View all responses

In the intricate tapestry of life, each of us weaves a unique thread that contributes to the grand design of human experience. As I reflect upon the question, “Who are the biggest influences in my life?” a kaleidoscope of thoughts and emotions fills my mind.

Yet, amid the myriad qualities that define me, a resounding theme emerges – the desire to be remembered as inspiring, motivating, and positive.

When I delve into the chapters of my life, the person who stands out as the greatest influence is none other than my Big Brother.

An individual of extremes, his kindness is as boundless as his ferocity is intense. I witness his benevolence in the way he effortlessly connects with friends and family, always repaying tenfold the kindness he receives.

His heart extends its sympathy even to strangers, a quality that reflects his innate goodness.

Life has presented its fair share of challenges

Life has presented my brother with its fair share of challenges, especially in recent times as he battles health issues. Despite his own struggles, he remains easily moved by touching stories and films. His journey is a testament to resilience, marked by ups and downs that have sculpted his character into something extraordinary.

During our early years, our family faced a significant loss when we lost our father. As my brother shouldered the responsibilities of being the elder, alongside my sister and our widowed mother.

He became the pillar that supported our family structure. Even in the absence of the fourth pillar, he excelled in academics, becoming a topper at Patna Science College and earning a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Bihar Engineering College Patna.

I often find myself marveling at his strength to excel in every aspect of life despite the adversities he faced. His dedication to family, strict upbringing, and emphasis on education, especially for me as the youngest, have shaped my values and work ethic.

Simple living and high thinking

His philosophy of “Simple living and high thinking” echoes in my mind, a mantra that guided him through financial constraints without compromising on our familial bonds.

He tirelessly worked to cover his education expenses through tutoring while ensuring our home never lacked essentials. Our family, though financially strained, thrived in an environment where mutual support was paramount.

My brother strongly dislikes dishonesty and betrayal. He has strong principles and finds it hard to forgive major wrongdoings. When he gets angry, you can feel it, as it stems from his strong sense of justice and integrity.

Beyond his strict exterior, he has a strong soul. What impressed me the most was his constant positive view of life. He often reminds me that life, despite its difficulties, is beautiful and should be fully enjoyed. His optimism became a guiding light for me, helping me through tough times of sadness and doubt.

Life has taught me through my brother’s example that gratitude is paramount.

the greatest gift my brother has given me

I have imbibed the lesson to never give up easily, even when success seems distant. Despite setbacks, the journey is not regretful but filled with lessons and newfound strengths.

This resilience, I believe, is the greatest gift my brother has given me, and for that, I am profoundly grateful.

We transmit our collective energy

As I pen down these words, my brother lies in a hospital bed, battling health issues that have tested his resilience.

Today, I implore you to join me in prayer for his swift recovery. In these trying times, let us send our collective energy, hope, and love to a man who has been the cornerstone of our family’s strength.

To my Big Brother, the architect of my values and the embodiment of resilience, may you emerge stronger from this chapter of adversity. May your journey continue to inspire, motivate, and radiate positivity.

In the tapestry of our lives, your thread remains unyielding, weaving a story of strength, love, and unwavering spirit.

BE HAPPY….BE ACTIVE….BE FOCUSED….BE ALIVE…
