Overheard a conversation between a kid n his Mom while I was browsing through in a shopping mall. A kid would be of 4 to 5 conversing with his Mom
Kid: Mom, why don’t I have brother? (After asking the same question for several times his Mom replied annoyingly)
Mom: I have told you not to ask such silly questions. (Her reply really shocked me!!! Is this the way you reply back to your kid on such questions!!)
Kid: But Jay (may be kid's fren) has brother. I also want brother to play with me.
Mom: having brother means you have to share your toys, clothes, chocolates everything with him…..
I left the place to make my payment done so don’t know rest but it really shocked me. Is this what young parents learn from the books on parenthood or it is the demand of time to have only a single child to live life with less burden!!! Whatever it is but the worst part was the approach of that leady towards her son’s innocent question.
“Having brother means you have to share your toys, clothes, chocolates everything with him…..” how one can define bond of sibling in such words!!!!
Rather having sibling means sharing your childhood and adulthood with your best buddy with whom you love sharing not only toys and chocolates but all your silly to serious talks, confusions, with whom you love to fight, whom you dominate at the same you love to be dominated, sibling is the one who knows your all ins and outs, who is the one somewhat understands you the most, with whom you grow up and live one of the best days of childhood, at younger age he is your buddy to play with you, in adulthood your pal to support and guide you….
Really feel glad to have my brother with whom life has been great living. Bond with him is not just possible to describe in words. Being a girl you don’t come across many boyish things in your life but that is your brother who shows you the world through his eyes. Today many things I know about sports, finance, practicality is because of my brother. Whether its F1 racing to meaning of ACE in tennis, names of WWF wrestlers, booms and dooms of stock market to pravachans on becoming practical and strong in life , I got to know because of my brother.
I love uttrayan because my brother is crazy for the fest and wants me to be with him to hold his ‘firki’, I love Diwali because my brother protects me when I get afraid of blasting crackers, I watch sports on TV because he answers all my sports related silly questions, I try bike riding because he balances the pulsar while I drive, he never says no to me whatever I demand to eat whether its ice-cream at late night or trying out new restaurant….
I never realized when my younger brother became elder than me through his care, nature and act towards me.Today I feel m younger than him and he pampers my kiddies acts at the same scolds me for my mistakes. He fights with me for the TV remote at the same takes me out for the long drive too. I look up to him for advice. I really admire his thoughts,maturity,nature,knowledge,skills oh d list is going on...I find him the supportive pillar of my life who understands me so well.
I still remember it was really a tough situation when my brother moved to another city for higher studies and after living together for 20 years, the time came when we have to live distantly. But it is just a physical distance, through phone, sms,internet and in our heart we have always been connected. Distance has not brought any coldness in our relationships.In fact now we miss each other more. I wait dates to stop at his vacations so he can come back home and we have a great family moments.
Whether its brother-brother, sister-sister or brother-sister, Sibling gives you the joy of saying he/she is MY brother/sister...... with full of love.
