Books Vs Beauty

Today her exam ends and she seems to be more determined to study harder. I was taken aback when she said that she had aimed for 98% in her periodical exam but she won’t be getting as one of her test did not go well. I thought it would be smart of me to be quiet that to console her. Can’t thank God more for not making her my elder sister.

Ooo! She gets angry…

I can’t help being a protective brother and sometimes over protective too. Today evening when we crossed our finger, waiting for the promotion list where Dad was expecting a promotion. My sister changed the channel to UTV where “Dadagiri” was being telecasted. For some reason, this show seems to be a waste. My sis clenched and horrified as what the host would ask a girl to do whom she was abusing like anything. I wonder how concept of entertainment has changed. I asked her to change the channel, and then it transformed to altercations and ended with me scolding my sis. We were having samosa; she took her share and went to the other room.

Sis is my little BIG GIRL

By the way did I tell you my sis is in tenth grade now. When I came back of my long educational tour (more than a decade) for a big vacation at home, I could not digest my little sis has become so big and mature. This abruptness is because I never stayed more than 2 weeks at home with my sis for years together. I see her now studying along, having long list of friends whom she often calls with her mobile (Dad’s gift to her) and posting at yahoo answers to some questions which surely needs a mature perspective.

Dance Lesson

Mom found it to be a caricature and left the room but my sis seemed like taken a pledge to teach me dancing today.

It is an everyday affair when sis would ask me to dance on “Can I have a Dance” from High school musicals-3 and I had to say NO to her importunate demand. But today as I had been bit strict to her while playing badminton, I had to make up for that by dancing with her. I always dreamt of dancing splendidly whenever I heard foot-tapping songs and with Hritik Roshan coming to the Bollywood, I have been taking this daydream of being a dancer quite seriously. Dream is a dream and fact is a fact; I suck at dancing.

Papa and Daughter Pact

I was to my way back home, leaving Bangalore forever. It had been more than a decade when I have been out from my parents and sister for education. Crazily one day when I was fed up with my job which was taking me nowhere, where I wished to be; I placed my resignation and within two months I was flying towards my native. I shall find a new job or go ahead with my higher studies but primarily I wished to spend time with Mom, Dad and my sweet sister.

My Sleeping Beauty

We were to see the movie “The little Mermaid” together yesterday night. I got bugged by the way I was handling few of the things and did not feel like watching. My sis turns up at 11 PM almost to watch it but I had to disappoint her saying that I do not feel like watching it at this very moment. To my astonishment I did not find her disappointed and she clearly denied to watch herself alone. “We shall watch it tomorrow, together” was her conclusive reply and she went to bed. Even I did not drag my night long. I slept off with the dream of me as a champion of Hogwarts to win the triwizard championship which was unmistakably due to the book I was reading.

A Prayer

I was in third standard I believe when I came home to find our neighbour aunt at our place. It was 5 in the evening, my usual time to get back home. I found everything usual except my mom who was missing. Dad later in the evening said – “Your Mom is in the hospital to get you a baby brother or sister”. Believe me those were the exact thing said to me when I inquired. I was waiting desperately for tomorrow when I would be having a brother or sister as promised to me by Dad.
