Brothers are our lifelines and the only ones we trust blindly. They are the first ones we think of during a fight. Such is the impact of brothers in a relationship, they are always there for each other. They would nag us, tease us and do all the emotional attyachar but, anyone raises a finger at us and there they are standing like our pillar of strength.
