When we decided to have another baby, we knew the primary motto of having one. Our baby was coming for vrinda.
Having a single child was never on our mind. Anuj, being a single child always wanted a sibling for vrinda, as he didn't want her to be alone. I, on the other hand wanted a sibling for her because I have three sisters and I always knew how great it is to have siblings. I never wanted my first born to live alone but to have fun with someone as she grows up.
As for vrinda, she too wished for a sibling. But only to be elsa herself! She wanted a baby sister. Yes she was sure, it had to be a girl.
Then came along kabir. First she was a bit disappointed to have a baby brother, but when she saw him for the first time in the hospital, she fell in love with him.
From then on, a new journey began. Each day we see vrinda and kabir grow closer. There is immense joy in watching the two of them bond. Each day as she comes back from school, he is the first person she wants to go to. And as kabir looks at this little person, his eyes always light up, as if she is the one he has been searching for all along.
Today they celebrate their first rakhi together. As parents we wish them to be with each other in times high and low, and to support each other in situations good or bad. No matter how happy the grandparents are, no matter how elated we are as parent to have kabir, the most precious and important result of having him is the happiness that has come into vrinda's life. She is super excited to have him as a brother and promises to always be by his side. And that is exactly why we feel that kabir is first for vrinda and later for everybody else!
