Rujuta

She is one of the most precious persons I have got to be related with and by so close a relation as that of a sister. She has some unique characteristics of her own personality which she maintains, above all other things, consciously or unconsciously. In very much accordance with her name ‘RUJUTA’, which means delicate beauty, she is really very delicate and beautiful. I could never make out how our parents appropriately named her and didn’t make a mistake of giving me that name, which would have been very much inappropriate in any circumstances. She is four years younger to me and still stands taller than me, in both physical and intellectual sight. God will have to answer this unjust on his judgment day!

She has got some norms for life. She has certain ways of doings things. Some of those are much disciplined ones, which she would like to be done in that way only and some other are with no discipline at all which again she would want to be done with highest achievable degree of indiscipline.

She loves three things most- night sleep, day sleep and evening sleep! She can manage to carry out these tasks in very much continuation with almost nil breaks. Besides this prolonged state of being away from mortal world and it’s all kind of bustling sounds, she can even choose to ignore these things with same sanity while she is awake. I really wonder what earth she is made up of!

People say we don’t look like sisters at all or don’t share any behavioral pattern which can prove our relation. In apparent sense it is true to some extent but still there are some things deep inside us which make us alike. To mention a few of those - we both don’t want to be like each other, we both like to torment each other, we both like to pass on the tasks assigned to us by our parents to each other etc.

She has got a very good taste in everything like reading, movies, music, food, dresses and even friends. She has got some real gems as her friends - I literally had to beg her to include me in the list. She has got a good pace in doing things. It was me who started reading classic creations in English literature first but I am still to finish the two books I started with and she has completed one and almost done with the second one. This is very crude proof but those who seek strong reasons to believe this can contact our parents and be assured to get all your doubts cleared thoroughly.

Even after all this extolling she would not at all change her views for me, not even a bit. She is rock solid in her perceptions about people and has well established strategies to tackle them. If you are one of those who are close around her, you would appreciate this statement from the bottom of your heart.

Above all these facts one subtle observation I have made about her is that she is very much true to the heart and loves and cares for everyone around her including me. She looks an oddity when she tries to console me, cheer me up in gloomy moods, which she rarely does, as opposed to her routine manner, yet she tries it hard with very much honest and benign intention.

She is a little angel and…..a devil too!

Recent discovery has revealed some new dimensions of being RUJUTA like rectitude, simplicity and complexity together which makes the matter more complex to fathom! (Courtesy: Yogesh Jog)

ah ! courtesy : me ? :) thanx for the credit.
but whatever written in this original post bout 'Rouge' , i really haven't even experienced 90% of that

may be cuz i dunno her much personally(i mean face2face interactions)
i kno her more through virtual means of interaction like sms n net (now u can und'stand y this sounds more like testi on orkut than comment on a blog)

n also may be cuz its a sister's view bout her li'l sis(younger sis, i shd say but 'li'l' is really ok with rujuta)now here i shd say fits with rujuta.

but ..... but if i start writing blog bout rujuta m sure it 'll be longer than her sis's...
//a truely complex creature//
to her parents,if i get chance i'll tell exactly opposite to her sis's view
"ur daughter has changed the meaning(प्रचलित अर्थ)for a Marathi word(or originally sanskrit i dunno)"

but for a equally 'complicator' like me,
(thats new word for ppl who complicate simple things first n then make them simpler)
i find no other person so interesting for that matter.
u might like her for her simplicity
but i like her for her complexity

I like your post and it indeed is very sweet to dedicate it to ur sister.

But I must point out one thing. I have seen this mistake being made many times in my life as my name is RUJUTA too!! The true meaning of RUJUTA is not delicate beauty, it is infact straightforward, polite and honest! Ruju is a sanskrit adjective used for Arjun in mahabharat, and describes the quality of Arjun. Rujuta is a derivative of the same word.
