"I was away for work when they were born. When I came back and visited the hospital I saw them. It was a very pleasant surprise for me. While my wife would be sleeping I would watch them for hours. Even though they were twins and born a minute apart, they looked identical and I had started to see the differences in them. The one who came first was heavier but he was a quite type, not moving too much. The younger one cried often and moved his hands and legs more. The differences are more pronounced now. The elder one is a thinker, very quiet, compassionate and obedient while the younger one is spontaneous, playful, active and smart. The elder one wants to become a teacher while the younger one wants to become an actor." _x000D_ _x000D_ - Badri Pandey with his twins Britanta Pandey and Binamra Pandey, Met them in Baluwatar, Kathmandu
