"The beginning of my life was like a beautiful dream!". I told my own reflection and gazed at the sad smile which was painted on my face.

"It started with my arrival in this world"

It was like an ordinary day of year 2002. Autumn knocked at the door of the northern plains of India. The dried yellow leaves detached themselves from the branches of the tall trees and fell swiftly towards the ground, marking the arrival of autumn. The winds rustled through the trees as if they were the messengers and were announcing it's arrival.

My whole family was overjoyed at the arrival of a little girl. They gave me a warm welcome with full enthusiasm and zeal. Sweets, bouquets and gifts were given to each and every person in the hospital. They held a great grand celebration because their wish came true, finally they were gifted with a little baby girl who was born after almost ninety years!

So my arrival was celebrated the way arrival of Autumn was celebrated by the nature!

I always held a very special place in everyone's heart so, I always managed to grab everyone's attention. And from here my pampering starts - - Everyday when I woke up , the first thing I used to do was opening my wardrobe and picking out my dress for the day.

Everyone in my family had their own way to express their love and attachment towards me. But my favorite was the way my Grandma treated me. She used to enhance my appearance by applying Kohl at the edges of my eyes. I loved the way she combed by entangled curly hair to perfection and the way she use to slide studded coloured glass bangles onto my wrists.

I gazed at the reflection of six year old me who was surrounded by the same aura of innocence, wearing a exquisite lehnga and a studded gold necklace. She loved running through the corridor to the courtyard of her big house. Running and circling around and among the potted flowering plants and dancing on the melodies of birds and falling in love with the tintinnabulation of her anklet bells which reverberated around the courtyard mixed with her ebullient laugh!

The more I think the more I manage to portray an image of a little girl in a typical Indian attire sitting on a big sofa, throwing tantrums ;she is surrounded by everyone pampering and consoling her by giving her - - her favorite soft toys and chocolates.

Her eagerness for nightfall can be sensed just by looking at the pep in her pretty sparky eyes. She used to wait till dusk for a long night drive. Sitting on the back seat and surrounded by her favorite snacks which included potato chips and white chocolates.
