Mom gives birth to Krishna on a particular day (say July 1st). Then she crosses the international dateline to a place where it is still June 30th and gives birth to Subha. Thus, Krishna is older, but celebrates his b-day after his sister!

The boy is born say on 25th in a country say X at 2:00am. But after 6 hrs they are in a country where the time is still say 10:00pm and hence the date is 24th.(due to time zone differences).
