The special relationship with my arch-nemesisA Story by TarushiAn important relationship and its learnings.
The world has often lauded legendary lovers like Adam and Eve, Antony and Cleopatra , Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal for their love which has taught many lessons about relationships and human understanding.I believe the relationship of arch-nemeses is equally worthy of appreciation.I acquired this belief due to my relationship with my arch-nemesis, Nimisha. I and Nimisha have always shared an eccentric relationship known to all our friends and family.She has been my classmate , colony mate and school teammate since I became a high-school student. However, her long association with me has done nothing to obviate our differences. The first time I interacted with her was when I asked her for the notes of our english class as I was absent for the classes.Her curt reply stating “sorry, I don’t believe in sharing my notes with anyone” made me instantly dislike her.Her dark brown eyes always inquiringly searched for me when she entered the class and subsequently imparted an arrogant and disgruntled look.I never understood her stiff attitude towards me and continued to reciprocate her behaviour. Both of us hardly spoke to each other as we preferred maintaining a non-verbal relationship.Our grades lashed at each other , a teacher’s appreciation for one pinched the other’s mind and we constantly contested against each other in the dramatics classes.It was highly evident that we were not particular favorites of each other. But I am forced to believe that we share an intense relationship.Without speaking to each other , we know what goes in the other’s mind and both of us know each other’s dislikes as that helped incinerating each other’s mood. I also believe my competition against her and the urge to supercede has helped me develop myself into a mature, dynamic and competitive person.I have imbibed the habit of giving in my best , working efficaciously, becoming highly observant and never backing down.Though I may not like her much, I consider her as a person who has had a vehement impact on me and has taught me a great deal in life.
