Inception

It was 1^st of August, some 25 years back when my mom panged in childbirth to bring me to this beautiful world. My dad jumped out of joy to hear he had his first baby girl however my granny felt dejected to have a girl child at home. Thanks to the old school of thoughts and people like my granny believing in it religiously. Nevertheless, I am gratified as mum and dad enjoyed every bit and embraced me.

I brought a new life, new beginning and a lot of delight to my parents life. (I wasn’t told about all this, I believe it though..:P) I was born healthy and till date I maintain that..hehehe. I was quiet, until I verbalized the first time and till now my mom requests me to just shut up but I never give up. :P

My childhood has been a beautiful journey as I had all the luxuries and privileges of being the first child. I was pampered, caressed, adored and most importantly given attention at all times. In spite of all this, I feel proud that my parents raised me in a fashion that I never was a spoiled brat. I still have a lot of memories of those immemorial times of my life which are captured in forms of pictures.

My parents never faced any hardship because of me apart from searching me in the house, at times, as I used to walk out alone and go to neighbours to munch stuff (what a foodie man, I was).

I still remember my dad narrating this story a zillion times now when a stranger walked up to him and asked, “aap chinky ke papa ho kya?”(are you Chinky’s father). That very moment, dad thought to himself that his daughter will make him proud and famous and he would be known as my father and not me as his daughter. I am still working on it though but I feel all this happens only in movies, in reality, it seldom happens. Oh! I forgot to mention, that stranger knew him because one day I walked into his house and started playing. After hours the man and the wife pitied me and served me tea and biscuit. I was some 2-3 years old and just knew my name and I think dad’s name as well, which gave that man a sigh of relief. I am sure all this while he must have thought what if my parents file a complaint of abduction and the cops found me there, munching and enjoying…lol.

My dad’s hope all went in vain the moment that man handed over me to him and narrated the entire incidence. Tell me which father would like to be known for such a behaviour by daughter? None, I am sure. I mean, eating at neighbours..not happenin, when I get more than required at home already!!

Ah, my journey has just started but I am kinda sleepy and tired as it’s 3:43 in the morning. I’ll bid goodbye for now and will soon come with more embarrassing tales my parents faced because of me over the years, not literally though. Please stop running your imagination, I was a very good child, I am just trying to entertain you.

Good night, Chao!
