Sago

We all have one person in life who stood with us at all times. That person may be our family, friend or relative. I do have such a friend, family and a guru in my life. That is my Sister. I used to call her Sago which means Sister ( Sagothari - a Tamil word ).

I do know that our bond got stronger and stronger just by more fights and kicks. I am a person who is very sensitive and act abruptly. On the other hand, my sago is a calm, polite and little kind one. 

Since the theme is based on Rakshabandhan, I am going to share with you all a funny story about me and my sago.

I still remember this incident which happened nearly 10 years back. On one such Sunny day, my parents decided to go for a relative function. Don't know what made them decide so, they leave me and sago at home, and told us to take care of each other. I think she was around 16 at that time, being a silent and obedient girl, she decided to cook vermicelli. At that time I felt too happy to have her as my sister. I was also hungry at that time. I can smell some food from the kitchen. After some time I just went to the kitchen and was overjoyed by the colour and texture of vermicelli. I also heard some bur - bur sound which was coming from my stomach. Once the food was prepared, sago pick up the plate and served me the food first. Being hungry I didn't think much, I was just happy with the food and made up my mind to finish it all. Once I had a spoon of vermicelli, my smiling face changed. I felt vomiting. She just killed me. I thought she served the food with love, but then I realised she used me as a test rat. I then got angry at her for adding too much salt. I fought crazily. My hunger turns into anger. Then we ourselves consoles and decided to dig a hole and bury the food in the soil. Till my parents return, I do not even eat a slice of bread. That day I survived only through water. Since then I got PTSD for vermicelli. At present my sago becomes a wonderful cook, but this incident remains forever and ever in my heart. I can also say this is a story of Vermicelli turning into Poisson.

Being responsible is hard and rare nowadays. My sago is that rare gem who stood for me during all my hard times. Whenever I got a problem or I don't know what to do, the only person that comes to my mind is my sago. Little got addicted and become dependent, but it's okay because LOVE IS BLIND. Rakshabandhan is not only a day for sister-brother love, it is also a day to show the love between two sisters too. I also think every day is more like a Raksha Bandhan since we share the love in different ways and through different things. 

With Love,
