Oh Brother!

This morning, I had one of those entirely dangerous feelings. You know, one of those when you just HAVE to get up and write a long blog entry. But you're stumped, owing to the fact that you have nothing to write about. (Anyone who reads between the lines of my blog, nay, reads my blog at all, should know that I have absolutely no useful work in life as of now, and as a result, I have nothing to write about, and hence, my blog is stagnating.) But my noble intentions did not let me peacefully get up and have yet another blog-free day. I simple HAD to do something about the feeling. And then it hit me! (No, no, 'it' wasn't anything hard... I'm still alive!)
Today's Rakhi, and I decided to write a little segment on my blog for my five fantastic cousin brothers. (Unfortunately, I don't have a brother, but these five cousins more than make up for my lack of brother). So here goes nothing...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rohit (Anna)
How we're related: He's my mom's oldest sister's son.
What I love most about him: The fact that even though he's really caught up at work and with his own friends, he's affectionate enough to always take time off to be with us, his family. Also, he has some rather amusing anecdotes to relate, and he's always buzzing with information on the food and eateries front.
I aspire to be like him: For his quizzing talent. I wish I knew even half of the weird little facts that he knows.

Ajay (Anna)
How we're related: He's my mom's second sister's son.
What I love most about him: He's great fun to be around - you can rely on him not only to laugh at your jokes, but to crack a fair number himself. He has a brilliant sense of humour. (Ref. http://jaydedforlife.blogspot.com/2006/07/krrish.html) He gets along with anyone. He's one of those people who always has a smile for you, and every time you meet him or speak to him, you somehow feel lighter.
I aspire to be like him: Because he's just so affectionate. He's probably the most affectionate person I know, and I wish I could be like that.

Arjun
How we're related: He's my mom's second sister's younger son.
What I love most about him: He's always got something up his sleeve. He has this permanent mischievous glint in his eyes, and is always wondering how to tease or taunt someone. But we all know that in spite of all his antics, he's actually a real softie inside. Besides that, our likes and dislikes are really similar as far as books, music, movies and TV shows are concerned. Perhaps this is because we're less than two years apart...
I aspire to be like him: One word. Height.

Shirish
How we're related: He's my dad's sister's son.
What I love most about him: Unfortunately, I've met him very few times. But whenever we've got together, we've got along very well. Again, this is probably because of the age factor - he's less than six months younger than me.
I aspire to be like him: Like I said earlier, I really don't know much about him, at least not enough to do justice to this write-up. However, one thing he has that I seriously do not mind having is supreme knowledge on the Harry Potter series.

Sohum
How we're related: He's my dad's brother's son.
What I love most about him: (Besides the fact that he's my littlest cousin at almost 6!) Everything about him is adorable - his naïve comments, his superhero aspirations or his movie dialogues. His general demeanour is just so endearing, he's attracting attention all the time without meaning to or knowing that he is.
I aspire to be like him: Because of his attitude in life. He's always happy, and he does his own thing without caring what anyone thinks or says or does.

So those are my five phenomenal cousin bros. I owe so much to them all in some way or the other. It's impossible for me to say how much I love them all. This entry doesn't even come close to describing how amazing they actually are. At this point in time, I'm just happy to have all of them!
