This day I have completed 7 years of my life. My fresh pen takes me back to the old memory when **my little brother was kept in my hands for the first time.** I was separated from my mom for the first time when she was admitted to the hospital for delivery.

# From the core

**For the first time, I got a live teddy bear directly from God.** Isn't this the exact feeling when you see your sibling for the first time? Let's keep the rivalry for later! Though I have had my share of fights with him in my initial years, **it is only the good things that I remember about our relationship as brother and sister.**

He was still less than a year when we used to go for day picnics on the motorcycle to India Gate. It was so enjoyable to feel the sun on your body on a warm winter afternoon. **And the home cooked food was delicious as ever**. At that time, we dreamed of having a car someday and going for picnics with more ease. **But when we had the car after some years, we didn't come back to this place even a single time.  **

Both of us are sensitive in nature. And back at that time, he had always been an obedient and soft-spoken child. I had disciplined him to watch only 3 cartoons a day, and he obeyed me.

Every evening both of us would finish our homework soon to watch the cartoons together.

**On holidays I would read him stories where he would be attentive so that I can ask questions at the end.**

# Lessons learnt later in life

Gadgets were absent then and **we enjoyed playing together games like Ghar Ghar under the dining table. Life then was much simpler and happier.**

**We had quality cartoons to watch at that time.** We were always excited to finish our school work in time and watch the shows together. **We never fought for which channel to watch**. We always had the same choice. **Kids in today's generation are not so patient**. My kids at present argue for every other thing.

I thought I am not very attached to him as other brother and sisters. **But now while I am writing, I feel a different sense of belongingness with him.**

He was still small, around 14 years when I got married. **Now I find him more responsible towards our parents. ****Family atmosphere plays a vital role in shaping the character of children and the discipline in them.**

I am sure every brother-sister relationship is sometimes sweet and the other times sour, only to gel together at the end.

***Memories are old but the pen is fresh***
