Hyderabad: Competitions, arguments, and fights are so constant among siblings, but so are treasured experiences, and most importantly, we cannot imagine living without them! People of all ages would agree that no matter how old you get, or how busy you are in your life, you transform back into a kid when you are with your siblings. To celebrate this bond among siblings, April 10th is observed as Siblings Day.
Claudia Evart, a freelance paralegal from New York, established the day in 1995 in honour of her late siblings. Claudia lost both her siblings, Alan and Lisette, in separate accidents. To honour their memory and celebrate their lives, made Siblings Day an annual observance. April 10th was also Claudia's sister Lillete's birthday.
