Most of you might have come across twins in your life. Some you may be having twins in your family. Watching twins is interesting but being a one is wholly a different experience altogether. I am being the one I would like to share with you few interesting events.
My self and my brother are twins and were studying in the same class. Very often our teachers and fellow students get confused while identifying us. Once a teacher had given a strange advice to us that we both should always sit together in the class to identify us easily.
At the time of college admission my brother was called first for the interview as his name came first in the alphabetical order. After his admission, when I entered in the admission room, all the members who were sitting in the room were taken aback after seeing me. One member even started scolding me by saying that just now you got admission, why you are coming again and waste our time? Though I told them that I am a different person they could not believe. I was forced to call my brother back to the admission room and proved them that indeed I am a different person.
After our college education, we both got our employment in different sectors but unfortunately in the same city. While traveling alone in the bus to my office, I always get wishes from few unknown persons daily. Initially I surprised about their behaviour. After few days I presumed that those who wished me probably friends or colleagues of my brother.
Once one of my close friends got angry with me for not getting any response from me when he wished me at a temple few days back. I told him that I never visited that temple on the day he mentioned. But he was in no mood to relent even after hearing what I was saying. Then I had to explain to him that we are twins and he perhaps might have met my brother. He was so embarrassed and said sorry to me.
Once I went along with my wife to a general store. The shop owner after seeing me wore a mischievous smile in his face and asked me, are you making merry? I was shocked to hear such an unexpected comment from the shop owner. With irritation and anger I asked him what do you mean? He bluntly told me that yesterday you came to this shop with another lady. One minute I did not know how to explain to him that the one he claimed to have seen may be my brother and his wife. After this incident I took a vow not to reside in the same area where my twin brother is living to avoid embarrassment, which is happening to us as well as to others.
