Renewing faith in hope

I passed out of my school with good grades.After completion of my school I decided to opt for a secretarial course.As soon as I finished the course I got my first break in a good MNC.Things were going great.I enjoyed my life to the fullest.I was a favourite among my family so I was always pampered.My office had its main branch in Mumbai and many officials from there used to visit our Delhi branch.One of the sales executive "Henry"whom I often talked to for official work came to our office.He was supposed to stay in Delhi for around 6 months for a particular project.He was tall, dark and handsome.He always attracted attention of all the office girls because of his looks, but he never mingled with anyone.He was good looking as well as well educated.We interacted many times officially.Our casual hello's turned into outings.We started going out for coffee break's and then for lunch and dinners.Within 6 months we were madly in love with each other.He was very serious and so he proposed to me for marriage.I was very happy as I had at last found my true love who was serious for marriage but soon I came back to the reality.I was a Hindu and he was a Christian.We belonged to different religions and cultures.We both shared our love story with our families and asked for their permission.My parents were completely shocked and refused this alliance straight away.After a lot of discussion and melodramas my family asked me to make a choice between them or my Love.Same thing happened with him too.Henry and me decided to get married with the hope that soon our family would understand.With a heavy heart I left my home and we got married at court with close friends around.Things went smoothly and within a year I gave birth to a beautiful little daughter and we named her "Angel".A year passed and my daughter was healthy,everything was fine except she didnt utter a single word till now like other kids.We took her to different doctors,hospitals and speech therapists but Angel could not utter a single word.We were very sad and felt our families curse has caused us this unhappiness.We went to different temples and churches.We felt hopeless and devastated.One day I broke down and cried in front of the idol of Mother Mary.An elderly lady who came to visit the church came to me.She caught hold of my hands and asked me have complete faith in Mother Mary. She said that with hope every thing is possible.She gave me a new hope I restarted my efforts with my new found hope and spirit.Within a month my daughter spoke her first word "Ma". I could not beleive my ears and asked her to repeat the word again and again.I called Henry and shared the good news.We felt like blessed parents.The hope given by a stranger gave me a new strength and filled our life with happiness and joy.

Relocating to a new life

I was born in a joint family.My father had a transferable job so we shifted from Delhi to Bangalore away from our big family.I was very small when we moved to Bangalore.I had more experience of a nuclear family now than a joint family.After finishing my MA I got married in a joint family.My in-laws family consisted of 6 brothers and all of them were involved in the family business.They mainly dealt with the cloth business.My husband was the youngest son.It was not very easy for me to live in a big family.I was the most educated amongst the daughter-in-laws and this was not welcomed by the other bahu's (daughter in laws) in the family.I was under constant pressure to prove myself.My cooking skill was questioned and criticized.My only hope was my husband who supported me always.On the other hand my husband faced the same treatment from his brothers.He was good in his business skills but his brothers treated him as a slave and imposed their decisions on him.My husband wanted to have his own business which was not acceptable by others.They told him clearly that if he wishes to have his way in the business, he has to leave the family business and the family home.Ours was a new marriage.We didn't had much of money reserves with us.There was no end to the taunts and I was soon loosing my patience and on the other hand my husband was helpless.Our bond of friendship was new which has just started.We didn't know when and how to share our thoughts with each other.One day as usual at the dinner table my food was criticized and I lost my calm and rushed to my bedroom with tearful eyes, without eating my dinner.My husband followed me to the room and consoled me and told me that he liked  my cooking and there was nothing wrong with it.He held my hands and for the first time we were really together with each other and felt we are one and there was a special bond between us.We trusted each other and shared our dreams with each other.He shared with me the way he wants to start his own business and I told him my dream of teaching children.But as it was not allowed in a joint family. It was hopeless.Our eyes locked and twinkled.We decided to move out to a new house.It was not an easy decision but our support for each each other was strong.Others criticized us for this decision.My husband was made to sign that he is moving out of the family business and home with his free will and he is no longer eligible for any share.We were determined #StartANewLife. Our family and friends doubted our decision.At last we rented a small house.My husband started his own garment business with the reserve money and I started home tuitions.We worked hard day and night.Today my husband has his own garment factory and I have a tuition center.We together achieved our goals just because I took the bold step of moving to a new house and creating a new identity for myself.

Getting to my goal with the power of together

 

I was born a healthy baby. Everyone  loved my chubby cheeks. I was a complete foodie. Besan ke laddoo and Gulab Jamuns were my weakness. Being a pampered daughter of the family I was supplied with ample sweets. When I was in school I was teased as "fatty" which didn’t bother me much. I had just one love "Good Food" which I could not resist. When some one wanted a favor they bribed me with sweets that are my favourite besan ke laddo or gulab jamuns and I happily completed their work without any delay. I played hard and ate hard. I remained plump. Days passed by, time flew but my love for food didn’t fade with time. I could still eat 10-15 besan ke laddoo in one go. My aunt affectionately teased me and said that if I didn’t stop eating sweets I would not find my prince charming. I didn’t care and told her I don’t want to get married as my only love is my food. I opted for home science and cooking as a subject in my 12th class. The session has just begun. There were new admissions, new students in our class. I was busy chatting with my old classmates when our teacher asked the new students to introduce themselves. All the new admission students came out in the front to give their introductions. Out of these 10-12 students my eyes fixed on this boy whose name was Ajay. He was smart, down to earth and sophisticated. I fell in love with him. He was studious as well as very talented. He sang very well. He became an instant hero of our class. But my love was one sided as he never gave me a second look. Now when my classmates called me  "fatty" I felt bad. I was fat that’s why Ajay never took me seriously or talked to me while he chatted with other girls in the class. I literally stopped eating and increased my workouts but all this was of no use. I often thought the weighing machine to be defective and giving a wrong reading. I remained unhappy and depressed and in depression I felt like eating more. I was very unhappy. After blaming myself I started blaming everyone around and my family. My aunt who lived nearby and was very dear to me took me to a park and when alone she asked me the reason of my unhappiness. I told her about my feelings and helplessness. She hugged me tightly. She told me one should not lose hope and if we are determined we can get whatever we want. She promised me that together we can workout a plan to make me slim and attractive. She made my diet plan and exercise routine. She took me for morning and evening walks. She kept records of my jogging routine. Soon with a balanced diet and exercise routine things started working in my favor. She explained that if I am patient slowly and steadily I would soon become slim and attractive. My aunt gave me a new hope. Within 2-3 months I lost weight and my body got into shape. I caught the attention of the opposite sex. Ajay also found me attractive and I was overjoyed when he started initiating conversation with me. I loved my aunt and being with her #together not only instilled a new hope in me but also gave me great happiness by achieving my target.

उनकी तमन्ना

उनकी तमन्ना दिल में
एक सैलाब सा लाती है
बह जाते है हम
साथ उसके फिर
लौट कर नहीं आते हैं
