On Raghav's 4th Birthday

You never got our total undivided attention, Your elder brother was already there to share it with you..

Half of your toys are used, so are your clothes. Old and used..Your elder brother  always got brand new toys and clothes..

Even parents you got, were older as compared to what your elder sibling got ..

Half of the time we call you by your elder sibling name, while we never call your elder brother by your name.

Even if you do something cute, we often compare that to your elder brother thinking how he used to do it..


Even your mother is called as Ojas's mother by elderly ladies in family when she is equally your mother. 

Yet unlike our attention for you, we always get your total undivided attention..

Your love for us is total new , totally unique..

You being the youngest, make us feel even younger..

Even times when we call you by your brother's name, your love towards us remains unchanged.

Like all younger siblings of world, you are happy being son to 'Your elder sibling's mother'.

You may feel all this injustice being done to you, but remember, your elder one never had an elder brother..

Unlike you, he never had company of a person he could call bhaiya.

Unlike you he was a guinea pig in hands of a novice parents, you got a much experienced calmer set of parents.. He handled all the rough edges of an inexperienced parenthood and made it smooth for you..

You complete us like a second eye, a second hand, a second lung.

 You are like our second life god graced us with. 

Dear Raghav, It is impossible to even imagine a second of our lives without you. May be thats why we call you our second son. 

Happy fourth Birthday Raghav. Love you to the second moon situated far in galaxies and back.
