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.

Behind The Mask

  Behind the clouds  Is the hidden sky, so far, Behind the plasters, A nasty scar, Behind the curtains,  Are bright windows  But behind a mask - It is not for show. Not until you tumble into the trap,  Stay trapped there, in disguised gloom  Without realising it - And then go deeper and deeper  To discover what really looms. Then realisation strikes - How they behaved, how they feigned The hidden meaning behind every wave  You've found it. And the rage, You try to stifle it with much courage, But instead, burn down the page, And whoops - that leads you to your cage. But in the end, the mask is gone - To reveal an atrocity, so from it begone Don't explain, on its own will it dawn - Upon others, just the way it did on you - Ignore their every scorn. Just wait for their mask to be openly torn.

Eclipsed

  Moon:  I shine every night  Though, once a month, I take a break  But I'm seen regularly,  And it's not a big deal.  Few stop by  To marvel at me.  But what about the others -  Can they even see? And tonight is the night  A shadow shall be cast upon me  I hope no one notices -  My brief moments without glory.  Oh, but who am I kidding?  Of course, when I'm humiliated  In the vast night sky  Just me, and an eery shadow upon me  That  That is when the humans  Choose to gaze at me.  And then, to say I am weak And I'm always overruled by  The sun, and shadows, and clouds?  That is not fair.  But the truth that the moon does not know  Is that our little downfalls  Are what define us.  They're the little things that make us  Better - Perfection isn't a thing; but realism is.  Someone who is perfect cannot be likeable - But someone with flaws has more pe...

They

You know what they say, "Practice makes Perfect"?  You know how they say, "Let the past  Be the past"? You know how you feel Knowing something you're doing  Is not right, You know they're watching you ponder, You do, right? They stay around you, you meet them, see them Everyday, They can give glowing smiles, or uncanny looks Depending on the aura around you - Wherever you are, they are there  They are there everywhere. You might think you're alone, somewhere D eserted But you never are They're still there - And they are also probably the ones Who know you, better than you know  Yourself. They say confusing strings, There are lots of songs they sing, They have seen lots of things, There's something, which, to myself I'll always Think, It will either remain unanswered,  Or will be forgotten,  But I shall not think it will be addressed But nonetheless -  They cannot control  Everything you do  Even if the things they have said  Echo co...
