                                                              lower than at age of thirty I had. I feel that now
                                                              we are dealing only with people meet on the
                                                              way. Now I am forty one years old. Nobody is
                                                              behind me now. Where are those friends lived
                                                              like brothers?  This is a point which proved my
                                                              saying new brother is not your brother.

                                                                     Suppose of your parents. Do they have
                                                              friends now? They might have had friends like
                                                              we had. But where are they now? Only children
                                                              are behind them. Think of old aged homes in
                   Who is this new brother? How can we        our country. They too might have had friends
            recognize him? On hearing the word Brother,
                                                              like we had. Where are they now? This is also
            We all feel happy as soon as the word sounds      a point which proved my saying new brother is
            but  it  might  not  be  to all  in some occasion.   not your brother.
            However it is, in general it is a  word which
            most people like to hear. In society, commonly           I joined Navy after  School. There we
            the word  brother  consists  of  two  meaning.  meet batch mates  who strongly believed  to
            The  children born in one mother  is called  be brothers.  I have heard majority says that
            brothers in one hand. On the other hand, in  only a batch mate helped in an  emergency.
            society we meet so close friends like brothers,  But  my conscience  says that  only divisional
            He  is  the new brother. Further  one  political  system helped me when I was helpless in naval
            party uses this word brother among all party  premises.  I have experienced that batch mates
            members in our country. Some says ‘Bro’  in  never  meet after  retiring  from navy. Rarely
            short. In this article, I am going to talk about  there can be batch mate concept which  was
            my experiences which proved my saying new  helpful to a little extent. But batch mate is also
            brother is not your brother.                      a new brother not your brother.
                   As we remind the school time, almost              Who is your brother? Parents and
            all  the people say that  such a pleasant  time  teachers  are  your real  brothers. Thanks to
            never come across. We all spent whole days  them we still survive. They are still thinking of
            with  friends like brothers.  No differences  our future and waiting for our success. If we
            arose among us. We shared everything what  believed them during our schooling time really,
            we had. We played together, sang together and  we would step up more. But we believed only
            travelled together  etc. Anybody knows how  the new brother. So we have already stepped
            much close each other. When we grew old little  down.
            by little in the school, some friends dropped
                                                                     Associate   the    new    brother    but
            from G.C.E ordinary level examination  and
                                                              never trust their  guidance. Believe only the
            Some from Advanced level examination.
                                                              knowledge and the experiences you gained and
            Now we meet them once in a blue moon. No
                                                              make them your brother. Then you will be wow
            body tries to close us.  Even though we meet
                                                              one day. Thank you.

            distanced to an extent. Talking to each other
