The quirky Indian family


This is my first blog and I am really excited! In our country, families play a vital role in our daily lives. The families treat you with warmth and a cute smile always. But on the inside, each family member has a quirky side. All the members of the family do have an unseen side. They all have a real self. They are all quirky and awkward; basically, they are themselves only when they are left alone. My family too is the same. So this article is a glimpse into the real lives of these families. So here is my and mostly everyone's, REAL family:

1) The scrappy sibling: This is the naughty, unorganized, awkward, crazy, eccentric and mad kind of child. This is usually the younger sibling. These children are capable of wearing their pyjamas on their head, drinking a bottle of cream or wearing their parent's clothes. My sister comes under this category.

2) The perfect baccha: This is the innocent, sincere, punctual, obedient and tolerating-the-atyachaar-of-the-scrappy-sibling-kind-of a child. They are the less quirky among others. They are engaged in their own activities, usually, and are hardly bothered about others. They have a specific group of friends who they are strongly attached to and share everything. They are usually introverts or a bit of both introvert and extrovert. They are usually the elder siblings. I fall in this category.

3) The majestic maa: She is the strictest member of the family. She is the lioness of the family. She collects food for the cubs, which the lion also feeds on. She is the queen, who rules the house. She can be crazy at times, but that's when you need to remember that you were born from her womb and keep calm.

4) The man of the house: This is the father. He is mostly busy with his work. He is a horrible dancer but loves dancing. Fathers show their quirky side to get off work load.

5) The gregarious grandparents:  They are the oldest members of the family but are coolest. They are just a bit less talkative then the scrappy siblings. They adore our traditional values and food. 

This is the typical bhartiya parivar. Some families also have a cute little pet. After seeing how our families, you must be surprised about how people who are so different live under one roof. The quote is true; there is unity in diversity indeed. That's why, Indian families are the best.

Perks of being alone

Solitude. They call it. Self discovery. I call it. My parents are on a trip to Thailand. Honestly, I thought I’d just sit at hom...
