My Mirror

 A mirror reflects anything and everything, but do you think humans can reflect anything? Well, I say that humans don't reflect everything, but a human can reflect us! 



Do you get the point? 


Of course! Our siblings do reflect us - they copy whatever we do. That's simple. 


And speaking about siblings reflecting us - why don't we speak about MY Mirror?



I have a unique mirror. That mirror is indeed my own sibling, Shripu. You may know Shripu, and I have described her as a cute baby. But her name isn't Shripu, her name is Shripradhaa. She is my own sister, 6 years younger to me (now 3 years old).


As you can see, I was happy when I  was the only child, I can be as I want, and especially spend much time with my parents. But after Shripu was born, there were many hard rules, like I shouldn't enter the room while she's sleeping, as she might wake up. It seemed as if she'll wake up for even soft creaks!



And the worst thing is that I can't watch TV with the volume on, as she'll wake up. Shripradhaa, at the youngest age wasn't able to understand such aspects and stuff, so simply she'll smile or cry.


And as she grew, it was more fun. She at least understood a few words. And at this age, she has developed some thinking skills, and we enjoy playing a bit, but as always, we fight and end up complaining about each other.


But that doesn't mean that I have all freedom, I can't do certain activities when Shripu is awake, like quilling, coloring and sketching, and even painting, as she doesn't know how to handle pencils, sketches and stuff, she may break them. 


Although these days are boring and monotonous, we still enjoy somehow. Shripradhaa may fight with me, but at the same time, she also cares for me. Maybe when she grows up, like about when she's 5 or 6, it would be the best times I've ever had! At this age, she doesn't know how to keep secrets, so if she is 5 or 6 years old, she'll keep it safe inside, and will not even share it to our own parents!


And you know? A sweet incident happened today morning....

My mom had prepared poori for breakfast. I had finished it before Shripradhaa woke up. I was at school by that time (you all know, same online classes). Shripradhaa was having her breakfast - poori by that time. She happily munched on it, and guess what said... 


"Did Shriyandhaa eat? It's so yummy!"


The thing is that she feels that the poori is delicious, and wants to share it with me! Sweety pie!



SHRIPRADHAA is my MIRROR. Or shall we say, my Xerox copy?ЁЯШК

  1. Yes. Your mirror is shripu. That's it. Be cheerful and she will also smile instead of quarrelling or fighting with you. Better smile at her. Approach her softly. She will become your best friend and good sister. No fight. That's it.

Long Lost Sleep

  After a long, exhausting day, the only thing all of us look forward to is SLEEP. So, as soon as you finish off the last crumbs on your dinner plate, you fling yourself onto your bed, rest yourself in a comfortable position, get your pillow nice and fluffed up, and throw the blankets on yourself. But then... You just realised that you still have your big, wobbly earrings on. So you throw back the blankets and remove your earrings and leave them in their box. And then you're back in your bed, and just as your eyelids are about to close... You realise that you haven't brushed your teeth. So, yet again, your throw back the blankets and get off the bed, letting the annoying, creaky sound fill your head. And then you throw open the door to your bathroom, get your brush ready and squeeze toothpaste onto it, but... The tube seemed to have a hole on the back, which you sadly hadn't noticed. And you get toothpaste all over your hands. Fuming, you wash your hands and get things done...

So Close, Yet So Far

  What you knew you had right beside you What you never knew might leave you What you had neglected for days What you wished was still there, within your gaze. That miniscule amount of hope  That you feel lingering close by You could open out your arms, embrace it, But suddenly it's high in the sky. Once within your grasp, But now away from you, Don't waste a moment on a wee gasp, Time won't stop, and the moving hope too. Each moment is to be caught, Each memory to be cherished, Hold them carefully in your arms, Before they shall vanish. The consistent inkling when you feel, Something close, yet so far, Is only because you know yourself, That it is within your grasp, but not within your confidence. If you're positive enough that you can hold it, The 'it' that is mysterious and something only you know, You can hold the precious 'it', Clutch it tight, don't let it go. You must be close to the end of the day, With its cliffs and slopes and Rocky slides,...

Stars

  Shining in the vast night sky, I see them from afar. Dominated by the brighter moon, There glimmer the stars. Mostly hidden by the cruel shadows, Or by the thick, misty clouds. But they do not give up, they still glimmer on, They make their voice be heard loud. Even though they're hardly seen, Even though they're hardly thought of, They know that someday they will be, Thought of, honoured and loved. So take an inspiration from stars, Show your true essence, Continue to shimmer, ignore the darkness, Because one day it'll fear your presence.
