Oh to have a brother!!!
Yesterday… my elder son Vidhu, along with my younger son Kinshuk (referred to, as Keenu, a citrus fruit… lovingly)… went to play in children play area of a mall…
There was this huge play area… full of slides… and children frantically running here and there… to grab the slides… enjoying themselves. But, Vidhu being Vidhu… was least interested in grabbing the slides and was trying to shield his younger brother Keenu from frantically running kids… later, he was seen trying to guide Keenu atop a medium elevation slide and enjoy himself…
Vidhu, I have always maintained, is a special kid… he is very well behaved… very considerate… like one day… when my wife, who after chasing him to feed… started weeping on her inability… and how he came near her… and kissed her… and started eating by himself. He is indeed special.
We have seen him many a times… when he beckoned us… when Keenu was about to fall from the bed… or when he held Keenu by his hands… alone… when he accidentally strayed on the roof tops… waiting for help… he didn’t even care to save himself from the pouring rains that day.
And how he use to hold Keenu by his finger… while walking down the road… We are indeed blessed.
And it reminds me of one of the oldest memories of my childhood… of my elder brother… when I was a five year old kid… and he of nine… when during the lunch time, we were walking down a pavement within our school… and how while trying to open my lunch-box… it fell and the contents got soiled… and how I was trying to pick things up… when my brother gave me his tiffin and gathered the soiled tiffin for himself.
I was blessed to have such a brother and so is Keenu…
