Do you ever wish you had a sibling but you don't actually want a sibling?

To start with, I'm now better. Turns out 2nd dose spared me from its effects. The only defective piece in my body currently is my left hand. But it'll get better with time. So no worries. Also, I wanted to thank all those of you who texted me such beautiful 'take care' messages. I really felt blessed getting them.

Moving on to today's blog, if you don't know I'm a single child - so like a normal single child, I got (still get) all the attention and love from the family (scoldings too). Seeing my cousins fight on petty things and grabbing each other's hairs, I felt blessed I didn't have any siblings. But also seeing them having each other's back made me want to have one.

When I was young, I always switched between 2 moods - "Why don't I have a brother or sister?" to "I'm fine with my toys and teddy bears." And I always made sure that my parents know my choice of whether I want to have a brother or sister so that they can give me one or not even one.

To be honest, I'm a complete hoarder and the concept of minimalism is far from what my brain can perceive. And as an experienced hoarder, the only thing which I don't like is to share my stuff. Be it my chocolates or toys, I never liked sharing them with anyone. So definitely I had many fights with my cousins who came to my house to "play". I always wanted to become a teacher or the boss in whichever game we played.

I think having a sibling when young is a proper mess. There are fights, jealousy, and moreover the who-will-get-the-attention competition. But I also think that growing up, this relationship matures and who seemed like the villain of your life becomes your trusted confidant.

On a personal level, I always wanted a big brother. Someone who can have my back whenever I am in a fight with a friend. But I also know that brothers can be a bit violent. On the other hand, having a sister will enable me to have access to her clothes. Whatever be the case, I wanted to be the younger one out of the two. Although now all this just rests in my imagination I do wonder sometimes what if I had a sibling.

Anyhoo, are you a single child too? If no, what do you think are the pros and cons of having another human being in the house?

5 Things my Mom taught me!

That's me - before puberty hit me and my mom - pretty as always :) Puberty hit me good! My mom still the same :') The context behind this very special blog is because it's my Mum's birthday today (PS: You can wish her in the comments below). And to do something special for her I decided to write things that she has taught me knowingly and unknowingly. I think that the most special feeling for anyone would be that they have made an impact, an influence on someone. That feeling is just more than money or love. It's a feeling of respect, and how the days you've talked has to lead to that breakthrough. And being my mom, she knows me for 19 years now (and 19 days, but not my point). I have mentioned her and my dad in many of my blogs but they both have taught me so much more. So, here are the 5 things I learned from my Ma: 1. Hustle as much as you can when you are young - this will ensure a comfortable life later! Now, I know this contradicts the point of 'Life i...

To the best week of 2021!

I know it's too soon to announce the best week but I feel I'm not going to have a better week in the remaining months of 2021. I visited my Nani house and met my 6 cousins. Played an endless number of card games. Mostly lost in all. Jammed to 2000s songs while playing. Got challenged to recognize songs just by the starting tune. Won that challenge with flying colors 😉 Got dressed up. Hijacked elder sis's jewelry collections🥵. Troubled her while sleeping by cuddling😈 My Younger sister combed my hair from time to time😂. Lots of internal jokes🤧 Middle sister making efforts to make the house of cards. And me like a pretty nice sister trying to crush that house😊 Comparing heights with both my brothers😬. Still proud to be the tallest🏆. Laughing on almost any random thing. Talking about school and online studies📖 The infinite arguments and exploring options for Movie night🎥 Fighting for who will get that last chip at 1am. Gulping down Jeeru bottles🥤 Everyo...

First days are always exciting, no?

To start with, I forgot to mention the GOOD news in the last blog. We crossed 5000+ All-time views on these blogs after 25 blogs. Yayy!! I am really grateful for this and so happy! I never thought these blogs will ever be such an important part of my life but now I can feel that these are growing into something more big and meaningful for me. So, thank you all of you who always took out time to read and comment on my blogs. I love you all💓 Having said that, let me start today's blog. Being an experienced stationery-lover, the only thing I find exciting in a new academic semester is to start using new books and pens. Going all out on stationeries. Throughout the academic year, I crave vacations and when they finally arrive I crave using the stationery and new books. It's a never-ending cycle!! (My first blog was literally about Vacations!!??.. ) Today, I woke up at around 7:20 (which is pretty early for me). I gave myself a pep talk and tried to lure myself to wake up ...
