when i started writing to my cousin in india, he used to always say hi then my name. he was in new york last year. my mom persuaded him to visit california, but he didnt get time. when i went there to visit him, i spent three days with them then he persuaded me to visit india. a week later, i sent him an email notifying him i got my driver's licence then he replied asking "are you guys planning to visit india???" but i never got back to him until august. my sister had to go to india for her job. when we notified my family, my cousin called us back the following day and asked my mom to tell me to send him her contact info. when i sent it, he replied "hope you guys are able to come with her....look forward to see you all....ccheerrsss" but i didnt write back saying i wasnt coming. when my sister went to india, my cousin called me. he asked my mom when i can come and she told him when i have vacation then he told me he was looking forward to seeing me as well, then i told him i got busy and he said "omg! everyone is busy." in march, i wrote to him for a religion festival. i sent to him when he had the day off, when he went to office on monday morning, he replied "Happy holi to all of you, we had gone for a vacation. hope you also had a colorful time too. cheers." end of april, he called me and said he might come visit me. when he came, he was in new york for three weeks then he came to visit me for five days. he took a 7 am flight from new york to california then went back to india from california. they took a late evening flight. after they left, i realized that they did all that because they wanted to spend time with me so that i remember them. on friday was india's independence day and i sent him an email and he replied "great to hear from you. how have u and buiji been. did u manage to pick up a job? we are having fun today all dressed up in tricolors. give my regards to all..............cheers." today is raksha bandhan and i called india. my cousin picked up the phone. when i told him who it was, he said hi. then i said happy rakhi then he said "thanks a lot." when i gave the phone to my mom, his wife came on the phone. is he mad at me for not going to india last year? why would someone from india take a 7 am flight from new york to california? could it be my cousin was busy when i called him? he told me i can write to him once twice a month. when i spoke to him, i didnt really get a chance to answr any of his questions. can someone tell me honestly if my cousin is mad at me? when he came to visit me, the first thing he asked me was what i am doing that i am busy all the time. when i told him everything, he looked me straight in the eye and was able to tell i was making excuses. should i reply to my cousin's email sometime next week?
