Well I have got this quite amazing and sort of interesting activity to do when you're getting bored or just sitting idle or want to do some timepass with friends.
Here it goes-Just think of something someone in the world must be doing,just anything.
Like,for instance,while I'm writing this blog,someone must be writing his blog.Someone must be eating,sleeping,crying,laughing,screaming,scaring someone,playing pranks.Someone must have died,a baby must have been born,a murder must have taken place,someone must have got executed,someone must have got a pink slip,someone must have won a lottery.
Someone must have got married(poor thing!!!),someone must have got divorced,someone must be getting bored,someone must be fighting with her sister,someone must be thinking of his girlfriend,someone must be jumping with joy,someone must have just got a new job,someone must have lost weight,someone must be partying and at last,maybe someone must be thinking of this whole wide world just like me!!!! This chain goes on and on...........
Its quite amazing that this world is so big and so many things happen every second,every moment,all at the same time!!! I love thinking about things that are different,zara hatke or things that are supposed to be beyond our imagination or its just that people don't have the time to imagine such silly things(but they're certainly not silly according to me).
So with this ends my very short but not so bad(I hope!!) blog.
I hope I have given you all something to do and maybe even enjoy,probably when you just get bored like some of you must have felt after reading this blog of mine!!!
Adieu!!!
Grosses bises,

Snehish-a cute sister's cute language
Hey!!
Well I had written something about my sister,and of course her funny and cute language in my previous blog.
So,Snehish(thats what we call my sister's boli, because her name is SNEH ) is,as I said,a very cute language with a dash of gujarati which my sister probably learnt from her gujju teachers when she used to go to school.
She was the 1st student of POSAT FONDATION-a school for mentally and physically challenged students/differently abled,when the school had just started in a small space near a railway station and was conducted under a sort of leaking roof and now its as if the school has gone fron rags to riches.It has occupied quite a few classes in different schools across the city.Yah,so my sister left school just last year with a very acceptable reason of being bored,how nice!! We've been bored since years and never even hesitated from saying it and still we have to complete school.Anyways thats not the point,though I have got a good topic for my next blog!!
So,I was at Snehish.Well,just describing it won't be enough.I'll have to give a few examples!!
So before starting let me tell you that there are many words in snehish that have a rather simplified pronunciation than in English.
Examples:
Eng:enough
Snehish:eeeyunf (n is nasal)
Eng:friend
Snehish:fenzj (sounds weird,though true)
Eng:sister
Snehish:bhaaang
Eng:what is it? (kya hai?)
Snehish:shu chey?? (shoe-chey)
Eng:I'm bored
Snehish:bot shey.
Let me tell you some sentences.
whats your name?
Maaam shu che??
I'm not going to school,Im feeling bored.
Main tool ja nai,main bot shey.
Can't you listen?
Shooon(n is nasal) ney?
So,did you get a fair idea of my sister's boli?
Well this is not it.Whenever she learns a new word,we are the happiest people in this world.
The only mystery is how does she understand where to apply those words.Because it isn't that easy for their brains to understand such things,it does not come as easily to them as it does to us!!!
But don't think she's any less!! She likes watching all youngsters' serials and her most favourite is Remix which has gone off air long ago.Her favourite character still remains the same,Ashi or Anvesha and she utilises all the one liners that Ashi used to to as much extent as possible.Now she's so used to it that it comes naturally.The very famous ones are Hey Bhaggu and Duh-uh!! .
If you look at her,the way she sits and talks(to us,family memebers) she's no less than our daadi,you would say!!Well,once my mother had taken her to a doctor(don't exactly remeber for what reason) and by just looking at the way she sat,the doctor said that if she would have been a normal girl she would have surely been another Kalpana Chawla!!! Well that amazed me and my mother very much!!! Was that true?? Well sometimes it does seem so.She,according to her capability,is very much better and smarter than her counterparts but she doesn't have many of them.Her's is one of the rarest cases and there's no cure. But she's got all the attitude and does all the dadagiri that she can.How dare anyone in our house say no to her???
But nevertheless,shes our laadli and and no one but her brings out the fun element in our lives.
We have always been caring for her like a princess and nothing less and we will continue doing so and she will forever remain the apple of our eyes.
Lots of love,
Prapti

Peace of Mind
Thats exactly what I'm trying to achieve!!! But in vain...........why do siblings get so irritating at the wrong time???
I got this so called "Big sister" of mine (well thats how she wants me to address her)whos right now,at this moment speaking something and I'm obviously not listening because I'm trying to concentrate on my blog.And she is going to let me do anything in the world but write my Blog.
Too bad,I know!! Why oh why oh why???? Just a few minutes ago she was persuading me to discuss with her my birthday plans or rather her plans for my birthday.And what are those plans??? Well she wants to go out,WITHOUT ME and she probabaly wants to draw my attention towards her and wants me to beg of her to not go alone and not leave behind and blah-blah-blah.
And I did try doing so,so that I could get her to stay quiet for atleast a minute.But is she going to listen?? NO!! She carries on and on and on. Well thats what she does everyday.....or probably everytime I feel awfully bored and get just a bit cranky.
Well,as I said,she was discussing her plans and she said that she wouldn't let me buy a purple cake because she already bought one for her birthday and she was asking me whether I would buy a white one,and I,just like any bored sister,was simply nodding my head. And guess what?? She had objection with that as well!!! Well,I atleast bothered to nod my head while she was talking silly things.....wasn't that enough???
Well, according to me it was....but not according to her I guess.Anyways this story will go on and on.Theres no end to it,probably. Ah!! atlast shes gone into the hall to switch on that idiot box once again and see all her favourite daily soaps or probably the weekend ones.
But nevertheless I love her and I know she does too.So what if she cannot express herself because she's differently abled?? Having lived with her since I was born, I have very well understood her way of expressing and no one but all of us spending each day with her can understand what she says in her broken and funny and all the more cute language which is probably unfathomable to the common people.So theres absolutely no hindrance between her and me when it comes to expressing feelings,just like any 2 pally pally normal siblings.
Well,if you are wondering why I am so cranky today........it's just because I'm feeling bored,there's nothing to do or probably I dont want to do anything,vacations are going on,school for 10th will be starting soon,I have already started studying like a good student and obedient and ideal daughter but it still doesnt seem so appealing to study during vacations.
The whole day I've been having this feeling.When I got up,there was a sort of chaos.....no nothing wrong in my house...just that I got up a bit late,at a time when probably men are leaving for work and the maids or servants enter to do the chores and when the whole house is bustling with activity.And in the middle of all this was I,just getting up,you could still see that sleepinss in my eyes and the whole feeling was weird. So basically I got up with a cranky feeling and the whole day went likewise.
So while I plan or think of things to do tomorrow which might save me from going through another cranky day,let me take leave for today.
Lots of love,
Prapti

To achieve or not to achieve???
Today I got a Proficiency award for my academic excellence in school.It was kind of a little function organized with only the std 8 students of our school and the prize winners(not only of proficiency)but also of sports events and arts and craft events held earlier in our school.
There were only 4 students from std 9 for the proficiency (including me).
Just imagine,they didnt even call our parents.I mean absoluely chupke se they conducted the ceremony.TOO BAD!!What I felt bad about was the way they felicitated us academic achievers-we got a certificate which was,compared to the other certificates,far less glamorous and and our achievements were so deglorified sort of.
I mean come on yaar......isn't academic achievement a kind of achievement??
Why is it considered sort of "okay-okay,thik hai bhai din bhar padhti hogi is liye mil gaye marks.NO BIG DEAL"???
Well if its no big deal then you study and show........everything requires effort. Its not that I consider sports and arts achievements any less but why underestimate those who are academic achievers??? Thats just like discouraging us.
Ummm well they say that giving out prizes or awards according to the ranks(1st,2nd,3rd) will make the other students(low scorers)feel bad and dis-heartened or even jealous.So?
Giving out prizes in sports according to 1st position and so on ,wont that dis hearten the ones who failed to win the race or reach the finals??? Humesha padhnewaalon ko hi kyun target karte hain yaaar???
I just wanna say that all you achievers who feel dejected like me.....I'm there with you!!!!!
