My wish came true..

          I just had finished it!!. In one sitting, I have read “The Secret Wishlist” , by Preeti Shenoy, one of my favourite author. I should say, she is again surprised me with her excellent story telling. I want to congratulate her with all my heart. This book made me think about my own ‘secret Wishlist’ too..:)

          This post came as a result of Preeti Shenoy’s new creative prompt. ‘Wishlist Wednesdays’. It's a kind of contest as every week her publisher Westland will pick one entry and will send the winner copy of ‘The Secret Wishlist’.

          This week’s prompt: "My onewish that came true and gave me immense joy!"

          ...................................................................................................................

          Some months before, I was so depressed on something. Something was disturbing me terribly. I was feeling so sad.. and I have made a wish and prayers to God, that make everything fine. Just give me my brother back. There was a unseen wall forming between us. And when I started realizing ,that hurt me like hell. I had made a post- a letter to my brother on ‘Rakhiday’.

          And I am happy to say, my wish come true..!!

          .................................................................................................................

          After Rakhi day, I have been trying to get back the attachment, which was there in between us. And the ice wall started to melt.

          Then came his Birthday. On the day before that, I got to know that my two sisters had made some gifts prepared for him. They have bought something in advance, and I couldn’t.:( due to some reasons. I become upset.

          It was during our routine chat, I shared my feelings with my Love. I said, I couldn’t buy any gift for my brother. Then what he said really made me feel good. He said. “ Hey don’t worry, do one thing, when he cut the cake, and everyone give him their gifts, you just hug him and kiss him .wish him a very very happy birthday. I am sure, that will make him more happy”.You know what, I was relived really. I felt happy for having him as my soulmate.

Then the day came. He cut the cake, we made wishes, he filled everyone’s mouth with the Birth day cake. Sisters gave him gifts. I stood still. My heart was wishing to do what my love said. But, simply I couldn’t even though I have done it several times in my mind. I don’t know why, maybe it’s the presence of others or the thought about his response hold me back.

          That day I said my love that, I couldn’t do it. I really want to hug my brother, I wanted to kiss him. But, I couldn’t.

          Next day, after my work I went to the town with my friend. I want to buy something for him. Then, I have purchased some clothings : 2 teashirts, three-fourths, and a shirt. I was hoping , he will like my choices. In child hood days he always did.

          When I came home, it was getting darker, and my sisters were resting in their rooms. My parents were not reached then. There was no power supply also. So it was complete silence there. My brother was out of home.    

          I was thinking about giving the gifts to him, and about what his response will be. Then the door bell rang. It was him. I opened the door, and rushed to my room and called him from there, ‘ Da, can u just come here...?’

Without any hesitation, he came, and asked ‘what’s the matter?’. I just gave him the packets. I watched him checking all those. I can see he is happy. He said ‘Thanks’. And said ‘ no need to thank me’.

        Bro: Hmm....why?

          Me: you don’t have to, my dear..

          Bro: Hmm...okay..

          Me: you like it?

          Bro : Yeah..

          Me : Then..give me a kiss..

          Bro: ........??

Me pointed my cheek. Without any hesitation, he came near and planted a Kiss on my cheek. J J. Then I kissed him back too. I felt something got stuck in my throat. I felt my eyes going to be wet. And We both realized how much we missed each other...

         I was so happy when I detailed everything to my love. He was so happy too...

          ...............................................................................................................

          Now, I am happy. I know it is not the gift.. it was just a reason to make everything fine. Thanking God for everything. I pray to God that, please don’t make us fight ever. We can’t take this anymore.

My Secret wish list

            Another creative prompt from my favourite author Preeti Shenoy! – “Wishlist Wednesdays”. Her latest book “ The Secret Wish list” is about to release today. I have already preordered one copy (Author signed copy! Vow!! J).  And, she want each of us to tell our secret wish list also. All know, the list may be indefinite, but she is asking us any 3 of our wishes. And I have started prioritorising my loooooooonnng list.

            I am so attached with my family (everyone does na..?)- my parents, my younger sisters and the youngest one, my brother. I was always happy with my family, it was my world.. But, now, the things are changed a little. Everyone have  grown up, and don’t know why, but I feel some thing is lacking. Is it because I am not a child anymore? I know, I can’t go back to my childhood again. But, I really wish everything will be the same as before. My marriage is nearby, and you know how it feels to part with your family.

         

There is one other person also whom I love the most, admire the most, and make quarrels the most. He was not a part of my family, but now for some years, he too.. a very important person in my life. The person whom I am going to marry. I hope, next year, at this time, we both will be together. I wish, I can give a good life to that wonderful person. Want to love him as much as I can, give him a lot of happiness, and be with him till my last breath.

   Thinking it as a little filmy? But, you know, romance is always like that...

          

  In my school days and college days, I was said to be a studious girl. I never spent too much time for study, but always got some good marks. Thank God!. I was the topper in my study days.. at that time, I was so ambitious about my career. But, I feel, I have nothing done purposefully, to reach where I am now. Its only God’s grace. He had made me gone through the right path always, and I didn’t had to make a decision every time. Bu sometimes, there was difficulties, which made me stronger. The final result was always the best. I wish,I can study more. Now, I want to pursue Ph.D. May be it seems like a greed rather than a wish, I wish very desperately for it. Don’t know, what is left for me. Not sure, if I can do that, when the life’s responsibilities increase. But, anyway I want to dream.... I trust my Lord. He will do the best for me...

            I want to thank Preeti Shenoy for such a chance to tell my wishes. Congratulations and best wishes for her 4^th book and the long list of all the books, that will come in future...

Preeti  Deedi…..(meet her here)

   Deedi, first of all I want to tell you, “You are really a wonderful person….”

 Its only a few weeks, I came to know about you. One day, I was browsing through flipkart, and just caught by the front cover of your book, “ life is what you make it”. The title itself was so interesting, that I read the excerpts , and tried to know more about you,and found out your website and blog,..all these just forgetting about for what I have been searching there up to then. From that moment I started reading your blog regularly. I am trying to finish reading your older posts, staying up late at night.

   The flipkart has no shipping (cash on delivery,) in my home  town . So, I have to go to a bookstall and ordered your book, “Life is what you make it”…It took one week to get your book…the waiting was really not easy for me. And you know what?..i was so thrilled  when I got it in my hand, and started reading it with out any delay…And, I need to tell you, I just finished it in one sitting…Yes, it is so..so..good Deedi, and thank you so much for giving such a nice treat to readers like me.

  I have also ordered “ 34 bubblegums and Candies “…and told my sister to bring it for me, as the bookstall is near her college. I am reaching home a little late that (7.00 pm), I cant drop myself there and get it by myself. Today, I was expecting to get that, and I was thinking about you and your book the whole day during my work, and during my long travel…( I am a day scholar , I have to travel 2 hrs for every morning and evening. Now I am doing my academic project, which is for a duration of 1 yr, in a Research and Development cetntre)…..But, unfortunately, my sister forgot to buy that, and I felt bad..i have even scolded her for being so irresponsible , for forgetting to bring that…. How can she know that getting this book is so important for me…and how much eagerly, I was waiting for it to come… So, I made her promise me that, she will surely get it tomorrow..

    And I am waiting…..

  Deedi, you are so energetic, charming, inspiring…what more I can say…? You are just the best in everything you do….Congrats deedi, and May God bless you to be more and more great…..

    Now, I am not telling about my family, and the the other things I want to share with you…This is my first mail to you, that’s why… I am not that much familiar to you, though  I feel You are someone very dearest to me..Deedi, you , Shenoy Bhayya, Atul and purvi…all are just like my own family…love you deedi..

And so, I will surely write you about so many things…I know, you are so busy, but my heart wants to get you write back…It will be great pleasure for me if you reply me..

…

     All these for now deedi…Let me say good bye for now…

With love and warm regards…
