Siblings ???

This argument has been going on in my mind ever since I was a kid and discussions with most of my friends did not help....so I thought I'll blog about it...Siblings or no siblings...I m the only child in my family and have always wanted to have a brother or a sister whom i could order around...show my affection..or being cared by someone..other than parents and friends....I've gotten myself into many arguments as to why a brother/sister is necessary. The only kid in the family gets all the attention and showered with affection....Most of the time is spoilt...though there may be exceptions (like me of course :P)...There were a lot of disavantages of being a single kid....especially when you need someone to talk to..someone who identifies with your family...and knows all your likes and dislikes...most of the time...those born with siblings feel that they do not get the full attention of their parents. I envy my friends/cousins when i see them fighting for crazy things and then consoling each other...woooow....I cant bring myself to fight with anyone...I'll do anything to stop a fight....be it friends or relatives or anyone...thereby being so good...thats why it probably feels good to fight with someone once in a while...of course I'd love to fight...but never had anyone to fight with..There were countless number of years when rakshabandan passed by and I wouldnt have anyone to tie raki to...of course my cousins were always there...but they all had their own sisters...so mine wouldn be as special to them as their own sisters...so never bothered tying one to any of them...No...when I was kid i did tie Rakhi to God...My Dad got me a small statue on that day and from then on that was a ritual...I'd be special atleast to him when all the other girls are busy tying rakhis to their very earthly brothers :P...Huuuuuuh that was too sentimental I guess..But then "The other side of the lake is always green from your side"...so this comes to an unconclusive end....hmmmmm...I've been like this for the past few days..Let me give it a break....I did try something with the Karaoke this time....It dint come out too well ...as this was not the original karaoke of the song....but I m posting this song just for the fun of it...I've always loved this song.....and hope you enjoy my version of it...any suggestions in the mixing/recording arena will be greatly appreciated :)

YES. You need siblings to share your love and emotions. Beyond that, it gives you a special dimension of love apart from parents, relatives and life-partner. If you ask me who is your best buddy and who is your best love...I would shout "my sister is the best". Yes. Thats true. My sister is the most lovable person. I don't really know how she finds her place above my mom. But thats true. So its very nice and great to have siblings.

I appreciate your efforts here. your blog has found a place in my bookmark. Nice to read your posts.

As the comment earlier says, u get another dimension of love.. You cant change ur past or its not in ur hands.. so u have lived a life without siblings and u r doing fairly well.. as long as u dont knw wht u missed, u will be fine. Now I dont quite agree with "Do we need" part.. seems like u r trying to justify they arent needed. Thats certainly not the case.. I think its unfair to have an argument on having/not having a sibling.. thats like arguing do u need friends or parents.. I am sure u have a few close cousins or friends who made u realise tht u rnt missing anything..

That tying rakhi part to statue is a heavy senti stuff..

you officially have a fan now.. gr8 choice of song, gr8 voice.. love tht song and u had me humming tht all last nite.

Ramki - Welcome back dude....long absence..approm konjam less philosophical posts ezhudhu...will you...ennoda chinna moolai ku nee ezhudhardhu ellam puriya mattendradhu...:P...Keep writing and thanks a bunch for the comments...I definitely do agree with you on the fact that having siblings is a very good feeling...:-)

Vivek - Huh...that was definitely a heavy one...tats why i decided to end that on a lighter note with a song...thx for the comments...Ok now over to the argument...

//Now I dont quite agree with "Do we need" part.. seems like u r trying to justify they arent needed.//

I was not trying to justify anything here vivek...Looks like my post title was misleading. You did not get the tone of the discussion though. Maybe i should change the do to dont :)

//I think its unfair to have an argument on having/not having a sibling.. thats like arguing do u need friends or parents.//

Well the discussion was not about whether we should have siblings or not...it is not in our hands anyway...to explain it more clearly...It was a mere comparison between a child with and a child without siblings..how they have their own pros n cons...but most of the time when i mention this to my friends who have siblings they'd say that I'm a very lucky person cos I m the only one in the family...I m just trying to say that it is not the case....they'll prbly realize only when they put themselves in my shoes :-)...Sorry if i was being rude here...but thats the way i argue :P

Vivhyd said...

hey prits.. i wasnt arguing.. just putting forth my point.. maybe some of the post was misleading.. hey argument is good.. its only misunderstanding which isnt.. I got ur point..

priti said...

vivek - yes you are right....good that you got the point :)

That was an interesting post!
"Ikkaarai ikku akkarai pachai" is not always true. Because, i have siblings and am happy abt it. i love my brothers & sisters a lot and i am their pet always :)

Sudeep Jana said...

first of all...awesome rendition to the song..its one of my fav songs too..so it sounded even better... ;)

abt siblings, i dont know whether i loved having a sibling or would i hav missed something if i hadnt had one. but definitely i enjoyed having a cute lil sister. i wouldnt say we hav a very close relationship...coz she is 9 years younger to me and we dint really share too much with each other. i was kinda big bro to her bossing around...:P just kidding...

but nevertheless, she is my sweet lovely sister and i am her big bro..

priti said...

Ha ha ...that was very sweet sudi...thx...and I know you have a cute lil sister....the younger the better ;)....I wish i did...nyways...you should definitely try your hand at singing you know *wink* :D

MMM..,, It seems lot of stuff within you.Since I am a new visitor to your blog, I really need time to view all your posts.
Your voice sounds very good for this song. Even though I dint get the full meaning of the song.. I know you have performed with the feeling. Technically... the breath inhaling sound.. May be you could use a professional Karaoke mic.
Good song, good performance, good writing, good comments and don’t worry for what you don't have, feel happy for what you have.Cheers
