how the time has changed!!

it is four o clock!!!i am at hme waiting fr my lil sis to come...

ahh !!finally !!der i can hear the auto...hmm...shes back frm her school..whch once upon a time used to be mine too..

yea she comes in a hurry removes her shoes and socks ..puts the bag off her shoulders!!dat must have been a big relief..(i kno it out of my past )





derr i was staring at her alll de tym..expectin a 'hi'!! not my fault ne idiot put inside a house all alone fr more dan 6 hours mite long for dat!!...so since i dint see dat cumin frm her i took de initiative .."hi sisi"..i told her...her immediate response cumes.."hii"...and again back to her work of gttn freshend up...yea i forgt dis..as soon as she enters de tv room de tv goes on..de same old disney channel...borin most of de tyms..(fr me)...


so i ask her :"hw was ur day gal"..she says"akka..enna akka i am tired..dnt irritate me"! phew!!! i tot, wat a response!!"kids des days!! good god!!"i tought..newys i gave her sumthn to eat..de tv was on high vol...she was so engrossed in it..

der de tym went to 6 ..my mom arrived..tired and all..and my sis cumes in (de busy gal.).she says hi..mumbles sumthin and off she goes to her room ..oops!! sorry our room..(its never been lik dat since i left to raipur..i literrally need to ask her permission to keep my thngs )

der back to our discussions...hmmm..so yea..der de gal is completin her assignmnts..got a couple of tests to tackle de next day..and one recitation..By 8.30 she finishes off her home work..nw moves on for dinner and den later sum studyin and wid all d tension in her face she goes off to sleep...as she needs to gt up at 5 in de morninig fr her test visions or revisions..


so went a couple of days more lik dat..den comes de weeknd..de time ne child wud lik..de free end of de week to relax..but i cn say my sister silently dreads it..its de gal's hectiest tym of de week...she cud give evn de chief ministers a run..(nw dats a lot exaggeration)

de gal has her dance class.music class and her abacus and der respective practise sessions..huff..so busy..if not outside de house else de school keeps her..she has no tym to talk or play wid me half de tyms..wid me sittin idly all des days..i feel so vexed nd bored...and de worst part not being dat ..but de fact dat i was nvr dis busy even during my boards or even now..(being in my final year of engg).



10 years has chnged a lot..my 6 std was so simple..today i see my sis face it..such a mental toil..competition spirits range high..i personally never felt competion till 9th std..,,if dis is de condition nw wt wud be de condition den ..children nw cant afford mediocracy..rather not evn talent in all...but xcellence in every feild has been forcefully made de order of de day...



wer is de world heading to..are de children actually realising wt de are achieving or y de are doin it..its simply has become de order of de day!!

its just not the education system,but evn de pressure is on wen it cumes to xtra curricular..there too the competition is tuf..der was a time wen ppl used to excel only in either of des..but seeing the children nw i find dem excellin in both..still being far away frm fame!!

i feel ur sis is only like that.. ma sis is in 10th n she is totally passing the time.. she studies too but has free time too.. maybe she feels the pressure too much..
