Whenever small kids shower a brimming smile to me
My heart dances in the air
Their chirpy voices, innocent souls, cute & lovely smiles, naughtiness
Brings back my amazing childhood memories.....
The innocent me when I saw my little brother for the first time on the cradle of a hospital room
I still remember how happy I felt seeing that kiddo looking around his surrounding in mere astonishment
But to my surprise When I tried to see him
He cried out aloud
For he seemed to recognize his naughty elder sibling...
Who had a hidden box of jealousy instilled in me by my cousins who were their parents first child
The experience they shared with me... made me feel insecure about myself when a younger new one will arrive
However the truth was I forgot all these at the first sight of the "handle with care" cute baby
But now my mind wandered over that insulting reaction I got from the new family member
And so I asked my parents "Are you really sure this is my own little brother? And if so why doesn't he resemble me? Why don't we have any similarities of being siblings?"
Initially everyone present at the hospital room were surprised to what they heard from a three old me and my thoughts
Finally, someone broke the ice and told me " You looked more cute than your bro on the day you came in our lives!"
This made my day and I was more eagerly awaiting to get back home with my little bro so that we could play all day.
Today, it's been over 23 years of togetherness, sibling, friendships, surprises, fun, laughter, enemies, fights, jealousy, anger, tears, joy, support, etc.
A few years ago....
An incident I had experience can never be erased from my memories
It was one of the lowest times in my life
Mom was scolding me on top pf her voice
Dad did too - the only difference being he used the tool of silence
My little bro- you were the one who stood beside me and said so easily
"Why are you crying? Please don't be sad
If you can face this much and still succeed on more than a majority
Then the ones you couldn't succeed this time are just a few that could be countable on fingers"
I stopped crying since your words made sense
I was astonished to hear those mature words were coming from the younger one- in age as well as experience
Well, you made me even doubt whether I'm your elder or you are elder to me!
Today, I miss you, my dear little brother
Hope you doing fine and be always healthy and happy
I wish you lots of success and fame
Love you lots, God Bless you!
