THE JOURNEY. . . . .


Permission!! Whenever I have to do something… be it a decision about my career or going downstairs to my cousin’s place… I have to take permission from my dearest dad…
My dad has not been that strict but it’s not that easy to survive… I don’t say I have some problem with him or anything… I just love my dad to the core!! I don’t say taking permission for things you do is wrong… In fact it’s good… it’s good that our parents from the beginning have had control on us. He never ever expresses his love… My dad being very much conservative about us, I and my brother, gave us all kind of luxuries… if we asked for Rs.5, he gave us Rs.10. He never stopped us from doing anything, but didn’t give us proper exposure as kids… we didn’t see much of the beautiful world outside…!!!
I did my schooling from the same school as him which was just 5 minutes of walking distance down the lane from my home. My life was just limited to 5 minutes distance to my school, my friends place… and so it was all about a 5 minute walk…… I completed my SSC, the most important step of anyone’s life… and so was mine… but as usual even after studying hard I didn’t score that well that could make my dearest mom happy… Going against my mom’s wish I enrolled my name for commerce…
After my schooling, I somehow took permission and managed to convince my darling daddy for continuing my college in Pune- be it a girls’ college… I managed to say I didn’t want it to be the same 5 minute walk any more now… And so did my HSC, the 2nd milestone of anybody’s life as mine from St. Mira’s College for girls, Koregaon Park in Pune… I made a few more friends… wished to enjoy with them… but could do within the college premises only as I didn’t get PERMISSION to go out for movies and stuff… It wasn’t that I never got any permission; I did but very rarely and had to plan a month in advance… Now, it was like a 20 minute journey by a local and about a 7 minute journey with the 3-tier vehicle with 3 of us in it… Now it was all about a 27 min journey!!! I passed my HSC with pretty decent marks and this time it made my mom a bit satisfied!!
After this I managed to decide for my graduation course… in the media field, which has so much of exposure to the outside world… I again managed to convince my daddy dearest, for continuing my further studies in this field and got admission, this time in a co-ed college… I was too scared about being with altogether different people but then I thought after all this is all I wanted…
A new journey began………….
NOW… it’s like having a lot of friends, a few true ones and now my life is not just a 25 min ride on my dio..!
It was now enjoying with friends, spending hours with all friends or sometimes also with only one person on a staircase, talking rubbish, learning new things, new experiences, having lots of fun, night outs- rare ones!!, laughing, teasing, genuine talks, organizing film festivals, college festivals, experiencing new things, observing behavior of people around which makes us learn lot of lessons, experiencing the shock.. by seeing how selfish people can be, being out of home for long hours and spending more and more time with friends……
At the same time the season at home begins to change………………………………………
It all started because of that arrogant person in my life… there began clashes with the mindsets as there were different minds present there, as everyone had one of their own…
Things began to get worse… but till when could they long… As every coin has two sides this too had two sides, things couldn’t have been worse for long… it began to get normal but still there was an incompleteness in it as it was and is still not sorted i.e. communicated well...
And THE JOURNEY STILL CONTINUES…. TO BE A BIT SOUR AND SWEET, BITTER AND ROTTEN!!! Let it SWINGG and I'll Continue
BREATHING. . . .
