Sibling

 

Let’s go back in history to 2002 to know about this story. I was 4yrs old and my parents told me I used to whine about not having anyone to play with and used to sleep with a lot of toys. A year later I had a baby sister. I was extremely happy and excited and kept running around and told all my school friends about my sister. But she used to sleep all day as she is a newborn and the 5yr old me was pissed off and tried to wake her up from sleep for which my mom screamed at me


Let’s go to the fun part where she used to do everything I did and it irritated me a lot after she grew up a little bit. She chose the same ice cream flavor I did and sat on the same chair I used to sit but she never watched the same tv shows I used to watch. I loved Mr.Bean and Jackie chan but she liked Chhota Bheem and Dora and we had never-ending remote fights. Now we all grew up and became busy with our lives. I went to the hostel after school and still continue to stay out in the hostel for work and for the first time she told me that she missed me and used to wait for me to be back home during holidays. A sibling is an unshakable bond. No matter how much you fight you always look out for each other.  A lot of times I have told my sister I hate her and promised not to talk to her in a lifetime but still I talk to her forgetting that we had a bad fight. So if anyone is missing their sibling after reading this give them a call and tell them that you miss them. Tell me about your siblings in the comments.

Assumptions about married women

That's me. And I prefer doing whatever I like be it going on trips or hitting the gym or doing my office work or cooking. 1.  Cooking  -  Assumption that women must cook despite having busy careers. Dont get me wrong. Infact, I love trying out new dishes occasionally. But the phone call I had received from my relative the other day made me question this. They were constantly interested in what Im cooking or if I learnt to cook the dal gravy. I faced a similar incident at the gym. Our trainer asked me to cook more protein rich food for my husband and feed him regularly. Though meant in a humorous way, the underlying meaning kind of made me feel sad. The fact that nobody would say this to a husband made me question. Cooking is a life skill. It is a choice. We can always hire someone. We might develop interest in cooking once we start living on our own. We must also stop judging someone for their food choices. When I say I make protein pancakes or wheat semiya or masala oats...

I switched my work organization😉

First of all thank you for coming here to read my blogs. I haven't posted for a long time now and believe I will be more consistent going forward.  I joined a new organization 2 days back and it feels like the best decision I have taken in a while. I believe we must all keep looking for growth in all aspects of life. Be it career or health or emotional growth. Sometimes you get stuck in a loop of doing things and no matter how much you work hard you are never appreciated or more problems arise. A similar situation happened to me in life where I felt no amount of work is getting me out of this loop.  I had some really crappy work surrounded by tough people to handle. When I decided to switch my job for monetary and other reasons it was very hard to get any interview calls.  The key here is to keep believing. I never believed because market is bad and stuff but my husband kept constantly applying to jobs on my behalf. I had some mental breakdowns due to the work wherein I h...

Consumerism - Minimalism (Part - 2)

  Well let's first understand this term consumerism. It means encouraging the consumption of goods and services as a never ending cycle. So in simple words we the people are consumers who will constantly be bombarded with ads promoting that we need certain things to increase our standard of living.  What's wrong in increasing the standard of living? Let's be honest there's nothing wrong. It is good to get stuff that ease our lives like mixer and grind instead of the old ways of grinding spices, television for entertainment, mobile phone for communication, vehicle for travelling. So where does the problem arise? It arrises when we start buying more stuff than we actually need just because we saw a ad saying the existing one is not good. We will always find something better coming up in the market each day. It has become a way of life.  Most of the time the products are purposefully made so fragile that we end up replacing them. Eg: The glass back on mobile phones are goo...
