Confusion, Anger Unadulterated Joy: Growing Up With My Brother Who Has Down Syndrome #IndiaNEWS #Disability
It was an exceptionally hot day on 7 June 1987 in Kuwait. I remember it all so vividly. Ma was in the hospital and I was told that she would deliver my sibling any time now. I was excited but indifferent. All three and a half years old, I couldn’t differentiate my emotions at the time. All I knew was that soon, I would go from being one of two children to becoming the middle child.
After my brother was born, I spent the next few weeks plotting to have this little boy stay back at the hospital. In hindsight, I realise it is an emotion that many older siblings go through.
I considered rolling him under the bed, or even wrapping him up in a carpet and leaving him outside the house.

But soon, I realised that I had a new playmate, for which I was grateful. Little by little, he chipped away at my rock-solid animosity, and as I began to appreciate him, my attitude towards the baby began changing.
As we grew up, I started noticing that his features weren’t the same as ours. I didn’t know the reason back then. All I knew was that my brother looked different.
