Story of a DREAMER....

Episode 1
Dreamer…. she is a real dreamer. Started her journey from a small town… mmm we should call it a village rather.

May be I can start with the introduction like this; there is small place called Panchet.. A beautiful, modern girl, Ishani got married to a tall-dark-handsome guy, Arindam 35 years back. Yes pretty long time. Arindam is the eldest of the family, the most responsible and monument of sacrifices. The girl was asked by the boy’s family about her hobbies, on which Ishani’s father proudly said “amar meye ghurte valobase” (My daughter loves to travel). But meanwhile her father leaves the world so the marriage got delayed and finally, 30th June, 1980 they got married. Although Ishani loved to travel but the moment she reached a station named “Kumardhubi” where even there were no platform made till then she got disappointed. Being a modern girl of Kolkata city this seemed to her like a nothing but a village.

But still the journey starts. The communication was not easy those days, people were still postal service dependent, so the only source of her smile other than her husband’s love was the letters, the postcards sent from her parent’s house, be it her brothers or sister. She is now a part of new family, but was she really welcomed? No…. a big no. Why and what was the cause that could never be clarified although. Its the same old story of Indian families, parents house and in-laws house. Girls hardly understands where they belong actually!

Ishani was a part of a big family before marriage and here it was literally the same story but she was missing happiness, love and pamper she got at her parents house. Soon the situation went so bad that she had to go to her paternal house and on this Arindam decided to stay separate and maintain healthy relation with his family. So he went and got his wife back to a new house (though quarter by company).

Through thick and thin life moved on. They both enjoying a sweet bond, a happy married life. In a few years they discovered they are going to be parents. There were no limit to their happiness. Ishani wanted to share the news with her family in Kolkata, However the guy also wanted to share the new with his family, since they were a closer option so they went to greet them and shared the news.

Surprisingly she was not really appreciated in fact did not even receive a congratulation from her in-laws family. She never knew that they could be so difficult. She was upset at this behavior and wanted to go to Kolkata during her pregnancy and for childbirth. But unfortunately she had to cancel the plan and stayed at her in-law’s house.

She was anyways treated as an unwanted part of family now she was not alone. She was carrying one more life within. Time passed by, she had to be emotionally strong and finally during new year time she gave birth to a girl child.

Needless to say…. we are still in India so even after the happiness of newborn, there were still expectation for a baby boy. But the father was very happy to see his little princess, in fact in no time he was promoted. It was a double happiness time for him.

May be this is all he wanted all his life. Just love nothing else. Even though he was eldest he always had to fight his life alone. So for him his wife and newborn brought ocean of happiness.

to be cond.
