My Family, My World, Our Way | Disha Batra, IIFT
With an ever increasing number of people preferring nuclear families, I consider myself to be blessed to have been raised in a joint family setup. Being the youngest child in the entire family, I have been lucky to have been the object of my grandparents’ love and had the guidance of my uncles and aunts in addition to that of my parents’. I have been endlessly pampered by three elder sisters and two elder brothers. I hate calling them cousins as there has never been such a demarcation. Growing up, one of my favorite things to do was going for shopping with my sisters. As a little girl, I used to watch them being all excited about trips to apparel stores, Forever 21, and Pantaloons being their favorite, and trying on countless dresses. We used to come out of the stores with hands full of shopping bags every single time. My eldest sister is fourteen years elder to me and is my best friend. She invariably got me additional cute accessories on every visit.
