Someone once said, ‘A sister is a gift from God, sent from
above to make life worthwhile here below.’ I’m sure if I to were to introduce
him to my sister, he would bite his tongue.

I've got a sister who is three years younger to me and who
for the better part of her life has wished for this particular statistic to be
reversed. It is only in the last couple of years during which she has realised that
it is nigh impossible for such a thing to happen and that I’m the better person!!!
Well anyway since this day is about sisters, let me talk about her.
So Sudipta Satpathy, my sister, is a FRIENDS watching,
clothes shopping, money spending, continuously talking, eternally texting, ohh and did I mention clothes
shopping, 21-year old girl. If I’ve missed out something pardon me, it is after
all a lot of adjectives to describe a girl.
So what more can I say about her?! Our relationship is
anything but a conventional brother-sister relationship. I guess that is the
reason why I cherish it even more. She’s more of a friend to me than a sister. For
as far as I can remember we have always been at loggerheads about every single thing in our lives.
I have seen her grow in front of me from a child whom I’ve always
troubled to a girl who thinks she has the will to take over the world. From out
of nowhere she has matured a lot. But this has come at a price and a price that
my father has had to bear. She has contracted the disease that many girls of
her age tend to get. Shopping! Her wardrobe is the testimony of how many types
of clothes and accessories are available in Mumbai. I guess she must have secretly
hired a contractor to deepen her wardrobe somehow because for the life of me I cannot
understand how that small place that our parents had her built can accommodate
so many things. Our shoe stand is another place that has been illegally
encroached. But again no one has the power to complain!
Another person who is I’m sure grateful for her existence is
the owner of Vodafone. At the very least 1% of the total worldwide earnings of
Vodafone must surely come from my sister and her group of friends. Almost every
moment of their lives when they aren’t shopping, my sister and her friends
Sneha Varghese and Sneha Valsan (hope I’ve got their spellings right) are
either talking on the phone or texting. If their calls and texts are recorded
and printed, the book will be bigger than the Constitution of India.
Well I guess I should stop here. If I keep writing my post
won't end and eventually it'll crash the Google servers! This post is dedicated to
you (it is about you anyway), so you can cross another thing from your wish list.
Though I do not believe in Rakshabandhan this is a gift for you. Hope you've enjoyed it!
