On that note, I move my focus to the real muse of this article, Pooja.
She was the better, more sincere, cuter one - in short she was the Sharma ji ki beti in the house! While I agree she was, childhood with her was bitter-sweet with us almost strangling each other over who got more Maggie to sharing candy that we got in school.
All in all I had confused - mixed feelings about being the elder one!
She, being better at most things - adulting being one of them, was with me in the most difficult times. She did the reading for me and saved me the mehnat of going through self - help research and shared all the great insights. She enrolled me into Reki and boy, that changed my life.
I chose today to share this because its a special day - it is the day I was born and Pooja in the past couple of years has helped me be born again!
This post is not only about me going senti about my baby sister, its life lessons that I learned from the transformation. The life lessons of acceptance and being open!
I realized that I was the real reason behind good things taking a U-Turn from a foot long distance because I would shut everyone with judgement and anger. I would always think - "Isko kya ata hai, yeh mere se choti hai" this was my ego that spoke every time someone tried to be nice.
It was only after I hit rock-bottom, sometime in 2016, I surrendered to her beliefs and started saying YES!
I learned that wisdom can come from anywhere, anyone and anytime.
In the year that went by, I actually believe I am 1% wiser and 100% happier!
Acceptance is the other virtue I learnt thanks to Pooja. This people around me will agree, especially Pratap who is the pillar of my existence and a topic for a full fledged blog. Our fights (yes they continue to exist) don't last for as long as they used to and are more to the point now.
I have started accepting my follies without muttering and guys that has had such a positive health impact! With sugar levels perfectly normal and BP being in the state of Nirvana, my body seems to be healing all the damage done in the 30 years that went by.
All this, with just being open and accepting!
To anyone reading this today, I urge you to sit back and think of all those people who you dismissed as too young, too illiterate or too whatever and think of what they said. I can say this with my own experiences, not just with my Wise-Monk of a sister, but with so many others, that my openness to them has helped me more than them!
So cheers to the good that is just waiting to happen and to me (I hope you still remember that its my birthday😉)
