Life was all happy and full of smiles till i was 3yrs! It was then my brother was born. I just couldn’t tolerate when I realized I was not the centre of attention anymore! I was no more "the youngest" or "the most pampered" or "the naughtiest one".
I couldn’t understand why all the attention was being diverted to a small baby who didn’t even recognize their faces. Everyone was busy taking snaps and admiring how cute he was! Some were even comparing the both of us, saying he is fairer than me. No more would my grandpa come to see ME i thought. No more would my mom and dad love ME i thought. No more would my uncle take ME for a ride in his bike i thought. I had actually prayed to god asking for a brother but when he actually answered it i didn’t like it! But actually now, its a memory i cherish, seeing my brother, a small plump baby, smiling so cutely at me. There was some twinkle in his eyes, I remember. I had never ever seen a more chubby and adorable baby than him.
The later part of childhood was filled with jealousy but then it would automatically disappear every time he stretched his hand saying akka! It’s always been nice listening to him talk and fight with me for every possible reason. The innumerable number of times he's scolded me, makes me think "man.. He’s acting like an elder bro now!!" Cheers!
