Unfulfilled Wishes

I am not an ambitious person, from my childhood I always wished to lead a calm and peaceful life. Of course I had some wishes which could not be made fulfilled. Some wishes are stupid, some are impractical, and some are simply non sense.
I loved to paint, and at some point I wished to learn painting, but my dad wanted me to learn dancing and I learnt that, I also wanted to learn swimming and ballet, the second one is quite unusual for a middle class Bengali Family. So I left bothering about these things.
I love dogs, irrespective of breed and pedigree. We had a pet one when I was a child, it died when I was three. Then we bought another, it was a Spitz, I loved it so much, but could not take care of it, and it was my uncle and mother who used to look after it. At a point of time they thought it was not being looked after well and they thought of selling to someone, and they did so. I was never able to keep a pet one again in my life. Now, it is clear what my next wish is. Yes, I love to keep a pet dog in my own house, and take care of it all myself.

I had been a bit rebellious throughout my life. That is, I am not a homely kind of person.
So some of my wishes are crazy, like sometimes I wished to be a sea- diver, I love the color blue, and the depth of the sea, it attracts me like nothing. It’s a very common wish I think , as when we watch T.V. channels like Animal Planet or Discovery , we all fantasize about being there, doing that.

I also wished to own a house, of my own, and that would be in a jungle, and it must be a wooden one, with only two floors and a large balcony, I can imagine myself to be there , sitting in the balcony, coffee cup in my hand, enjoying the serenity and listening the tweets

My first Holi after marriage

This holi was the first holi I spent with my in laws. I usually love to play holi, but I heard from my mom in law that they here do not play holi. I was a bit upset, but the evening before holi my hubby bought some colours for us.
The next day was Sunday, a programme was being held on Central Park, its called Basantautsav. It started at the early morning ar 6 am. we watched the programme for some one hour and came back to have breakfast. Then we went to other flats to play holi with them, it was real fun, the neighbors also put color on us. For me it was almost introduction to most of them as I could not remember all of them though met them in my reception. It was late in midday when we started for mamu’s house. There we also played holi with mamu and even dida. They were not irritated, as I thought they might be, even dida was rather sporting. We returned home when it was 2 pm. After taking bath we were feeling very sleepy. In the evening we went to south city. It was a very different holi for me.
