StatusBrother and sister status
Nobody can annoy you like a brother or sister, and nobody else remembers your whole childhood. Lines that tease first and love underneath.
English
We fought over the remote. We would fight the world for each other.
My brother: first enemy, permanent bodyguard.
My sister knows all my secrets. That is why I am polite to her.
Same parents, same nose, opposite everything else.
He never says he cares. He just shows up.
She borrowed my clothes for ten years. I borrowed her courage.
Older sibling: unpaid trial parent.
Youngest child. I got away with everything and I know it.
We do not say "I love you". We say "did you eat?" and "text when you reach".
Grew up sharing one room. Now we share one long phone call.
My sister got married. The house is too tidy now.
Brother far away, still one call from a fight about nothing.
The only person who can insult me in front of our mother.

भाई कम बोलता है, पर सबसे पहले खड़ा होता है।
दीदी की डाँट में माँ की झलक है।
छोटा भाई, बड़ी ज़िम्मेदारी, सबसे प्यारी।
रिमोट की लड़ाई आज भी जारी है।
बहन की विदाई के बाद घर बहुत शांत है।

ਪੰਜਾਬੀ
ਵੀਰ ਹੋਵੇ ਤਾਂ ਡਰ ਕਾਹਦਾ।
ਭੈਣ ਘਰ ਦੀ ਰੌਣਕ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ।
ਬਚਪਨ ਦੀਆਂ ਲੜਾਈਆਂ, ਅੱਜ ਦੀਆਂ ਮਿੱਠੀਆਂ ਯਾਦਾਂ।
ਵੀਰੇ ਨਾਲ ਲੜਾਈ ਰੋਜ਼, ਵੀਰੇ ਬਿਨਾਂ ਗੁਜ਼ਾਰਾ ਨਹੀਂ।
ਭੈਣ ਦੀ ਡੋਲੀ ਤੁਰੀ, ਵਿਹੜਾ ਸੁੰਨਾ ਹੋ ਗਿਆ।
ਵੱਡੀ ਭੈਣ, ਦੂਜੀ ਮਾਂ।
ਭਰਾ ਬਾਹਾਂ ਹੁੰਦੇ ਨੇ।
Nothing matches. Try a shorter word, or choose All.
The sibling tone
Sibling lines work when they sound the way siblings talk: an insult on top and loyalty underneath. "He ate my chocolate for fifteen years. I would still give him my kidney." Sweet lines with no teasing sound like greeting cards, and your brother or sister will not recognise themselves.
When to post one
- A sibling's birthday or result.
- Raksha Bandhan and Bhai Dooj. For greetings to send on those days, see Rakhi wishes.
- A sister's wedding or vidaai, or the day a brother leaves for work or study in another city.
- Under an old childhood photo, on any day at all.
Make it yours
Use the home name, the one nobody outside the family knows, if they do not mind. Mention the real crime: the remote, the window seat, the tale-telling to Mummy. Then add the real debt: who taught you to ride a cycle, who covered for you, who waited outside your exam hall.
What to avoid
- Childhood photos they have begged you never to show.
- Comparing siblings, even as praise.
- Lines that only work for one of several siblings while the others watch.
Before you post
- Cousins who grew up with you count. Change "brother" to "cousin" and the line still holds.
