Today is my sister's birthday. And as a kid once i did try giving her all my gifts and toys. Back then that was the most I could do. I was wondering what special could I do for her birthday today to make it a little more special? Why don't I just write how it feels to have her in and have had her in my life?
Below are the few things about having a big sister that i relate to:
1. Dancing partner.
As a kid, we, oops nope , she choreographed so many songs and made all the little kids dance to her steps. Does anyone remember the "Fulchowki ko dada muni godawari bana" song dance?
2. Doing things she did.
Having started watching football because she did. The whole lot of movies that we have watched together. The exercising we did together. Following up a celebrity or an athlete because she did.
3. Ultimate stylist.
I never bought a dress as a kid, unless my sister approved of them. NEVER. EVER. She was my stylist.
4. Learning morals and good deeds.
My sister always taught me to be polite and kind. Although we fought a lot and used swear words, at the end of the day, she always said 'Conquer hate not with hate but love'. Every New Year or Dashain, she passed greeting cards to all her friends and schoolmates, and I did too. She believed (and still believes) in wishing everyone on their birthday, in making it special, and so do I. Her common phrase is 'May I be able to wish you even on your 100th birthday so I can also live longer'.

5. Fighting for the phone and the dial-up internet.
There was always a rule with her: she could make as many calls as she wanted and use the dial-up as much as she wanted but me !!! Nope I would get a beating if I did. And the fights for the phone? If any one of us was on the phone, we just wanted the other to hang up to save the bill. And disturbing the other person while they were on the phone? Well I guess that was only me.
6. Being popular in school because of her.
Teachers knew me as "Reshma ko baini" and so did a lot of schoolchildren. Yeah, yeah, I was popular for my own reasons too (like for my weird, crazy laugh). Nevertheless she improved my otherwise tainted popularity for my crazy laughter.
7. She is your guardian.
Having a big sister gives you an extra protective feeling that you wouldn't get from anyone else. She cares for you, takes care of you, love you unconditionally. It's like mother love and father love, but even purer and out of this world. Plus, you can look up to her and always rely on her.
8. NOT to forget the whole bunch of extra wardrobe.
The most amazing thing is the extra wardrobe you get. Wearing her new clothes before she does, fitting in her jeans, shoes and tees, what an amazing and awe-awe-some advantage. Wohooooo.
9. Secret keeper
Any friend of yours, even your parents, might share your secrets, but she won't. You can be your true self with her and she won't judge you. You don't judge each other - that's how it is with sisters.
10. Someone you are always proud of.
You never tell this to your sister, but you have always been proud of her. Whether it's her excellent speaking skills, hosting skills, managing skills, dancing skills, bravery, or small to big accomplishments, you are a proud sister.
Here was a small list of many things about having a big sister. I love you, my devil sister, despite what I say or have said like "I will smash your head in a big big big pot". Happiest birthday.
