I belong to a middle class family in which both the parents are working. My grand parents also live with us. My grand father is retired from the army and draws pensions. He is a strict disciplinarian and will not allow anyone to sleep after 5:30 A.M. All the children have to get ready for morning jerks by 6 A.M.He treats us as recruits in his training center. He pulls us up very often and my parents have no choice before him. If you have to visits my house. You have to be properly dressed. You cannot sit in our drawing room with legs crossed. It is against the etiquette. My grand mother is very submissive and gentle. She prepares breakfast and helps us in getting ready. Although she is past sixty yet she is very active and hard working. But for her we do not know how to move about.
My father works as an accountant in a private firm. He sleeps with a calculator in his father in his pocket. He maintains an account book for the whole family. He will not sleep before preparing a balance sheet. When we are busy watching T.V. program he can be seen taking everyone to task for not giving proper account of daily expenses. When my grand mother brings costly fruits it is balanced by simple chapatis next day.
My mother is the finest lady in the world. She does not poke her nose in anything. She is working as a receptionist in a private firm. She has to get up very early in the morning. She is always smiling. When she returns home smile returns to every one's face. My elder brother is a student of senior secondary class. He is a very serious student and does not take part in games etc. His mind is always fixed on P.C.M. (Physics, Chemistry And Mathematics).
I am the youngest in the family. Although i am a student of class 11th the whole family treats me as child. No one calls me by my proper name. I am "tiny" for all of them. I really feel very awkward, when my parents call me "tiny" in the presence of my friend. My friend have also started calling me by this nick name. There is no help because i cannot change my status with anyone in the family.
Ours is a very happy family and i wish it to prosper day in and day out....
