I have an older brother, he is older to me by three years and as life goes he has played a large part in shaping my life. We began as usual siblings fighting , crying hitting and hurting each other. One thing which always happened with him was that since our parents were working he was always given the task to look after me.I think he resented that task because he was not having the opportunity or freedom to do as he wish , but all that i can remember is that he was there every time I needed him. In nights when I woke up from a nightmare searching for comfort he used to wake up to and reassure me. We fought laughed had fun and other things and then the time came when he left for college . I was happy and sad, happy because I was going to take over his room and sad because now there would be no one to fight with me. His college going marked the change in our relationship because of the distance we came to know what we meant to each other and whenever he used to come back in holidays there was always something little for me .He used to tell me stories which happened which he didn't tell mom and dad
He told me first when he got a F on the subject.then came the day when i left for my innings outdoors and guess what whom I called when I had my first fight with my roomies yes my bro . He calmed me down and told me about his roommates and how he dealt with him and most importantly he explained to me that it was not necessary for me to like everyone and vice versa. We grew closer and now he is my best friend
i believe he cares for me a lot or else why would he spend all the money he got as prize in a national tournament so that he could buy me a walkman as I needed it, who will pledge me half his earning just because I am not earning and who will always be ready to hit or punch any guy tries to mess around with me. Yep thats my bro.I was the first person he called when he reached the magic figure of 5 . Earlier I always used to want sister elder one but now I know I wouldn't need one anyhow because I have an older brother. I really feel sorry for people who don't have siblings because they don't know what they are missing because its a special bond we share. he is first person I call when I am in trouble or angry or sad and he is the first person I call when I am happy thank u god for giving me a brother.
Hey Ankie,
ReplyDeleteAt the very begining of this comment I want to say that people who don't have siblings.......have not lived a perfect chilhood!!! Parents are angels whom we get from god but siblings are angels who we get from our parents.........we always talk of friendship........has anyone ever thought that the feeling of trust for a person of same age originated because of our siblings only.......how we used to do mischieves when parents were not home and how we would plead/ threaten our siblings not to inform anybody......how we would fall to scratch our knees and how our siblings would cry for help..........how we would cut fingers and how they would suck the blood oozing out.......The tree of the trust which we have for friends originates out of seeds sown by our siblings....It's a different story that we seldom realize this.............And when we talk of elder brothers then the worst comments will come from boys who befriend sisters of these bossy brothers and that too the worst victims are ones who dare to take this bold step in school life...........Boy o Boy........that boy is dead.........not actually but almost!!!I still remember my friends getting those killing glances and me getting those remarks whenever I'd talk about a male friend! But later when I received scented letters then I knew the reason.....We girls always feel that men try to act bossy but do they do this without no reasons? I don't think so........I think it's because they live with men and they hear the uncensored stuff and they never want their girls to be the target...Isn't it considerate....another example of their consideration reflects when they would borrow money from friends and they would cut on their cigarettes to but us gifts on rakhi or birthday!!!
That's it baby......Will wait eagerly for you next entry!
Stay Kool........
