sibling rivalry

As a small child we always take pride in "using" the name of our big brother. When it is used in the friend's circle an invisible fear sets in among friends. He is seen as your Saviour . No matter what the magnitude of the situation he is there to help you out. Hold on that was your childhood!

After 20-25 years , invoking the very same big brother name your blood boils because a deewar is erected between you and your brother.And the problem is compounded or rather complexed by the support extended by your parent(s).

Now, he is seen as a threat or you are seen as an impediment in his life. That's why our perception changes with the passage of time
