My Beautiful and Adorable Sister Ms. Black

Year’ 1994, this is a recall of the beautiful memories about my younger sister Ms. Black.

Ours is a middle class family in India and we lived in Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu. My home is less than a kilometer away from the Bay of Bengal where occasionally my brother and I will venture out for playing in the sea shore. My father is a government servant and my mother is a housewife. I have one elder sister and brother.

When I was in 8th grade, our uncle told us about Ms. Black, a cute little girl waiting for adoption.

My brother and I convinced our father to adopt Ms. Black. Remember, we are middle class, running the family with existing members only, it will be challenging, but my father agreed for adoption since he never disappointed us and was always there to support us.

Coming to my little sister, Ms. Black, she was beautiful, adorable and always smiling.

She loved to play with us, and even though she is younger than us, she acts like an adult by taking care of our health, pushing us for early morning walks and jogs. Sometime in the evening too.

One thing that really surprised me was that she never shared her food, especially her favorite chicken! To instigate her, I would try and grab the food from her. That’s it, my cute little sister transforms into a different avatar, nobody will dare to get near. Everytime, I failed in my attempts, even after a barbaric playful fight. But you know, just after food, her avatar will go back to the cute one!

Best thing about my sister, she learns everything by observing, unlike going to school (a boring activity). Somehow my sister convinced the others about not going to school. Surprisingly, we don’t know how, but the whole family stood with my sister, since she has got excellent observing power which nobody can beat. She will sit beside us during our studies and watch us throughout learning, but wouldn’t disturb, not even a bit. Infact her sincere observation will keep us going in the study.

She communicates by her own universal language which is quite amazing and all of us got onboarded quickly in her language platform.

She has got various face reactions for various emotional moments. All are cute. After seeing her face whatever be the stress everything will fly away. Psychologists can get a great deal of lesson from my sister; how to change any stress mode to a lighter mode in a jiffy.

Contrary to the cute part, she is also daring, in some cases even my brother and I need to take a step back considering tough situations in handling bullies in the ground, my younger sister will put a brave foot forward which will scare away any bullies!

I just want to recall my sweet memories in this tough time, so we can breathe and feel those beautiful moments to replenish our positive energy, to overcome this pandemic situation.
