It was a month that started with
the hustle bustle of load many guests in the house. So many elders, so many
kids and too many people in the house to spend their vacations at the same
time! Scary as it may sound, but it was total fun. When my day started and when
it ended, I have no idea. Playing Ludo till 4 in the morning, having golgappa party, jhalmuri party, classes, dance practice for the wedding, market,
shopping, packing for the wedding..it was crazy. And fun.
These are the times,
I believe, when family bonds with everyone. a little effort and a little help
from everyone does wonders. Sitting around with everyone, chilling out,
relaxing with every one, sharing their experiences, recipes, naughty gossips-
it all becomes a part of family reunion. And I loved every bit of it :)
Later, there was a wedding in
Calcutta, about which you can read here. I made a new friend there, for
lifetime. Coming back trying to settle down was my priority, but again had to
go my hometown due to an emergency. All is well now. I spent a lot of time with
my parents and my brother and shared a lot. This time, I did not meet any of my
friends in the city.. maybe I wanted the entire time for my family, maybe I didn't care enough to call and ask if anyone was in town. I may sound a bit odd, but
it was a time that totally belonged to my family. I completed all the stuff
that was there on my to-do list and met a few relatives. Something very tricky happened
or rather, it didn't happen, but I observed something and I found it totally
tricky. Will describe in some other post.
I was happy to be home (though my worked
suffered a lot, but everything seems to be on track now). A, came to visit my
parents. And his friends came the other day. We celebrated the anniversary of a
dear friend. It was a blast altogether. Friends. Good times. Fun. It was
perfect. I came back with new hopes and aspirations for my dreams. I discovered
new bloggers and read some amazing stuff on-line.
I feel so blessed about getting
into writing. It gives me immense peace and contentment.. with myself and
everybody around.
How did June treat you? What did
you do all month?

ReplyDeletebtw what is 'jhalmuri?'
Yes they are :)
DeleteJhalmuri is a form of bhelpuri originated in Calcutta but it's prepared without mint and tamarind chutney.. I hope that clears.. :)
Cheers
