I am always there,

closer to you or some

300 kms apart. Hardly

matters. You occupy

an important place in

my heart. You aren't alone.

You will get through.

I do trust. Your elder brother

I am. Won't you be firm

for me? You shall win.

Not to worry.

Are you well? I am not

there with you. I know

you know I am always there.

You believe your elder brother?

Yes, Dada. I do. In this struggle

you are my soul's foundation.

Pains, aches, tears, tantrums

of brain, I will courageously suffer.

I wasn't born a warrior yet

I will never surrender. As you

are strongest source of my strength.
