the language. He earned a lot of wrath from the senior folks but Arun, being Arun, never once deterred from what he loved to do.
We grew up a little and I learned English; he switched to Kannada. I was still a cry baby and that made matters easy for him.
We grew up a lot more and he would still make me cry with his unending stock of jokes. I would laugh and laugh and laugh till I cried. He would seize the chance and still irritate me with that bear hug of his.
And yet again, he has given me a reason to cry; one that would last an entire lifetime.
I would do anything to meet him once, just once, to hug and tell him that I love him more than he ever loved the mountains.
