Three little daughters

After 3 months long tour,today he is going to home.Home sweet home.

Who could ever thought an orphan like him can ever build up a family? All those days. Living in someone else’s home. Sharing all those with strangers and making them families. All those moments of struggle and sorrows. Life was  harsh on him. In fact too harsh. When he got his sense he was alone. Like someone dropped him on the surface and lost forever. His  parents. He lost all ,before knowing what he had. Life was cruel to him. Its not easy for an orphan to survive. But he survived. Got proper education. Though lots of people can’t…….but he did that. Got a good job. Married to a woman of an wealthy family. Now he has his own family. His family. He bought lots of gifts for them .Dresses, toys, chocolates, color boxes, hair clips and bands even pendants for the girls.

The journey seems like a infinite one. As it doesn’t stop. The plain is going like a turtle. He gets restless. When he is gonna see his family. His lovely wife and the  beautiful daughters.

At last plain arrived. He took a cab and rushed to his home. Home sweet home. Before even knocking the door…..it gets open. All his daughters. They saw their Dad from the Balcony. Where they were standing and waiting for him for almost 2-3 hours.’’Daddyyyyyyyyyyy………’’ Girls runs to him and gives him a big hug. He kisses each of them back. Hama the elder one.Sreya….the 2^nd one……….and …..Surya! Just then he remembers.’’O no!’’ 

When all settle down. Girls start searching for their gifts,’’What did you bring for us Dady?” they ask.’’Where is our gifts?’’Dady shows the bag’’Their.’’Though he feels a bit down.

Shama unpacks the gifts.Dady brought lots of things.Sreya and Surya also seat their and wait to see their gifts.Dady brought two lovely Salwar Kameez for  Shama and Sreya.2 boxes of colour,2 pendants,2 hair bands,2 big boxes of chocolates,2 big dolls and 2 toys……Surya looks at the gifts. With lots of patience. The bag gets empty very soon.

Dady searches something for Surya in his bag. Can’t understand how did he forgot about the little one???He gets a Radio set. The  radio ,which Surya got in a competition. Which one he took to his work and used it.Dady feels terrible. Promises to himself next time when he will go for a  long tour , he will make sure to take a group photo of her 3 daughters. Specially one of the younger one.

 Looks at the child. She is still with her smile……..which is dimming slowly…….

The reborn

Life is not about winning and loosing.Its about enjoying the winning,as well as with loosing.

Surya !Little Surya.She is not little any more.Nor got that cute little moony face.She is 4 now.Stronger.More talkative and a bit daring.She doesn't care much about all most anything.Argues for everything.Not at all like her elders.As these days Daddy gets more busy with his work and the family is getting more fortune.Mom has to give more time at home.Half of her energy goes off to control this little devil.


She is more naughty and more carefree.With that these days some how she is turning into Dady's favorite.He really enjoys this naughty wild daughter.Well! It's better to call a boy.She is everything but not a girl.Sometimes she reminds him of his childhood.He was an orphan by birth.Didn't got the chance to see his Mom.As she died to give him birth.His Dad was dead long before his world was even started to spin.


Sometimes Daddy pampers Surya a bit more.Well! Does she cares about scolding??She doesn't.More like a tornado or Tsunami in this little calm home.He feels funny.This girl is totally a blunder in the name of girl.


There will be a poem recitation competition very soon.Momma is preparing Shama for that..Soon they are gonna call Shama.Surya is standing and watching her big sister.The way she is practicing the poem.The way Mom is helping her.


Then the time comes.Announcer calls once,twice...........but Shama gets scared..Can't go up.Her throat turns dry.''Mom let me go.'' Says Surya.Mom falls from the sky.''What will you do there? What will you tell there?''The organizer gets impatient.''OK! OK let her in.Everyone is waiting.Don't create scene now.''


Surya goes up.Confident and her daring nature is her biggest strength.For the first time this unruly girl steps on the stage.She already memorized the  poem by seating beside Shama.


Surya appears on the stage.Tells her first poem.Mom looks at that girl ..........like someone she doesn't know or never saw.And thinks ,''Is this the daughter I gave birth to?''
