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.

Importance of having your own space

This is a taboo topic in India. I stayed with my parents till 12th grade. Then I moved to college for the next 4 years. Even while I was in college I wasn't practically alone because I had room mates and the same thing happened after I joined work as I stayed in working women's hostel. Then covid happened and I got married during covid and moved to his parents place. Our own space there was our room. Then 10 months later we shifted to Bangalore for study and work reasons and it was the first time in my life that I got an entire space to myself. My husband got his own space inside his college (A single room). While I stayed with my parents my job was to just take care of myself, eat and study. When I moved to hostel I had to tackle my laundry as well. Same happened in working women's hostel but extra responsibility was to pay my rent, tackle my finances and travel. Cooking became an extra part of our schedules wherein we make dishes occasionally. Each and every step of this ...

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...

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...
