Have you seen a guy really really close to another guy? Wait, they aren’t brothers. Oh, goodness, wait again, both are straight. It’s called as “Bromance”. Do the math and you’ll know that its “Bro+Romance”. A guy thing doesn’t take a long time to develop. Its quick, short and just needs a little-er time of togetherness and stuff doing like all the other relations. And so, with a little garnish of time over the whole soup of issues, the formation completes and forms a simple chemistry between the two.

Brothers from another sector of life, another piece of pizza. They all move together through. Another aspect is that they require much less wavelength sync for the sync to happen. Very little base understanding for the whole thing to bomb up. And off it goes, spiraling forward.

The bond between two guys is simple, unexpecting and timeless. You don’t need to send him a daily good morning message or ask him how he was, what he had eaten and all sorts. The link thrives, irrespective of time, silent yet live and throbbing. You needn’t wish him first on his birthday; instead you make sure everyone knew. He wouldn’t ask what went wrong, if something did, but he’d know it very well and he’d make sure you need to know what to do. Such so, it lives.

The meanings of the words jealousy and possessiveness and others get redefined. There develops an imaginary cauldron of resources where one can grab stuff from. And what is in it doesn’t belong only to either one.

This bond is more like a sniff in the air around a beautiful aroma, sweet, soft and mild yet from a robust source, enchanting and enticing. Being guys, they don’t expect much from each other, they don’t get the first piece of the cake when birthdays get over, but they would have been the one who organized the whole surprise. They don’t expect words and gifts telling them they are special, they know it doesn’t matter.

Whenever you looked at your bro who you had a crush for, you feel full. You would get the sucked up gut feeling in your gut. You would want to shout out loud, like for everyone to hear, I LOVE YOU bro. And that’s sweet bromance.

There you had a brilliant relation develop, lasting longer and maybe forever too. Pull a guy closer, and see how it feels. But I dare say, express your feelings properly, he might land up making wrong conclusions wondering whether if you were straight.

To Pangali and the Test of time.
