Years back, while staying in Aligarh (Uttar Pradesh) and studying in the only convent school at that time, there were many memories. I was told to represent the school in an essay competition on ‘Australia’, within fifteen minutes. Our English teacher, in his impeccable English seeing my hesitation, smiled and said.. “ Just write what you appreciate most in Australia.” Living on a healthy diet of Mills & Boons and Barbara Cartland books, cricket and wildlife, obviously showed in my writing. I came back having written an essay on “ Exciting Bush Romances of Australia along with Cricket and Kangaroos !!
Fourteen years ago, we shifted to an independent house from my in-laws home in Dharamsala. Celebrating the newly found fun, frolic and freedom, we noticed vital changes in the habits of our children. From Jesus Christ, Jurassic Park, Sachin Tendulkar and home cooked chicken..our son’s passions were developing every day. Our tiny daughter, had finally sacrificed her milk bottle, to the Lion Cubs in ‘Born Free’ and was making her own orchestra with the kitchen utensils ! There were cooing pigeons, flourishing business, ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ and ‘Pujas’, all happening together. Apart from being, a surrogate mother to his sister, the great thing was, our children were doing a lot of things together. Out-door picnics, taking care of the home pets and parrot, reading and planting a garden of potatoes and flowers. When asked once about this change,..our son smiled and said, “ All things need a congenial environment to grow !”
Whenever, we have travelled or faced a difficult situation, we focus, only on the best and ignore, the rest. In all our relationships, we have tried to bring..the melody of warmth and care in them, because it is true, without appreciation and harmony..there is no growth!
.. This week-end, talk to each other..and paint your own childhood canvas, in your daily life. This is essential so that when it is time for our young to find their place in the Sun, they will look in their hearts for inspiration, where their dreams have been sown by us. !
