As a child I was quite choosy about every small bit that was being offered or going around me…be it the company I share, the environment or even the way my mom tied up my hair. I guess that’s one of the reasons I indulged into doing things on my own like plating my hair, wearing my dress, shoes, packing my bag, and setting all things in place. Obviously there were imperfections attached to it but then it gave me a sense of being in control. My parents did their very best in stepping me up at various activities like dancing, skating, cycling, driving, swimming, mehendi, rangoli etc. which I thoroughly enjoyed and it became more of routine. Sundays was the time with dad and we used to ask him to take us out for ice cream or a long drive..they were amazing. Birthdays was another event which made me feel very special. Parties were arranged by my parents for my tiny miny friends with lots of games, cakes and chocolates and halla-gulla, all kids running around the house and laughing and playing pranks. I remember the first frilled polka dots frock that my parents gifted me on my fifth birthday. In the dress store, my dad shortlisted two frocks out of them, I really liked the one which had a satin lace and frills to it and was slightly expensive and the other was comparatively less charming but affordable. I heard some conversation between my parents about the price and that was the time I realized how hard my dad works for all of us and so I immediately chose the frilled frock and was extremely happy so much so that I wore that frock for almost five years till it tore! My parents gave me a sense of belonging and nurtured me with utmost love and care. I owe my parents lots of happiness and peace! Love ya :)
