My sister my guide

"I have sent you one image in what’s app. Please check and tell me how it is." 
I called my sister and informed her as she did not check my what’s app ping for more than 10 minutes.
After 5 minutes, I got a ping from my sister. Color is good. Price is reasonable. But design is vague. Check for some other dress"
This is the usual conversation I have with my sister. It’s not only today and it’s not only for dress. But for everything under the sun. Be it a small toy I am ordering or the high end model mobile or life's major decision, I will not go without getting proper suggestion from my sister. People do say, Sister is a second mother. It’s true in my case. She has taken care, guided me from the childhood.
We both have a age difference of 10 years and that is another reason she always looks and treat me like a kid. When my parents were looking for kinder garden admission, they chose the one that my sister was studying. She used to make sure I finish my lunch properly.
During my graduation, I joined the same college where my sister was working. She guided me how to prepare for entrance exams. With me, she used to study and keep mock tests.
When she got married, I cried a lot and felt my heart was taken out from my body. It’s that point of time; I realized how much I was attached to her. But things did not change much after her marriage. She used to still call me and check how I am doing and ensure everything is going right in my life.
Whenever I have problem or I am not sure how to deal with a particular situation, I just make a call to my sister and ask her advice to deal with that situation. Sisters are the angles which are sent to earth by god. It’s very scary to think how my life would be without a sibling. Thank you so much my sister for making my life an organized and disciplined one. If my life is great, it’s because of your advice and guidance only.

Right Advice at Right time

“I am participating in the #SachchiAdvice Contest by MaxLife in Association with BlogAdda.”

What I am today is only because of my dad. My dad always used to preach one little proverb. 
“Study and work hard now; that’s the best gift you can gift yourself”
 I really could not imagine a life without his guidance. His support and advice was not in one area of my life. He molded at every aspect of my life. The best part was he analyzed what I need and guided accordingly. There are certain incidents in our life, where choosing one path would take us to huge success whereas taking another path would trash and spoil our future like anything
It was right after my graduation, I was put into one such situation. 
I got placed in a multinational company with a good offer; whereas my passion was to purse PhD in management.  Those days, this particular company in which I got placed has a good brand name. Like everyone, I was tempted for those flashy offers they were offering. Employees of that company had god future as well. Whereas, adding PHD after my name was my dream and I could not sacrifice that was well. 
On discussing this dilemma with friends their advice was, it’s your life, so you need to decide or take a decision. That night I reached home with a heavy heart and confused mind. I did not have my dinner properly. 
My dad was keenly observing my body language from far and understood that I was mood off. When I went to my bed room to catch sleep, II heard a knock at my door. I saw my dad waiting at the bed rom door. 
He entered my room caressed my head and said, I know what’s running on your mind. “You are confused whether to choose employment offer or higher studies.”
Yes dad and its number one IT Company in the world. Getting a Job in that company is the dream of many people. Whereas I can’t miss my higher studies. 
My dad advised me to accept the offer and work for few years, gain working experience and purse my passion of doing higher studies. With his right advise, I sent an email that night accepting the offer and joined the organization. After 3 years, I went for higher education. Now, My future is so secure and I am loving the life which I love the most. One right advice at right time changed my life
