Cherish the joy of having sibling

Overheard a conversation between a kid n his Mom while I was browsing through in a shopping mall. A kid would be of 4 to 5 conversing with his Mom

Kid: Mom, why don’t I have brother? (After asking the same question for several times his Mom replied annoyingly)

Mom: I have told you not to ask such silly questions. (Her reply really shocked me!!! Is this the way you reply back to your kid on such questions!!)

Kid: But Jay (may be kid's fren) has brother. I also want brother to play with me.

Mom: having brother means you have to share your toys, clothes, chocolates everything with him…..

I left the place to make my payment done so don’t know rest but it really shocked me. Is this what young parents learn from the books on parenthood or it is the demand of time to have only a single child to live life with less burden!!! Whatever it is but the worst part was the approach of that leady towards her son’s innocent question.

“Having brother means you have to share your toys, clothes, chocolates everything with him…..” how one can define bond of sibling in such words!!!!

Rather having sibling means sharing your childhood and adulthood with your best buddy with whom you love sharing not only toys and chocolates but all your silly to serious talks, confusions, with whom you love to fight, whom you dominate at the same you love to be dominated, sibling is the one who knows your all ins and outs, who is the one somewhat understands you the most, with whom you grow up and live one of the best days of childhood, at younger age he is your buddy to play with you, in adulthood your pal to support and guide you….

Really feel glad to have my brother with whom life has been great living. Bond with him is not just possible to describe in words. Being a girl you don’t come across many boyish things in your life but that is your brother who shows you the world through his eyes. Today many things I know about sports, finance, practicality is because of my brother. Whether its F1 racing to meaning of ACE in tennis, names of WWF wrestlers, booms and dooms of stock market to pravachans on becoming practical and strong in life ,  I got to know because of my brother.

I love uttrayan because my brother is crazy for the fest and wants me to be with him to hold his ‘firki’, I love Diwali because my brother protects me when I get afraid of blasting crackers, I watch sports on TV because he answers all my sports related silly questions, I try bike riding because he balances the pulsar while I drive, he never says no to me whatever I demand to eat whether its ice-cream at late night or trying out new restaurant….

 I never realized when my younger brother became elder than me through his care, nature and act towards me.Today I feel m younger than him and he pampers my kiddies acts at the same scolds me for my mistakes. He fights with me for the TV remote at the same takes me out for the long drive too. I look up to him for advice. I  really admire his thoughts,maturity,nature,knowledge,skills oh d list is going on...I find him the supportive pillar of my life who understands me so well.

I still remember it was really a tough situation when my brother moved to another city for higher studies and after living together for 20 years, the time came when we have to live distantly. But it is just a physical distance, through phone, sms,internet and in our heart we have always been connected. Distance has not brought any coldness in our relationships.In fact now we miss each other more. I wait dates to stop at his vacations so he can come back home and we have a great family moments.

 Whether its brother-brother, sister-sister or brother-sister, Sibling gives you the joy of  saying he/she is MY brother/sister...... with full of love.

Ek hazaro me mera BHAIYA hai…

Sari umar hame sang rehna hai….

Luv u Bhai.....:)

Matrimonial profiles-funny observations

My Dad keeps telling me to check out my matrimonial profile ( The one he has created on a matrimonial portal to find a suitable match for me) regularly and browse through the profiles. On one fine day Dad made a point that I sit with him and go through the profiles. Hmmm... time to do some serious job but what I ended up doing some really funny observations. :)

It starts with creating profile….

Here you will find profiles created by self, parent, sibling, friend and in some cases ‘other’( Now I wonder who is this ‘other’ who takes pain to search match for his/her ‘other’ on matrimonial site by creating profile!!! Any guesses???) Now in ‘self’ category you will find those brave ‘boys’ and ‘girls’ who are real warriors participating in the battle of finding suitable match for them by creating profile on their own. (Fact : The count of boys creating ‘self’ profile comes higher than the girls)

Now if you think profile which has tag other than ‘self’ means it is really their parents, sibling and friend who are searching match for him/her then you are mistaking. Some players prefer to play chhupa rustam game. They create their profile but cover up themselves behind the name of parents, sibling, friends and yea ‘other’ too- I still couldn’t figure out who could be this ‘other’!!!! That you would come to know when you read their profile write up showing mixture of first person, second person, third person, singular, plural and all khichdi. One more proof, at the time of expressing interest they forget that the profile shows it is created by parent and the message shows their name in Regards J ( Fact : Some of them are genuine ones too.)

Now it comes about length of ‘about me’

Most of them will say it is difficult to describe myself in few words so they end it up with 2-3 lines only. Oppositely few would write thesis about themselves that too ending up with the lines ‘sorry if I have forgotten to share something.’ (Yaah you just have left writing about your neighbours !!!)Some ‘real’ smart people simply copy matter from other’s write up. I came to know about this after seeing similar lines in different profiles that too not only sentences but whole profile write up!!! copy cats here too!!! (How about registering copy right haan!!!)

Now it comes about things mentioned in ‘about me’

This is the place to advertise yourself with sentences flooding with adjectives. Now common stuff includes attributes such as ‘simple’ ( I don’t understand what simple means exactly !!!!if you are not simple then what you are!!! complicated!!!!) ‘God fearing’(having belief in God is fine but what is this God fearing!!!!why God would like to create fear!!!!)  ‘He must have handsome earning’ (Madam you want to marry a guy or his salary package!!!!)

Everyone likes music ( After getting married their fights would be musical..lolz)

After some common attributes now it’s time to have some' real rare' attributes. ‘As I love pets he too should have likings for pets’ ( you have to spend  life with human being not with the pet!!!!) ‘She should be bubbly and naughty like a child’ ( Please you grow up first before thinking about marriage. Mental level of maturity should also be considered along with the age criteria what say!!!) ‘She must look good and have fair complexion’ ( people also write ‘fair colour’ grrrr..thank God they don’t write’white color girl’..lolz)

Now let’s come to the intelligently funny part. Some profile creators make matrimonial sites really ullu by not paying a single penny and still they reveal their contact details. Now think how!!! See what funny things they do. What they do they mention their email id in their profile but in such a way that the profile moderator couldn’t get it while scanning the profile. See the example

xyz at ya dot come ( at = @, ya = yahoo, come = com) simple got the id!!!! Some ‘smart’ people mention their email id in regional language e.g. ‘ maru prolife id e j maru gmail id chhe’ oh!!!!!! going one step ahead I also came across the profiles where they write ‘you can find me on orkut’ for further communication!!!! Whatta way I must say!!!best use of matrimonial portal with the help of Orkut:P Poor matrimonial sites…lol if they have lock then the smart brains have the keys…..:D

To Jigisha---As you wanted me to write something on this I am dedicating this post to you...:)
