HOW IT FEELS TO BE THE YOUNGEST!


Family is a very vast aspect. And to be a member of any family is a great thing in itself. I have a family - the great "PANDYA FAMILY". It is documented in history that Pandyas were once a royal dynasty. Now, they are simply common men and women living normal lives. In my paternal family there are TWO sisters and SIX brothers. And amongst these EIGHT cousins, there is me - the youngest of all- SAGAR PANDYA.

To be the youngest brother proves very boring and quite not beneficial at certain times. When you are a small kid, you will definitely follow your brothers and sisters everywhere. You will even cry to go anywhere with them. But the most tragic scene in one's life is that they even don't BOTHER about you. Certain do but not ALL. They really don't.

Now when u will be of 10 or 12.....

They will go to see a movie, will dine outside and will enjoy. Alone. Excluding the youngest.They won't allow you to act freely and to do whatever you prefer but they will FORCE you to follow THEIR instructions. At times, they will be so lazy that they will even ask YOU to fetch THEM a glass of water.In short they will try to RULE over your life. This is very bad mentality of elder siblings and cousins. Every , every elder brother will think of you as a spoon fed little baby, new and novice to the society and the world, EVEN WHEN YOU WILL BE 16!!!

Now, AS EVERY COIN HAS TWO SIDES....

There are even few benefits of being the youngest. Like, you get  much more love and care than the elder ones from your parents and uncles and aunts. Though thank God that all my brothers aren't same, but there are a few for whom I am writing this blog.

Besides, looking at the glass half full, I get more chocolates and get to watch more movies than the rest of them. Also, I get more cash on diwali then anyone else in the family from all the elders. The only time when things become irritating is when the elder brothers dont involve me in their discussions and outings.
They feel as if I am too young to understand or adapt to their talks. I just want to convey that I am not! I am old enough to understand their talks and gestures.

By the way, don't feel bad about anything after reading all this. I would also like to mention that I have a very nice, cool and handsome brother called  MAULIK. He is really a great bro.
So here is my final request and advice to all the kids who are the youngest in their families - Learn to live your life by yourself. HOW MUCH WILL YOU DEPEND ON OTHERS ???

Vacation is cool... Really???

It is correctly said that the school days are the golden days of life. Yet, if you ask any student that while schooling, for what he/she was waited the most? 8 out of 10 students will answer it is the vacation that they wait for the most. Isn't it?

Vacation means a long leave from study - very long. But still not long enough to satisfy some of the students. Vacation can be utilized properly or can even be wasted. After a few weeks of holidays, 5 out of those 8 students will comment that "I am getting bored in the vacation" - This means that they are not making good use of their vacation and infact nobody does.

School is always cool. If you learn to have fun at school, then every student will demand for extra hours at school. Where can one sit besides girls, flirt with them openly and learn so many things? Where can you play for 3 hours continuously? Where does one spend the most memorable days of his life with his friends? Can you think of any other place then the school?

Now you may be thinking how can all this be possible in even a school?
- Yes, all this is possible at school if you can be a good student of the school and good to your teachers. For that you merely need to impress your teachers with various tricks.

In vacation, you found none of these fun things and so it is boring. Fun is always there where there are friends. And friends are there at school only. So from my point of view, this long vacation is not required at schools.

One person who is no longer in school told me that vacation is more required in offices then in school. And I think its correct. Now you guys think where it is required and where not!
