Siblings

"He is so annoying" "she is writing with my pencil,pulling my hair and on top of that she is  sitting on my seat" " What about him?" " He is destroying my books, pulling faces and doing disgusting tricks on me again." "That's not fair!!"

These are some of the many complaints heard from us about our siblings. 

Arguments ,fights, bets and quarrels are only half of the journey you undergo with your sibling.With them you might have to share everything- books,pencils,toys,games,clothes,jewelry and even your parents attention and universe but what we forget is that we can also share our joy sorrow , troubles ,happiness  and load so our sibling can help us remove something off our shoulders.They are our constant  companions. I'm sure you all might remember the situation where you had to stay home and be with your sibling rather than going to play  with your friends  not even tantrums would change this decision it was like one stubborn mule. You'd feel doomed that  you had to bail on your friends to be stuck with that brat. I think that this is just a phase and that when we are older or when our sibling is away we wouldn't have that much of a problem skipping time with our friends and spending it with our family. Siblings are like our backbone they support us in most of the things except when you bet whether that guy would wear yellow or purple today.No matter how  many pranks you played on them they   still are the ones who care for you,support you,protect you,help you, play with you,teach you ,assist you ,  love you, drive you nuts ,make you happy, mad , angry  sometimes confused or even sad.

My brother consoles me whenever I cry and he goes to the person who made me unhappy and asks them to apologize to me he does all this even though he is only 3!! He might break my board games and tear my books but  I' m pretty sure later he wouldn't have any objection in buying me more games and books than the ones he destroyed. Even though he scratched my face plenty of times I still love him.  Except at the point of time he scratched me cause at that time I'd be really grumpy.

Siblings  have an unbreakable bond and  stick with each other even in the hardest circumstances by forgetting all about what we have against each other and we should cherish the memories especially  the ones where you played jokes on each other.

We shouldn't consider all the arguments ,fights, bets and quarrels as barriers that are preventing us from connecting with our siblings. Let us all bond with them and try not to pull each others' hair off.

Brilliant World of Tom Gates-Book Review

"Woke up-listened to music
Played my guitar
Rolled out of bed (slowly)
Looked for socks
Looked for clothes
Played  some more guitar
Realized I hadn't done my " holiday reading homework"
Annoyed my sister Delia(time well spent).
Hid her sunglasses
took my comic into to read"
This is how  the ten year old ,kindhearted, doodle artist Tom spends his morning leading him to be late  to school(4 minute walk from home) and driving his teacher Mr. Fullerman nuts. Tom's life is hectic- tolerating Marcus  , avoiding Mr. Fullerman's  beady eyes while doodling, completing homework, annoying Delia and Dog zombies band practice -band inspired by Dude3(best band in the world) but he still finds time to land himself and his best  mate Derek in trouble  Mrs. WorthingTon(not tash) ,Mum , Dad, Amy(not for long).From embarrassing pictures to homework excuses, crazy camping trips and fun doodles  to Dude3 concerts Tom undergoes everything.
Filled with amazing doodles and catchy titles Liz Pichon's book makes you crack up  and laugh out loud every time you read it.This is a book that  takes to the  brilliant world of Tom Gates while I was reading it I remembered all the crazy antics me and my friends did at school .I am sure you'll not put it  down until you  are done reading.
This is a book for you if you enjoy humor, fiction   and"  Diary of a wimpy kid " by Jeff Kinney.
I advice you all to read it.

Screentime📱

We know that the earth revolves around the sun and of late, the people on it are moving around with screens . screens have turned out to be a necessity. Every other person is seen with a smart device, it could be a phone, laptop  or a tablet. I agree screens have their own advantages  .They allow us to connect with people  all over the world through mails, chats and social media. Thanks  to smart devices and internet information that might not be in the books around you is just a click away. Netflix, YouTube , videogames and Prime will prevent you from saying " I am bored !! ".Ensuring that screens provide entertainment, I'll move on to sharing our thoughts to social media and blogs like this one. E-Commerce has made it easy to order from multiple sites with guaranteed  quality , delivery and return.
All these benefits have equal or more losses . Screens generally known  to harm your eyes can also disturb your mental and social health . Did you know while we are gaping at our screens we blink less than half of times we are supposed to??
Addiction towards devices will make you and the device inseparable . you'd  be stuck to it as if there  were glue. You would spend more time with devices than your family and friends. While you are under the enslavement of these screens you will lack physical activities turning you into a "big fat couch potato"  . You will also be physically fatigue where your muscles will  be sore and lack energy. Wii fit, Just Dance, Eye Toy Kinetic are some of the video games that have hoodwinked us to believe that video games are exercise. you wont believe this but a recent survey conducted said that kids spend less time outside than prisoners who are stuck behind the bars  and are yelling" let me out!!".2000+ parents agreed with this survey and some of them added that their kids refuse to play outside without technology being involved . There is more the more people on media, there more false news, cyberbullying and hacking . Side effects of extremely long hours if screen time also include-irregular process of emotions and early death due to metabolic syndromes and 100 reasons I mentioned earlier. speaking of emotions people are now depressed when  there are less number of views, comments and likes for their post . They forget about what the world is without media- friends , family , sports ,nature ,hobbies , music, art ,dance,experiences and memories.
Let us all limit our screen time and decrease it little by little . If it is 6hour then by the end of the week make it 5 later make it 4 and eventually make it 1.which is considerably a healthy time compared to 6.We all are depend on these screens lets forget them and unplug.

EYE👀

Recently I was studying about the anatomy and physiology of the human eye when I realized that it was a complicated organ that is extremely vital in our body .This 1 inch eye that is the fastest muscle could do wonders from helping us see (which may sound less but it is a lot),recognize objects ,and bawl during sad films.
125 million in  number photoreceptors  are specialized cells that convert light energy(that entered from pupil to retina) to electrical impulses helping us to see different colors,
 I thought there are 7 colors-The VIBGYOR🌈. But I was wrong.. To my surprise this tiny eye can differentiate between
more than 10 million colors... WOW... :), 😮🤯
I was enthralled  and amazed by how much our eye does to help us see  just in one object .
I learned that us humans blink more when we talk, lesser when we read and least when we use electronical gadgets which is why  gadgets have a harmful effect on our eyes.
If you are a chatter box like me in that case you blink more. I do blink a lot and I am a chatter box with continuous flow words, hmmm make that a flow sentences, no...scratch it . It is continuous flow of paragraphs.
In fact the more I read the more fascinated I got and the more knowledge I grasped . It took me a few more minutes than usual to learn and understand that even the photoreceptors get tired that is why  when you stare at turquoise color for too long and then look at a white surface you notice a faint  red color on the wall.....
These might  be strange and sound like fiction but these are the marvels of the eye. Trust me it is the truth.
 I suggest we all should take immense care of the gift of vision and later pass it on ....

BIRTHDAY 🎂🎈

Birthdays are one the most important days in ones life . On this day everything is just expected to be perfect; Well this is how it went for me too until the last couple of years.
The planning would begin months ago  and while the days rolled by ;the dresses would be stitched , the cake ideas would be shown to the bakers , the party supplies would be en route to our home.
When the day finally arrived I would attend surprise parties ,play with my friends , and ensure that the party I was hosting was flawless.The guests would come pouring in bringing me presents of various shapes and sizes , have loads of fun and then they would leave with their goodie bags filled with surprises saying that the party was exemplary. 
This is how it went until my eleventh birthday when only three of my friends and two of my cousins  were supposed to tag along.We went to an  archade and ate dinner and  dropped my friends home where I cut the cake, well the decorations weren't massive  but they were extremly elegant(my mom and aunt did it) .Later my dad took me  for bowling . In the end it was great .The fun was just the same with less people.
Next birthday was nothing more than a surprise party organized by my friends and dinner with my family . This too wasn't much of a put off because I still felt that my day was special .
Entering into the teens my thirteenth birthday was not up to what I expected as I celebrated it within closed doors thanks to COVID lockdown .   Surprisingly my anticipation wasn't  as much as it used to be . The best part of it was the cake my mom baked (it was scrumptious ).My friends even the ones who moved to another city video called and wished me. Later I realized and I still do think that this was one of the finest birthdays that  could have been put forward amidst the lockdown.

Reading...

It is so tempting
I don't want to stop reading
coz it is so interesting
And that is all I am doing
I don't know the definition of boring

My mom tells me to stop
but I'll read come - what may
And her great idea is a big flop
If I don't read, she will make me mop
everywhere including the filthy roof top
If I am done with that
Then I'll have to go to the shop

If you are reading, better not to stop.

Sun Shine

As the sun shines on the meadow,
and the winds fade away

I notice that it is another summer day

The lions grow their mane

and the mangoes are back on the trees

I notice them on my window pane
You would be chilling in the pool
instead of being at the school!

I would be longing to gobble up  ice creams and cakes

that I am eager to bake

I would love to cherish the memories I make.
