So here goes.
This week my sister decided to pay me a visit. So starting this past Saturday we have been having what we call our very own Sister’s Week, our emotional Catharsis really. We often tend to do these things just for the heck of it. I remember we had our very own Sister’s Day once. It was when we were in school and had managed to save around Rs.1300 from our pocket money. I think December 13th 2002 was the date. It was fun. After our Crazy day we walked the whole way back home from the Town Center, which believe me was a long, long walk. We didn’t even have money left for cab fare after the shopping spree we had that day. So this week has been all about two sisters getting together and talking about everything, anything till the wee hours of morning.
Well, something tells me this week the C’s are going to more or less revolve around her.
As soon as my sis landed at my apartment she insisted on Cooking for me and I let her! But then there’s that nagging big sister side to me that just couldn’t let her go trotting around alone in the kitchen. So there I was sitting in the dining area keeping an eye on her every move, out of a very motherly feeling of-course. But it seems my ‘watch’ made her so nervous that she ended up making the worst Cauliflower Dish of her life. I don’t know if it was my being there but the dish surely was a disaster. So at the end of that day the Cooking department came back to me while she settled comfortably as my assistant.
When my sister is with me we end up watching loads and loads of movies. This time too we have watched at least 10 movies so far and intend to watch even more before she leaves. From boring flicks like ‘Our Idiot Brother’ to interesting ones like ‘An Education’, ‘Hope Springs’ and ‘The Lone Survivor’ we have been churning out one movie after the other from our ‘To-Watch’ list. So it has been a week of varied Cinematic Experience for us if I might take the liberty to say so.
Since we are of the same size, well more or less, we exchange our clothes every time we meet. Thus we end up with a new wardrobe at no cost at all. This time too she brought me some of her clothes and I gave her some of mine. And of course, what’s a Sister’s Week without a shopping spree. So out we went with the mission to buy awesome clothes at slashed rates, this being the Season of Sale. But fortunately or unfortunately we came back with bags of clothes at usual rates. Not our fault really, whatever we liked was just not on sale!
We are essentially the laziest sisters there are. So our favorite pastime is to lay on bed with our laptops and television on. You can imagine what that would lead too apart from two couch potatoes? This lethargy of ours has resulted in so many cat-naps in between movies or sitcoms that I think I’ve exhausted my quota of sleep for some time!
There these were my C’s of the week. What about you?
My fellow Bloggers Richa Singh, Shilpa Garg, Sheethal and Suzy are taking part in UBC. Drop in and cheer them too if you please :).Trust me nothing motivates us bloggers more than a comment from our readers!

Hey Nice Post

And such get-togethers are fun, aren't they?
Thanks Ali 🙂
I miss not having sisters to share and enjoy doing all the girly things! I have 2 elder brothers who wouldn't want to be seen anywhere near me when I'm in my shopping moods. I think my husband has picked up this knack from them too 🙂 Enjoy you two girls and have a blast 🙂
Oh I know what you mean! you can enjoy with your girl gang of friends 🙂
And thanks Prasanna 🙂
C is for Catharsis! I couldn't agree more!! A wonderful post, Nabanita:)
These would be my Cs too!! Though the cat-naps have reduced considerably now, but at one point of time I could doze of anytime, anywhere!!
Enjoyed your set of Cs. And enjoying them with your sister is even more fun. Looks like you and your sister are very close. Lovely.
Thanks Amit..glad you liked it 🙂

Yes we are Suzy , she's my small baby still 🙂
A fun filled list of Cs, I don't have a sister 🙁 missed this totally.
Ohhh! Well you can have the fun with friends or even brothers I guess 🙂
Thanks for reading!
All new wardrobe at no cost at all is more fun than anything else…I'll take disastrous sabzi if only God decides to lend me a sister in another life 🙂
Looks like both the sisters had a lot of fun. The post reminded me so much of my fun days with my sister…. now since we stay far, we make it a point to have loads of fun when we get together. Loved your set of C's 🙂
hehe ya I know what you mean and I wouldn't trade the disastrous sabzi or the one who made it for anything 🙂
I know…even we live in different cities that's why any time we get we try to make the best out of it!! 🙂
I am close to my sister and the C's are the thing for us too… Clothes and cooking rank first n second..:)
hehe I guess all sisters are alike Preethi 🙂 Cheers to sisters!
Loved this post so much Nabanita..Can relate with every aspect of it except for the cooking.. I never dare to let my sis cook something :-(..a horrifying experience ! And the best one is..
"We are essentially the laziest sisters there are. So our favorite pastime is to lay on bed with our laptops and television on "…a tough competition from me and my sis as we think we are the laziest 😛
haha maybe the four of us can settled for being the laziest sisters in the world! 😉
