My relationship with my sister...

"Having a sister is like having a best friend you can't get rid of. You know whatever you do, they'll still be there." — Amy Li

Amidst all the familial relationships that exists, a sister bond is something entirely apart. Many of you would agree with me that it is the most competitive and closest relationship, you have within the family. It is like a seesaw of love and hate that continuously goes up and down, depending on the situations. 

Of course, my relationship with my sister, Nishee is no different. We have our ups and downs, we still rant about each other's bad habits to our parents, we are still very much annoying as we were in our childhood but we also bring out the best out of each other. 

As I said above, we have not always been the best of friends- we just knew that we had no choice than to bear with each other from birth. We had our share of petty fights about the remote control, getting more ice cream/chocolates than the other or about who is the favourite of our parents. 

Despite all our childhood squabbles, we grew up to be very close to each other. For 19 years we have shared the same room, before I moved out into my very own room. However this did not stop us from spending a lot of time together which ranges from talking about the most random topics, helping each other to choose our daily outfits for work on the eve, to being the greatest supporters and fans of each other. We can totally rely on each other's criticism to improve ourselves-because there is no better critic than a sister. Trust me on that! But, if somebody else criticises my sister, I can be extremely offended and my inner self would probably be "reciting some really nice poems in the most flowery language ever'' for that person! Sometimes, my inner self can also get a little bit vocal when it comes to defending my sister! But then, if I am the one criticising my sister, I feel judiciously right doing so, because it's about my sister. I believe that this is a universally acceptable rule when it comes to sister-sister thing. 

People often ask us if we are twins [either because of our old habit of dressing up alike or because we look a lot alike (supposedly!)] and we often say we are. Actually, in a way, we are twins- we think alike, we have the same taste most of the times, we enjoy a lot of things together, we go out for movies, lunch, shopping, spa, coffee shops, beach... That's why we often use  #twinsters whenever we post something related to both of us on Instagram. 

Since childhood, our mom always dressed us alike and now in adulthood, we are still perpetuating this old habit- while breaking it on and off. But still- we always end up having something on us that coordinates with each other. 

And to be absolutely honest with you all, we have a thing for matchy-matchy outfits to be able to twin around!

We both have our differences and areas of likes and dislikes. While she is more of "taking a nap" person, I am more of a bookworm. She is a "tea-person" and I am a "coffee-person". She is a little bit of "less is more"and I am "more is less"- whether it is about shopping, make-up stuffs, books,... she actually prefers e-books, can you believe it? How can my own sister not like the smell of a new book?!! *I am being dramatic here*.  But the best part of it, is that we know each other's differences better than anybody else. 

I am more than glad that Nishee is my sister because there could not be any better sister than her in my life. The only thing I regret is not having the same shoe size as her. Friday nights and weekends are always fun with her. House chores take hours longer because in-between we would both be stopping to gossip and go on social media to watch funny videos together. Shopping online is always fun as you know, you have somebody to encourage you to go for that shopping spree or to stop you from going broke.  I can wake up in the middle of the night to tell her the most random thing ever just to irritate her and go back to sleep with no guilt. Despite the fact she is the elder one, we often find ourselves having our roles being interchanged in certain situations. 

In simple words, a sister is forever. And our brother is lucky to have two sisters!! Yes, we do have a brother as well, and we do share a special bonding with him as well.

Do you have a sibling to whom you are extremely close to? You can share your relationship experiences with us!!
