The New Year Post

Alright, fine! I'm a few days late, but it was made on New Year's day...HONEST! *evil grin*

I was just reading up on our Avurudu Festival and the UPS started to wail. Yes folks, we had a LONG power cut on the day of New Year Celebrations. And that was how we started off the day. (Excellent timing LECO!)

Then when the power finally came on after around 3 hours, I checked up on the situation of the country. Apparently we are winning the war that has been going on for over 2 decades now. Who states this? The government of course! And this is while the LTTE states otherwise, mind you!

"Although we are having some difficulties in the country, the economy of the country is improving" states the government. Inflation rates are skyrocketing, New Rice prices are beyond Rs. 90 per kilo and bread which could be easily purchased by the common man is now becoming a luxury. (Some Prices are stated below)

Maalu Paan (fish bun) costs Rs.25 in bakeries and ranges from Rs.35 onwards in pastry shops.

Prima Brown Bread costs Rs. 105 per 540 gramme loaf.

Finnagle White Sandwich Bread weighing 500 grammes costs Rs.85.

Finnagle kurakkan enriched diet bread costs Rs.66 for a small pack and Rs.103 for a 430 gramme loaf.

And that's not all, there's a whole list of brands and food products who wish to increase their prices after avurudu; this includes petrol/diesel prices. (Yes, AGAIN!!)

 

But, the government harps on the fact that this shall be one of the best years ever. Let's wait and see then shall we?

 

Oh! And Oba Samata Subha Nawa Wasarak Weva! *rolls eyes*

For the Brat.....

A sister can be seen as someone who is both ourselves and very much not ourselves—a special kind of double. -Toni Morrison

Definition of younger sister: (Use multiple choices of words) Unpleasant child, Little Horror, Little Monster, Brat, Pain in the rear

At one point of my life, I thought we would probably never get along. I mean, we had absolutely NOTHING in common. All we did was quarrel, pull hairs off our scalps, and try and injure each other as much as possible. I mostly blamed our five year age gap for this episode. She was an insignificant little horror trying to mess up my teenage years, always playing pranks on my friends, eavesdropping on our gossip and telling tales to my mother.

We would spend hours engaging in name-calling (with the use of our diverse profane lingo), physically hurting each other (ending up bruised and battered), and trying to out-do each other in every possible event/incident, and finally when we were tired we would just scream at the top of our lungs simultaneously, cover up our ears and continue the name-calling until we reached our own separate paths (the paths to our rooms of course) and finally slam the doors deliberately. Then we would celebrate silently behind closed doors.

The Present

“In the cookies of life, sisters are the chocolate chips.” ~Author Unknown

Definition of younger sister: Imperfect yet tolerable teenager, Flawed, yet passable sibling


The brat is now in her teens.

Although these petty arguments still come about infrequently, our relationship has evolved from its primitiveness into something more mature and beautiful; something I wouldn’t have dreamt of taking place. We now communicate in a civilized manner rather than jump at each other’s throats, since we have matured and now have things in common; boys, bitchy colleagues, clothes, parties make-up, exams, annoying parents etc. We now know that we are of the same kind, just a few years apart, and that if we want to succeed and rebel against our enemy and to achieve our goals (as mentioned in the things we have in common), we should work together rather than against each other.

So instead of name-calling, eavesdropping and telling tales to parents about each other, now we gossip, tell tales to each other about bitchy colleagues, mock them and destroy their vanity. Instead of physically and mentally hurting each other, we carry it out on our enemies and boys we think are worthless. *HALO SHINES* Instead of trying to out-do each other, we out-do the enemies (including parents) with the help of togetherness.

The Future

“Sisters is probably the most competitive relationship within the family, but once the sisters are grown, it becomes the strongest relationship.” ~Margaret Mead

Definition of younger sister: One who shares fond childhood memories, hopes, promises and dreams for the future. A woman who is greatly appreciated, dearly loved and forever connected by heart strings.


I cannot assure anyone what the future holds for us. But if we do survive the cruelty of this world and live another decade or two, I truly believe that I will find a long-lost best friend in my sister. I believe that we will become inseparable with the growth of our relationship and that we will indeed be connected by heart strings.

I might not be the most open and emotional of sisters but I want you to know that no matter how much people hurt you, physically, mentally or even just verbally, I will always be there to shield you from everything. Just remember that nothing is more important in life than your own happiness. No matter who or what is in your life, and no matter how important they are to you, if they do no make you happy and instead disappoint you, they are not worthy to be in your life in the first place.

Life is sweet young one, or at least, I will make sure it will be so for you…

I love you!
