Sharing Our Feelings

After returning home from school, there are two people with whom I like to share all my news. They enjoy listening to my tales. The first person is my nani. She is always anxious to listen to me. She waits for me to return from school. She is quite old and often has back pains. She cannot see or hear well. Everyday in the morning, papa reads the newspaper aloud to her. She does the rest of her work herself. If someone tries to help her she gets very upset.Though she cannot see properly she is very fond of cutting vegetables. She says – these days children do not know how to cut vegetables properly. Sharing Our Feelings know what our relationship is but he is a very loving brother. He is always ready to answer my questions. He never says –I will tell you later.

Ravi bhaiya teaches in a college. The students of the college respect him a lot. A few of them come home to study from him. Ravi bhaiya is very fond of listening to music and taking part in plays. He enjoys chatting with his friends and going out with them. He has a good sense of humour and makes all of laugh. The second person is my Ravi bhaiya. He lives with us. I call him Ravi bhaiya and he calls my parents –bhaiya-bhabhi. I do not know what our relationship is but he is a very loving brother. He is always ready to answer my questions. He never says – I will tell you later. Ravi bhaiya teaches in a college. The students of the college respect him a lot. A few of them come home to studyfrom him. Ravi bhaiya is veryfond of listening to music and  taking part in plays. He enjoys chatting with his friends and going out with them. He has a good sense of humour and makes all of laugh. Bhaiya carries a white stick when he goes out. Looking at

him, moving around in the house, no one can say that he cannot see. He likes to do all his work himself. If someone tries to help him against his wish he gets angry. Whenever he needs any help, he asks for it. Some of Bhaiya’s students take books from him and return them after recording them on tapes. Ravi bhaiya listens to these tapes. Bhaiya has many other books too. The pages of these books are thick and have rows of raised points (dots). He reads by running his fingers on the raised dots. To have fun with bhaiya, I sometimes change the place of his stick. He does get upset but never gets angry. After all, I am his favourite sister – Seema. I had hardly reached the door that bhaiya spoke up – Seema, you seem to be very happy today. Bhaiya recognises not only me but all the other family members from the sound we make as we move. He can even tell whether I am happy or sad.Bhaiya ! Finally I am in the football team – I shared my news with him. He patted me and said lovingly – From today, you are my football coach!
