The Loving Elder Brother
Daksh took his mother’s dupatta and wiped his sibling's runny nose. He held one of his twin siblings in his hands and gave a peck on his cheeks. He also puts them to sleep by patting them from time to time, just like his mother does. Daksh spends his time playing and looking after them while his parents watched them over.
“Daksh chota hai, toh use pata nehi kaise chote bachon ko sabaltein hai. Isliye, hum use sikhate hai, kaise araam se unko sulana, pakdna aur khilana chahiye.” (“Daksh is still small; he doesn't know how to take care of toddlers properly. So, we show him how to gently handle them when putting them to sleep, feeding and holding them.”) said his mother.
