The most colourful festival of India ....HOLI HAI

Holi has always been my favorite festival since childhood days.Holi is popular since ages and Holi of Brij nd Vrindavan is famous throughout the globe.The tradition began with Lord Krishna who used to play Holi with Gopis.
At that time Holi was played with gulal and essence of natural flowers.Same tradition is flowing through our nerves and aroma of this festival is spread in our senses.
I was also find of Holi and used to enjoy all shades of this festival in the company of my friends and siblings. The preparation started in advance with collection of money saved out if pocket money.Colourful ballons,pitchkaris and colours distracted us and every evening there was a meeting regarding purchase of items for fun on the day of Holi.
Very old dress was taken out for the day as it was supposed to get tie die.In the day buckets ,tubs were filled with water and colours were mixed to give shade to fun of holi.Next was gurella technique to wait for passer by and attack him with ballons filled with water.The gestures of passerby after attck amused us and that happiness was so precious which cannot be bought by spending dollars.
A few years later technique of Holi changed.Now passerby did not remain our target rather flock  of friends while wet and  in coloured dresses went to every friends house to grab her out and apply all colours, eggs,black polish etc.The friend who used to confine in house remained cut off from group for more couple of days.Thus Holi was not for Holi but jawani ki huddang .Bura naa nano Holi hai.
After marriage my husband never initiated to play Holi and remained away from colours and all.Time was flying.My children never got such chance to enjoy the festival due to restrictions imposed by their father. Myself too remained indifferent.
I have no words to thank Blog adda who has given ignition to my suppressed feelings of Holi.Infact it has taken me back in my childhood. And I am determined that this year Holi is going to be remarkable festival.I have sorted out list of my friends for a great get together at Holi at my place. There will be hilarious fun with gulal,colours and indeed thandai and rocking music.On this Hoki I would request my friends and readers to take a resolution that we won't waste water and play dry Holi this year Although water is a natural resource of water but there are so many people in many parts of country who are deprived of drinking water.Si we have no right to waste it.Rather we should come forward conservation if drinking water.
With this feel ,let us celebrate Holi with true spirit and enjoy every Hue & shade of Holi this year.

Best Memories of life

Memories carry us to the lanes of past where sweet fragrance of beautiful thoughts refresh our soul.These memories are the golden moments spent with our loved ones e.g.with parents, siblings,friends,spouse,or children.
Myself is not untouched by emotions and feelings.I usually get lost in the moment spent with my only sibling I.e.my only sis.
She is ten years elder to me and indeed like my mom.I am indebted to her in so many ways and find myself unable to repay.
We have not only shared same womb but have shared every sad/happy moment of childhood and youth.
My sis is Iconic figure in our city as her statur had been very high due to her high character that u will read in succeeding lines.
I belonged to a middle class family consisting of my parents and we two sis.My mother was a rheumatoid patient and my sis had to look after all household chores since her BACHPAN.When she was eighteen some people came for marriage proposal and I was vry happy.But a few days after there was shocking grave like environment in home.I was totally unaware of what happened but later I got that there was some genetic disorder due to which she could not marry. Again I got busy and never tried to get details of same.
At the age of twenty I got married and it was she who successfully made preparations of my marriage without any complaint or stress.I never tried to ask her about her wishes and feelings.Again I remained so involved in my married life that I became so selfish that I could never hear her pain inside.Meanwhile my mother expired which shattered my sis further as she has lost her only friend and soul mate.She used to tell me that it was very difficult for her to lead her life with an old aged man.To me it was  normal .One more blow axed her that my dad was diagnosed of Parkinson.She nursed him better than Sharvan son.I am amazed as if she was destined to serve her parents. Everyone of our town had no words in her appreciation.
She became alone when my dad breathed last.Since then she is residing with our family.Here too she is leaving no stone unturned for the sake of our comforts.Indeed she is our strength and backbone.Almighty has designed her not for her own interests but for serving others.
May God be kind enough to give her healthy life ahead.

A promise from husband on Woman day

The seven vows or seven promises are sworn in by the bride and groom on the day of Marriage as most important ritual of indian marriage and both promise to fullfill them wholeheartedly throughout their wedded life.But women take everyday a new promise from her partner e.g.to come home early,to go for movie ,to dine at good restaurant or it may be long drive .Undoubtedly women keep their promise without leaving any chance of complaint.
On this women day women will definitely expect much from husbands.I too have some thoughts storming in my mind.I am planning in a different way as my wedded life is matured.I dont want to take promise of commitment,loyalty ,weekly shopping or long drive.My both children are grown up and there is usually ego clash between our children and my husband.He is critical and less appreciative.Indeed he needs to be updated and adoptive.He is critical for their every act and never agrees with their innovative ideas.On this woman day I would like to have a promise from my loving husband that he would understand the feelings and emotions of his sons and would deal them patiently .Thus fragrance of sweet emotions will flow in house.
The next promise from him is that he needs to be communicative and assertive.Sometimes instead of expressing himself he endures pain within himself and continues to fight alone.This aggregates to my mental stress.So I wish that now onwards he will open his heart and let me join to explore his heart in innovative manner,This will definitely help to resolve the issue .
There is a long list of promises I wish to have from my husband and next is that he would spare some time for his family when he is at home and will keep his mobile off.I am jealous of his mobile addiction and often call it his second wife.
The last but not the least is that he must learn time management as he usually mingles his list of jobs and often gets late on every occasion.
 Actually I want promises  in every habit of my hubby which I dont like and wish him to lead according to me.Although he is very caring,affectionate and sensible human being .definitely an ideal partner.But through this post I got chance to make him a PERFECT HUBBY. :-)
