I had promised my sibling that I’ll write such a blog post that they all will feel compelled to read it.
That was a promise I made in yesteryear, not literally, but yeah it’s been a long while.

It is:
Things I want to ‘take’ from so-and-so person, that is, qualities I like in them and which even I want to imbibe and
Things that I want to ‘take away’ from so-and-so person, that is, qualities I don’t like in them which I want to take away from them and throw them out of the window.

Alright, so what if you are not my sibling; You can read on just to know what all I want to imbibe from people and what are the things that I don’t want in them. Even you’ll relate to some of the points even if you don’t know the concerned people personally.

 Daddy:

I want to take (or better - should have inherited) patience from him. The calm (alright, not that calm but…) that he maintains and the way he has faced so many difficult situations, it is commendable.
One could have given up in such challenging times, but to face each of the challenges with such determination (maybe one doesn’t have any other option but to deal with it) and rise above all the shackles while still holding onto the grounds is something I look up to.
And what I desperately want to take away from him is his silence. His sheer silence on questions that I want him to answer. Not that the questions I ask are so bold or taboo which he can’t answer, he sometimes doesn’t even answer the questions which are so general in nature. I’ve never seen such a silent person ever and, I guess, will not see any, in near future as well.

Mummy:

I want to take her attitude of not ever coming back to this world. Even I want the same thing, but deep down I know that I’m not that good a soul who’ll get freed from this world so soon. So, whenever I try to make it a point before her she just denies. Call it denial or having complete faith or hopeless positive but it is what I want to see in myself as well.

Another thing I want to take from her is how smartly she acts in some situations. Had I been left to act in such situations, I would have handled the situation so differently and probably would have messed them up.

I want to take away her over-reactions or sometimes dragging the issue. The way she keeps repeating what she wants to get done AT THE MOMENT. I want to take her ‘making others annoyed’ factor away from her. You know the one who herself doesn’t get angry but sometimes behaves in a certain way that it makes other people annoyed/irritated.

“ First Benchers ” What comes to your mind whenever you hear this? Perhaps your mind starts portraying the picture of that studious boy with spectacles on who can only think of studies and studies only. Many of you would agree to this and possess similar mindset. Although, this might not be the case and just a pre-assumption. Let me give you an instance. You all must have seen those  pictures doing rounds on social networking sites  where first benchers are shown like geeks who know nothing beyond the world of books. We automatically assume that first benchers are like ‘ Chatur ’ (popular character of 3 Idiots); First benchers do not like to bunk lectures and….. all that stuff.  Busy in getting clicked or talking                                          However, the truth is that the position of the bench does not decide the type of student you are. Like, you may find that studious girl in your class who attends ‘mass-bunk lectures’ on any bench and not specifically

Of food and meal choices

I'm not really a fan of yellow dal (moong dal). So, whenever it finds place in our pressure cooker, I have to cater to my hunger needs myself. I prepare some alternative that I would be having as a full meal, which was red sauce pasta this time. Whilst others ate their dal and roti, they tasted my pasta too, but dad wasn't even tasting it. Upon my insistence, he took full spatula of pasta and poured it into his bowl full of dal.  This shook me to my core. I mean what taste would he have gotten of either pasta or the dal. Leave alone individual tastes of both, I couldn't even think of eating such a mixture. (While searching images, I found Moong dal pasta recipe. Where's the world going?) But I guess this lack of choosiness in meals is a blessing. Imagine how easy life is when you can eat about just anything eatable. Even I myself get tired of my picky nature. I often complain to my family that at least you have the choice to corner me out and eat your pumpkins, chana da

Cricket diaries

Disclaimer: If you are a fan of the Cricket sport and have visited this post for satisfying sport buds, please don't proceed with these expectations. About an year ago, we heard somewhat familiar sound in our house, but not so familiar that we could decipher exactly what sound it was and from where it was coming. What was more disturbing was that it wasn't once in a while noise, we could hear it on a daily basis that too at an almost particular time.  To track its source, I would failingly go in the direction from where it came until one day night. I flung open the door of washroom and the buzzing sound went silent. After a few seconds, it started making noise again. I moved it again to see if made any impact. It went silent again.  So, I closely inspected the door physically to see any presence of a bug. Nothing. I called my nephew to confirm if even he could hear the sound from same place or I was being mistaken. He affirmed the source. Now if it was something on the inner s
