whenmy cousin heard my sister was coming, i didnt inform him i wasnt coming. he called me up on the day he met her. i told him i got busy and he replied "omg! everyone is busy. i feel bad because when my sister came back from india, my cousin bought me a jewelry box, bangles, a blanket, and a shawl then this year he came to visit me for five days with his wife and 2 sons. the day after i finished my college, he called me from new york to say hi and wanted to catch up. what really surprised me though was when he came to visit, the very first thing he asked me was what i'm doing that i'm busy all the time. when i told him everything, he looked at me and was able to tell i was making excuses. a week after they went back to india, i sent him a picture from their visit on his personal email. four days later, he replied "we miss the fun and action we had there." i wrote to him on his office email for india's independence day and he replied me within two minutes and replied "great to hear from you." then i called him two days later for another religious holiday and he said "hi p." now i am starting to remember them. is it me or am i hurting my cousin's feelings when i keep saying i'm busy when i'm not. do u think he is happy i remembered him for two occassions? i wrote to him on his personal email in rgds to the new delhi bombs but didnt hear back. i'm wondering if he is pretending to be busy or is he really busy? i want to write to him for diwali but i'm not sure if he will like it or not. when he came to visit, he came me his personal email so i can send him pictures. send me ur honest feedback
