Few reasons why you can't live with your younger sibling... or without them :-/
1. Makes fun of my e-mail addy: gaheri_bindu_andar@ & langdi_taang_ bahar@
2. Calls me:
a) moti (fatso)
b) bhainsi (buffalo)
- when I'm neither moti nor bhainsi, thank you very much!
3. Will hold my hand while crossing the road even though he is younger than me by more than four years and I've probably crossed more roads than him.
4. Will say, "Girna mat, giraana mat" (don't fall & don't let the thing you are holding fall either!) every single time I carry something like a tray full of food etc. - Hmph! As if I am born clumsy!
(ok, so things do seem to have a propensity to fall off my hands for some reason!)
5. Will call me "didi" only when he wants something from me.
6. Will make me laugh when I'm angry with him and ready to blast him off (do you have any idea how annoying that is?).
7. Will ask me to give him a missed call if I'm walking to a relative's place at 8:00 in the night... - Oh, did I mention that the place is just 5 minutes away?
8. Refuses to teach me gaalis (cuss words) and help me build my meager repertoire. :X
9. People who meet us for the first time think he's the elder one.
Sigh!
Got your own younger/elder brother/sister stories?

Nice post...
You don't know any cuss words? Poor Yoo heee! Buzz me sometime ... :D
And stories.... loads, loads of them. only time is a bit short rt now. might come back to post later on...
oh, and GOLDD!! :D
The glossary to Vikram Chandra's "Sacred Games," is a compendium of all the cuss words you will ever need to know. Delightful, but I can't seem to find the proper social occassion for using them.
@amit: amit ke bacche! ye kya yoo hee, yoo hee laga rakkha hai aaj kal?! :X
hum aapse bade hain - zara kuch to respect dikhaaiye! :P
Looking forward to hearing your stories!
@rwells: Richard, I really want to get my hands on The Golden Gate now. I know, I know - not connected with this but your mention of Vikram Chandra made me remember that!
As for the propah social occassion... erm, ever thought of trying it in the un-proper one? Should make the conversation more colourful I bet :P
(and thanks for the tip - I will be sure to check out the glossary of Sacred Games the next time I hit a bookstore!)
