Why are younger siblings so annoying?

-

 Hey y'all!

A lot of us reading this post are either a single child or a younger or an older child(duh, obviously). 

If you're an older sibling reading this, trust me you'll love it; but if you're a younger one, sorry but this is going to be calling out all your very annoying antics that you don't get scolded for and seem to get away with -_- If you're neither, enjoy me ranting about how annoying younger siblings can get :)

I am an older sibling with an age difference of 5 years with my sister and trust me when I say, no matter what the age gap is, the younger siblings are always very galling. Right from kicking you off the bed when you're asleep to singing creepy songs in the middle of the night to blackmailing you with the smallest things ever-they've done it all; and most times don't even regret and apologise for it.

Just a few of the annoying things my younger sister has done includes stealing my clothes, coming into my room while I was in a class and turning on my mic and camera "accidently", secretly taking my phone to see my messages and putting the blame on me in situations where she was clearly at fault.

And the worst part is, most of the time, they don't even get scolded for it😒

I'm sure most of us have had our younger siblings tag along in a social situation with you-whether you're just going down to play or have some people of your age home- every single time in my case(It's so vexing right?) She would constantly nag and beg at my feet and make those puppy eyes indicating "Please take me" and at times it gets so frustrating that you can't even no and have to take them with you :(

Nevertheless, its not all bad. They're your partners in crime and will definitely help you cover up your gaffes-of course there's a very real chance they will threaten you by scaring you with the fact that they'll tell your parents if you don't do something for them :P

They'll party with you late at night and help you sneak food in from the kitchen as well as give you "moral support" when you require it at 3 a.m. 

Of course there are plenty of pros to being the older sibling too :)

You get to 'friendly' bully them into doing things for you, you have a lot freedom to do things than your siblings and get to brag about it(hehe) and of course not to forget the sense of pride knowing life-altering secrets before your siblings did, like the truth about Santa :P

Every relationship with siblings is unique. No matter how annoying they get, at the end of the day you still love and support each other :)

That's it for today's #faltufriday post! Don't forget to share and subscribe for more :) Drop off if you're a sibling or a single child and some annoying things your siblings have done to trouble you. 

Signing off,

Kuhu :)

Blah Days

-
Image
  Some days rule: You feel like the most productive person in the world, everything seems to go your way and life feels good; you're on Cloud 9. Some days suck: They make you feel sad and all you want to do on those days is curl up into your blanket and wait for the day to end. And some days, are simply, blah: The middle ground. Blah days are ones where you don't feel your best - something just feels off; things don't seem to snap into place and the very idea of getting it into place leaves you with lethargy. But why are they important? Why do most of us experience it, regularly? Because these, unexpectedly, are the "scariest days": they make you question your current lifestyle, your environment, your life. I don't like the above thought. Instead, I like to look at them as perspective days. Blah days are those which help you realise what you're doing with life and what your goals are. See, when you're in a state of enjoyment or morose-ness, chances are...

"I'm Traumatised"

-

Recently, I was talking to a bunch of people and ranting about the Hindi syllabus of ICSE . For those who went through the system, you and I both know the struggle of reading Sukhi daali and Deepdan. For those who didn't, just be glad. The thing that irked me the most about that conversation was that they kept referring to the chapters as "traumatic." And I realised that this wasn't the first time such an incident occurred in front of me. By introspecting my conversations with people, I realised the term was trivialised, simply because they didn't know what it meant . Google defines Trauma as an emotional response caused by severe distressing events that are outside the normal range of human experiences. Take a second to read the underlined words: severe, distressing, outside normal. Trauma is a strong word. Unfortunately, it has become ubiquitous in our lexicon, applied liberally to describe an ever-widening spectrum of experiences. When you use this word in ...

The Broken Hot Chocolate Machine

 I've been in college for about over a month now. In the 40 days I've spent here, I've visited the food hall over 100 times - of which the Hot chocolate machine has been broken for over 90. Bombay's humidity was quickly replaced by Boston's "Fall" (it's winter guys) and the only thing helping me through the transition was a cup of hot chocolate every morning. But about 2 weeks in, the hot chocolate machine broke.       Initially, a piece of paper, closely stuck by tape, lay pressed against the machine: " Hot Chocolate Machine is Broken! "  4 weeks in, it's now a laminated sheet of paper, carefully stuck to the machine. Someone took the time to type it out onto a computer, print it, cut it, have it laminated, and stick it up to the machine. Do you know what they could be doing in that time? (Hint: getting the machine fixed!) This post is not about the machine. (Obviously Kuhu, it's a Mental Health blog - get to the point!) We often pro...

Mental Health Illnesses=Cool?

  Hey Everyone!! Welcome to Mental Health Awareness Month! So, we all may have a come across with at least one person in our lives who might have used the name of a mental disorder incorrectly. I've had my share too. I have seen a lot of people claim that they are "depressed" or have "anxiety" without really knowing what it is. Took me a while to understand why they said stuff like this, but when found out the reason I was appalled. To look cool, duh "Seriously?!" That was my exact reaction-in every tone imaginable. Sarcastic, shocked, surprised, amazed, aghast and what not! This very encounter is the reason why I chose to write to write on this topic and throw some light on why having a mental illness IS NOT "COOL". For starters, why would you want to diagnose yourself with something you don't have? You wouldn't do that if  it were a physical illness, right? You wouldn't say that you've gotten a fracture when its simply a spr...
