My bro "Rana"

For, first time in life, i saw a child grow. It is my second cousin Rana, i first saw him when, he was few months old. I had bought him tiny clothes, which fitted him really well.

I saw him trying to turn on the bed, so that he could sit . I saw him sitting too. i was first to notice, that he was trying to move (crawl). I use to call out his name . So, that he could come for me. He was now into next stage, he was trying to stand.

He was so intelligent. When he was just 8 months, his elder brother Rahul came home on winter vacation and he used to occupy T.V whole day watching cartoons. We couldn't ask him not to, coz we don't want to mess up with him, but the younger one didn't cared. He use to crawl towards the switch board and pull out the plug of the T.V. I loved, what happened next. Elder would shout at him, he didn't care, he would shout back at him. It seems, as if he was saying, "Bro, i am really fed up of your cartoons, let others watch too". We loved that scene.

We didn't understand what he was shouting, but we saw as the intensity of the elder grew, he too would reply with same intensity. I think he really didn't cared, what his brother was shouting at. If former plugged in, he would again pull it out, and start arguing in his own language. We elders just use to enjoy it. Sometimes, he would look at us and give a smile, it was really a crooked smile of "logon ko satane main jo maja woh aur kaha". I just cannot forget those crooked moments.

We just couldn't help laughing at him. Whenever, he wanted something above him, if he didn't reach it normally by standing, he stands on his toes to increase his height and reach for the it. If he succeeded, it directly goes to his mouth. His mouth was like a taster. He would taste every thing with it. "chalo chemical testing karte aur output dekhte hain".

He cried only when he was hungry, and we never let him. I was amazed when i saw how much he ate. He usually eats more than me, and i know my capacity.

Plus we never let him to get angry. If he is ever angry, he shows no mercy. His 2+2 teeth, (now its 7, 3+4 i think) acts like weapons and this weapon knows the target i.e. ears or nose or finger of other person. He literally tried to chew it off or scratch out the face with his small and bloody nails. :)

when i last saw him, he was crying, that his mummy didn't let him to accompany me. i just miss him. Now, i heard that he can walk. Not only that, he can run too. He is too smart now, he doesn't let another child to win. He beats them up, even who are older than him.

He will grow up as BOSS of the family, that all i expect...
I just love him..
