My Home and my Family by Mayank Sharma

"India"...India is a country where diverse religions and cultures are followed. There are Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Parsi Communities, etc. Every has its own ways of worshipping God, living and even dressing. But some of the things are common in all the communities like an overall living structure. An Indian family, just like any other family cares for each other, longs for each other and loves each other. Well I think, enough of introduction, so, lets come to my family. My house is a three-storeyed building with 1 kitchen, 3 bedrooms and 1 drawing room. Its very sad to tell that neither there is a park in front of my house nor I have a garden...:( My family consists of 4 members. My caring mother, my loving father, my adorable grandmother, my sweet sister and ofcourse me! We have lots of affection for each other and care for each other. Like the other most families in India, my father works as a businessman and my mother is a homemaker...really she is! My sister studies in 9th grade, I in 8th and my grandmother is very fond of worship of God and offering songs and prayers to them. She was once a teacher too. My mother makes delicious food everyday which I love to eat. My sister is very caring and helpful and helps me in my school work. She is a great artist too...! My father fulfills my every demand. Well, I think that I being a teenager have some responsibilities. They are-

RESPONSIBILITIES-
1. To remember and understand our responsibilities and abide by them.
2.Not to break the trust of our parents.
3.Study and not get distracted by the other children.
4.Honesty should be our main principle.

ROLE- Teenagers have a great role to play. They are sometimes the one who solve disputes between the family members but can also be the reason of dispute.We should not be carried away by idle thoughts and become and independent, trustful and wise child.

CHORES WE MUST DO-
1. Doing basic work such as watering the plants.
2. Minor household work like dusting, grocery shopping,etc.
3. Helping our parents by doing small little work such as washing the vegetables, washing fruits, etc.
4.Keeping our rooms clean, neat and tidy.
5. Helping the parents when guests come to our place,etc.

PRIVILEGES-
1.Freedom to go out with friends.
2.Freedom to explain our point.
3.Right to choose our ambition.

THINGS I DO IN SPARE TIME-
1.Sitting on Computer. Playing games on computer, surfing the net and how can I forget- "collaborating".
2.Listening to my favourite melodies and music.
3.My favourite past time- STUDYING.
4.Watching TV shows and programmes suited for my age.
5.Cleaning my room and cupboard because it is always messy.

So, in total, the life of an average teenager is nice.We are allowed to be a bit independent and take responsibilities on our own.It is a bit sad while a bit happy. It is a combination of emotions and work. So, that was all...I love being a teenager and becoming self-dependent. At last a beautiful quote on life-
"Life is like an hourglass. Eventually everything hits the bottom and all you have to do is wait it out until someone comes along and turns it around"
