Take in & Take out

…. Continued from Part I

Siblings, this one I’m leaving upon you to identify in which part I’m talking about whom. I know these are obvious enough to guess but it’ll be an exercise for your junked brain. (Even this ‘junked part’ is targeted at ___)

Sibling __:

I want to take some cooking skills from you (especially the fried foods ;) ) and those surprise plans. I wonder if this one is still there (or I guess I already have taken it) but yeah I want to take that goodness/kindness part as well.

Ah! How can I forget? I want to take that control of one’s own laughter which is utterly needed in times of anger and befooling others and ….. in wrong (intense) situations.

I want to take away your desire of being so-and-so person every time on seeing some influential (and sometimes even not-so-influential) personalities. Alright, we do find some people impressive but how can you leave your own personality to slip into that person’s beauty/brain/character.

Present day ‘Take-away’- Please be a little less stubborn.

                                                                                                                                                      https://sarahmillerphoto.deviantart.com

 Sibling __:
I want to take the art of holding on conversations with interesting storytelling. I am so bad at telling stories that I can make most interesting stories into a mundane talk. (Kindly note, I’m talking about my Story-TELLING skills; I not supposed to bash my story ‘writing’ skills on a writing platform). And what to talk about your amazing memory which remembers the littlest of details even after a time span of years and years.

Obviously, I want to take away your shooting anger from you. The habit of making plans at first and trashing them later on. I fear if I should mention other things that I want to take away from you so let me wind it up here only.

Sibling __:

I want to take that amazing state of mind where you don’t get jealous or affected by the talents possessed by others. (I envy such things. Oops! Should I have admitted it openly?) And sometimes those on-the-spot-replies to remarks which sometimes need to be defended.


I want to take away your habit of not answering the question even if you know the answer, just because the other person is asking you to answer it. 
I wanted to take away that mess-it-up-all-over with your things flying here and there. (Of course, it’s irrelevant now, hence the past tense.) I want to take away your habit of leaving the things, or to be specific, sentences mid-way if you are not getting them; not even trying to comprehend their meaning.
  
And this one thing I want to take out from you all - Sleep; The ‘I-am-free-let-me-sleep-now’ part of all five of you. If not sleep, then the habit of asking me out to do the same. If you want to sleep, go and sleep, but don’t keep on asking me to sleep as well. “You must have been tired, so take some rest,” “You have to wake up early in the morning, so sleep,” “Give me company, so sleep.”

And this one thing I want to take from anyone who has it: To not to be affected deep down if someone takes a dig at me.

As the famous quote goes around:
“You grow up the day you have the first real laugh at yourself”.
~ Ethel Barrymore

“ 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

Growing forgetfulness

What could it be that made me take up blogging back again? Not some extrinsic motivation, but influx of considerable number of ideas on this topic. It happened to me about a month ago. I was so overloaded with professional work during those days that I feel I've suffered some loss of memory and even time. These days I am so consumed in accomplishing multiple works in a short span of time that my focus is diverted. Not that I've started to forget people, or something, but I used to remember the minute details of tasks that I executed during the day, which is sort of absent now. A few months back, there was a religious ceremony at my workplace. All of us reminded each other about it two days before. On D-day, I was clad in jeans-top - my usual attire - completely oblivious of the date. Then I spotted one of my colleagues, all decked up, wearing fancy suit and other cosmetics. Without any word spoken by her, I couldn't help, but utter, 'Oh it's that day'. I was lac

Hey Google

Somebody tell google to not keep expectations. They hurt. But I guess it's such a bad student. It keeps on notifying, "Expect rain around 8AM" and then be so brutal to my sentiments that all I can see out of the window is bright sunlight. Don't know how Google is dealing with its own life, given these high expectations.  Limited knowledge is a blessing in a way. Imagine the kind of scenarios Google would be evaluating, given it is aware of all kinds of diseases - the causes, symptoms and consequences. You don't have to know everything everytime. But this Google is stuck with endless knowledge base that is only growing  day by day  second by second, I must say.  And here we are. Still going into thought clouds and questioning ourselves endlessly in mere happenings of daily lives. For instance, a few weeks back I was afraid if I have kidney stones. I searched for its symptoms, I had one or two of them. I checked our anatomy and placement of kidneys, the pain was rou
