who is this??
Why mom is always with him?
Why dad pampers him more?
Where did he come from?
These are the thoughts in my head during the initial days..
You have to call him brother, people told me. But no one told me where he came from!
I am just 1 and half year old kid and how will I know?
Hmmmm
as days went by I got used to sharing everything, infact I had to!
I never liked it. Someone who always follows me and demands share in everything!
Horrible!
Wat can I do? No option!
and where did he come from? no one is telling me!!! :(
"Its not going to work this way," I decided one day and started competing with him. Trying to dominate. Attract parents attention and prove to them that i am the best!
Any game i made sure I was the winner.
We used to have coin boxes. The red one is mine and the blue one is his. We would occasionally count coins and I would make sure my box has more coins.
even in studies we were always near somewhere at top 20's :P
I was in 8th and he was in 6th.
and he got 1st rank!
Oh my god, he got first rank and the worst thing is parents are proud of him!
noo!!
This should not happen!
I studied hard the next few days and I secured first rank in the half yearly exams!
First time in my life! I still remember its jan 8th somewhere at 10:30 am and a friend came to me shouting that i got first rank!
From then both of us are toppers in our classes. He 1st or 2nd generally and i am at 5 or 6.
It all considerably leveled now, i thought.
I am in inter 2nd year and he is in 10th. In my house an entire shelf is filled with all the prizes he got and i have none :(
How can i level it?
So i thought , with good eamcet rank its a state wide achievement and studied hard, secured 118 rank. became sort of a hero those days in my family. My ego, sort of satisfied completely now.
Its year 2006, i came out of house and joined Btech.
Everything went on!
There came 2007, one of my fav years! many things happened in my life and in a way i am changed man.
Till then I tried to dominate him whenever i had a chance!
never let go of single chance!
But I loosened my grip. May be ego started dissolving. One thing is for sure, I started looking at him as an equal, a complete equal!
and he stopped this race too! we started being more like friends!
Ohh yeah, his eamcet rank!
state 36th ranker and that too in medicine. this time am not jealousy, proud, very proud!!
One thing is for sure, I love him!!
I am possessive about him, I dont like if someone or something hurts him!
whenever he did some mistake he would call me and talk to me. i would listen and would say "ok".
Now the funniest part is he would call me again and would ask, when i did a mistake y u r not scolding me? why u say just ok?
haha...!! and I would say "you are learning something from ur mistake, i don't have anything to say"
One funny thing happened today!
He was saving money for 5 months now itseems! he kept all money in his wallet and the highlight is he lost it!!
Haha....he saving!! I cannot even imagine and that too 5 months!!
When he told me this sad thing, i was laughing!! and he angrily asked me "You laughing at this??"
Okay! now no one can bring the lost money back, but see, I know him and he saved money?
Am I dreaming?..:P
When we go together to any family functions people would say to us "In no way you both look like brothers! you are like best friends"....:)
The moment i stopped trying to dominate him, the day i started giving him freedom, many things changed, he became friend to me, not just frnd much more (this is a lesson to many of u out there...:P)
I would end saying this!!
I have done many good things, did many good deeds just because he did them before them!
He is the first teacher, first friend and guide to me!!
Dear Bro, u have chosen this particular set of parents, that too knowing that i am gonna be your elder brother!
Wat a risk u have taken!!
hats off to you!! :D
PS : Can't praise him more and give rise to two horns out there....:P
In the pic, the first one from left is me and the middle is my bro!
