My Doll !!

I was waiting in parking as one of my senior was still not finished with dressing in hospital ..

Saw the calendar oh..28^th of August.very soon its gonna be birthday of my little sis .

How to make her feel special. Many ideas developed, took shape, destroyed and reshaped in my mind.

I was just thinking about her all the time. Honestly speaking she is the most valuable gift of my life not becoz the reason she is my sis but for the reason that she is my best friend also even being younger than me.

Whenever I go back to my childhood I find her the part of my memories that we created together.

She is the one with whom I passed my childhood in most cherished manner.

I quite remember my mamma used to search both of us in those summers where we were found playing dolls in stairs or roof making a tent with her saari. We used to go together for buying all grocery items of home. She was tiny creature trying to help me to hold one handle of beg.

We were most compatible buddies of this world but very different .I was shy and hesitant meeting new people but she was different. She was a parrot or you can say a cuckoo of our family doing chatter patter all the time, boxing with neighbour boys, dancing & singing in front of most of the guests whenever asked.

Our neighbour used to give complement on her voice and looks..Obviously she is one of the cutest girl in our family with dark bengali  eyes. If someday she never talked ppl used to say “where is Gudda??? Is she not fine”??? J J J

She was the sardar of her gang in which most of the followers were boys. She loved jumping into abandoned places , walking on narrow walls, playing kanchas (marbles),ringing bells of neighbours with her mischievous gang.

Our most of Childhood gone in a small town near Ambala where small fairs were focus of small kids as there were only two in a year. As the family used to schedule visit in disciplined manner at evening many a times we found her with her gang there in afternoon.

Oh God!! I remember them all “CHOTE SHAITAN” .Vicky, Surender, Vipin, Sonu, Neha, Shayari..

She was having friends from our colony, nearest colony, back of the colony, schools and tuitions.

BUT JITNI JAGAH UTNI COMPLAIN BHI TO AATI THI.. J J J.At her second standard principal complained “Preeti pulled the hair of Deepa and knocked her head on desk”

Her reply “it was Deepa who started first and teased me and hold my hand tightly with 2^nd Deepa”

(Actually there were two Deepas in her class..JINSE GUDDA KI MOST OF THE TIME NHI BANTI THI)

Then she blossomed like a smiling flower gradually.. day by day..her height gone up in scale from inches to mtrs. We both separated as I wanted to study in hostel and then work in another study.

We moved from one place to another we lost old friends and found new one  but I was having my permanent friend with me.Even now when I have crossed my 24 summers/winters/autumn/springs and we are apart 5000 miles away separated by  Indian ocean I don’t have anybody like her. When we start talking..we talk… and talk… and talk..and be sure she is one of the most balanced advisor who passes her suggestion based on most realistic/practical facts. We differ as I m more on fascinating, imaginary ..sometimes unrealistic positive side.

My doll now growing up and with fighting ups and downs  that she faced in her life like nobody of her age can bear ..I know she is special child with keen observation and insight rare found in any individual  of her age. Still she is my “PLAIN PARATHAN” with no icing to  show off.

She wont do anything just to show somebody she do good things becoz she is simply good.

Sometimes I think my little baby how much changed now to whom we thought youngest member of the family is actually very responsible and sensitive. Managing relationship without ego and accepting mistakes in most non-polished manner..My God !! My Child is grown up…

As I am more on superficial side I was talking about an individual to whom I used to compare and wanted to win over ..She told me only one thing “LIFE MEIN KISI KI LINE CHOTI KARKE APNI LINE BADI KARNA SAHI APPROACH NHI HAI..APNI LINE BADI KARO DOOSRON KI LINE APNE APP CHOTI HO JAYEGI”..Simple mathematics and my life time learning and since then I never had to compare myself with anybody.

OH MY BACCHA..MY LOVE..I STILL FOLLOW AND WILL ALWAYS FOLLOW…

I think before she sleep I want her to make her understand how special she is for me..Afterall today is her birthday..Happy birthday Gudda !!
