siblings: oh so imperfectly-perfect creatures on earth

There is always something about these siblings. Ain't it? Remember?? you are so so happy with the new toy that dad got you today but as it comes inside the house, you younger brother or sister wants to break it, hide it, kill it or whatever but do not let you play with it. It is your birthday, you are destined get a new dress and new shoes for the special day, but it is your siblings who get the same importance on YOUR day. Huh!!! Excuse me!!...I AM THE ONE WHO WAS BORN ON THIS DAY!!!! Ahhh..who cares?? Imagine, you are going to have a payjama party with your friends at your home in your room with a little privacy, but hey! what is this? Your younger sibling intrude into your room and do not want to move without the hefty bribe. This is what we all have faced with our imperfect siblings.

Ever wondered why God had problem with me only, when I was happy being with my parents, being the only one loved and then came the DEVIL in my happy life. Just give them anything, be it a toy, your bicycle, your scooter or your laptop, it will not be returned in the same condition as it was handed over.

I remember giving my younger brother the keys of my Kinetic Honda -a scooter (OK YES, I did not like it to be called a scooter or worst, a LUNA...for God sake..nooooo), which were never returned with the key rings I bought with so much of enthusiasm. And then, the same fight with my father over why he let him touch my things. For which, I always got the same cliched answer "you are elder, try to understand". Gosh!! so when can I be younger to not understand sometimes. However, gone are the days of those battles and wars and we have come out mature enough to understand each other.

All of a sudden comes a day that the same ol' IMPERFECT sibling  becomes the treasure of advice in need (what a surprise!!). Also, we feel that we are becoming so overprotective of that one awful creature that this creature turns into the awesome part of our life. They are always just one call away, always there to be with you and sometimes when you need them, they go out of the way to help you with all their sources and strengths, though with a grumble!! Actually, this shows  how much they care and love us that they can't resist helping us even if they have something important of their own to do. I have yet to research on how these IMPERFECT creatures suddenly become so PERFECT especially for your sake that they leave your gobsmacked with the perfectly-done task assigned by you (again with a grumble..lol!!)

And hence, I have awarded them all with a Title - The imperfectly-perfect creatures..Ahhh!! How we love them.

Dedicated to Varun - An imperfectly perfect creature in my life..
No matter what, I am always there for you.
