Would you rather…be an only child or have many siblings?

 Being the lone child has its benefits. The only child in the family frequently gets a lot of love and support from their parents. As they don't have to share resources or fight for their parents' attention with siblings, they can benefit from a greater level of monetary and emotional investment from their parents. The absence of other siblings can make travelling with the family simpler if you're an only child.

But, there can be drawbacks to being the only kid. Children who grow up without siblings, for instance, could miss out on developing crucial social skills like cooperation, sharing, and conflict resolution that come with having siblings. Moreover, they could experience loneliness or isolation, especially if their parents are unavailable or occupied. Also, because they are the only ones left to carry on their parents' expectations and legacies, only children may feel additional pressure to excel in school and on the job.

Would you rather…be an only child or have many siblings?

On the other hand, having numerous siblings can give a youngster an innate social network and a sense of community. Important life qualities like communication, collaboration, and empathy can be fostered between siblings. As there are always people to play with, confide in, and make memories with, having siblings can be a tonne of fun. But having many siblings also comes with its share of difficulties. Larger families may have to fight for resources and parental time, which can cause children to feel resentful and jealous of one another. Siblings may also have difficult-to-manage disagreements and rivalries and may not always get along. Also, maintaining large families can be more expensive, which can put financial strain on parents. I would personally choose to have numerous siblings. During your life, having siblings may be a tremendous source of support and company. Although there may be difficulties and disagreements along the way, having siblings can be a rewarding experience that aids in personal development. Of all, having siblings is simply one of many elements that go into having a happy and fulfilling childhood. In the end, deciding whether to have children and how many to have is a personal choice that is influenced by a variety of circumstances, such as family values, financial concerns, and personal preferences.

Imagine you are as big as an elephant or even a whale. Describe your day.

  It’s a strange thing, to wake up and have your first conscious thought be about the space you occupy. This morning, it wasn't the alarm clock that roused me, but the feeling of my own shoulders pressing against the walls of my room. Not in a crushing, panicked way, but in a firm, undeniable way—like a great tree that has grown to fit the exact clearing it stands in. I am massive. The first change was the light. My window, which usually frames a neat square of Bangalore sky, now feels like a porthole. The sun, a fierce orange ball climbing over the distant tech parks, felt close enough to warm the deep, weathered teak of my skin. My skin… that’s the second thing. In this form, it’s thick, resilient, like the hide of an elephant or the slate-grey, rubbery skin of a whale. The same complexion I’ve always had—the color of strong, sweet coffee—but amplified, textured by a life of immense scale. It feels less like a covering and more like a landscape, with valleys and ridges that catch...

Your Favourite Pancake topping is....

Journal idea Your favourite pancake topping is.. One of my favourite breakfast dishes is pancakes, and there's nothing better than a hot, fluffy stack of pancakes topped with maple syrup, which is also one of my favourite condiments. The sweetness and richness of maple syrup just elevates the flavour of pancakes to an entirely new level. Even as a little child, I have always loved maple syrup. On the weekends, my parents would take my siblings and I to a nearby pancake restaurant for breakfast, and I would always get the pancakes with maple syrup. I used to look forward to it every week, and I've continued the ritual into adulthood. The distinct flavour of maple syrup makes it stand out from other sweeteners. It's not very sweet like other syrups may be, but it's also not overly bland. The flavour is perfect, with just the proper amount of rich, buttery flavour and gentle sweetness. I enjoy watching the syrup slowly spread out over my pancakes as it adds flavour to ev...
