This is for all my lovely siblings.
You are rich enough if you have a loving sibling. They could be annoying sometimes, but you love them anyway. Your sibling is very much responsible for your growth in life as they share your DNA. Not only this our siblings can have an intense and long-lasting effect on our lives, influencing everything from our health to how we interact with others.
Brother sister relationship is one of the best things in this world. Few facts which help you to make your bonding stronger –
Missing each other
Boys generally miss their sisters at a time when they have to do any household activity or need to approach any girl or if they are sad or need to tell something to dad. Girls miss their brothers most on Raksha Bandhan( an Indian festival for brother and sister) and if any boy approaches her whom she doesn’t like.
Privacy
In India, siblings share the same room at a certain age. So, always one sibling is asked if parents find any changes in the behavior of another one. One of my colleagues told me an interesting story about her childhood, related to privacy. She always loves her elder sister’s clothes and finds her own less attractive to the college. So whenever her sister was not at home she used to dress up in her sister’s clothes and leave for the day. In the evening she always tries to arrive before her elder sister and put her clothes in the laundry bag. Nothing could be hidden among siblings.
There is nothing like a Brother/Sister’s support
They spent more time with each other. They know us more deeply than our friends. So they always act like a backbone for us in our hard times. Elder brother and sister act more likely a guardians for younger siblings.
No arguments especially in front of others
Siblings don’t want to argue in front of others. They even don’t want that the elder one fights with them in any public place or front of their parents. They always try if the matter could be resolved with chocolate or doing homework. In India, most of the time all such arguments and fights end up after the interference of parents or if it’s the time of any favorite TV show.
Secret sharing
Remember most of the time when my brother gets fewer marks in exams and hides his mark sheets. My parents used to ask me first as they knew he always shares all his secrets with me. School teachers always call me when they need to send any urgent complaint to the parents.
Siblings make you smart
Yes, it’s a fact that if you are living in a joint family and your parents can’t give you all the attention then your elder sibling will always help you in all your activities. So if you are smart it could be because of your elder sibling. Time to thank them now. 🙂
We all enjoy the company of our siblings, don’t we?
Then call them frequently and ask about their well-being.
