Dear Friends
I was moved by seeing my daughter's story she presented us on our Marriage 25th Anniversary today the 16th Nov 2012.
I am sharing her story with you in my blog....
A small story or a one-shot about me and my life with my
parents~
WARNING! INCLUDES FANTASY, NOTHING FROM REAL LIFE, WELL, THIS
USED TO BE MY FANTASY AND THE FEELINGS I FELT WERE REAL SO NO
COMPLAINTS…>W<
Paradise always lies where you are
“This is paradise!” it really was… this was the home for all
kids that yet have to be born, I was one amongst those who have a lot of time
left until they are born, in that mean time, we used to play hide and seek,
play with alchemy and magic, and all sorts of stuff. I loved that place. It was
really fun, we could do whatever we want, have how much food we want, and it
was paradise.
But… that one day… God called for me… and he told it’s time to
leave and go to earth… I was literally shocked when he said me so… “b-b-but,
there is no other place like paradise! I love being here!” “…” he didn’t say
anything… “I don’t want to leave! Its boring to be born there!!” he spoke up
“my child… you will have more fun there… I promise…” I didn’t want to leave and
so I urged him even more… “I don’t want to!!” “I promised didn’t I? you will
love being there instead of here… so much you don’t want to leave earth…” I
looked up to him in disagreement, I wondered if he was even telling the truth…
heck! What am I thinking!? He will always say the truth no matter what! “Promise?”
I showed my pinky finger to him as he was a bit surprised but later,
He let out
a chuckle as he wrapped his pinky finger around mine… “Promise” he had a warm
smile on as he escorted me out of paradise… we went through the world of
sinners which is called ‘Hell’, I heard it from my friends, they told me it was
really scary there, but it was much more scary seeing it myself… my next stop…
earth… before I dropped down… God said that… “The couple you’re seeing down there…
it has already been 12 ½ years after marriage…” “Whoa! That’s a long time!
Didn’t they have any kids…?” I regretted it when I asked that question because
his answer was… “No… 2 failed attempts already…” “…” silence… that was it…
decision made… I felt really sad for them… I wonder if it was any other kid,
will they take care of them…? Well I would absolutely… “So, isn’t it the time
for you to be going now..?” he shot at me with a heartwarming smile as I just
nodded my head to his question… before I dropped down into earth, God told me…
“I wanted you to be their child as you would help them through any problem…
but… that doesn’t mean you wouldn’t cross any problems yourself… you should
choose your paths wisely my child… and learn with every mistake… do you understand?”
I was hesitant at giving my answer… “…….” I couldn’t open my mouth… the words
‘yes I understand’ didn’t come out… as if they were stuck in my throat…I wasn’t
scared… but something sent chills up my spine… “My child…?” I jerked and tried
to stay calm but failed miserably… “Yes…I understand…” he gave a warm smile…
“good, I was worried, now best of luck!” before I went down to earth I looked
back at him and smiled… that was the last time I saw him… waving back at me as
I left… “I’m going to face a lot of troubles huh..?” that’s when I saw my
parents… they were so happy to see me… and me… I thought I felt a tingle in my
heart as if…
I was blessed with one of the best parents in the world… “A-a-a-a-a-abbu!”
my father was overjoyed when I called his name… “a-a-a-a-ammi!” my mom… was
overjoyed as well… and me…? Heh… just like any other baby… I was totally
clueless and so innocent… I did face many hurdles on my way here on earth…
living here is kind of hard, but I have learned it’s better to face than to run
away… that… which I have learned from my dad… and “be nice to people and they
will be nice to you”… which I have learned from my mom… I am really blessed
with a strong, filled with pride, confident father and a sweet, cute, kind
mother… and what am I? a mix of both the personalities… “Come on suru! Your bus
is waiting for you!” a call from my dad… “Okay! I’m going down! Bye abbu! Bye
ammi!” I head down to my bus… “Gosh! That driver tells he comes early but makes
me wait at least 10 mins!” I thought to myself… today, I look back to how I was
before… what god said affected me then… but now I can bravely say… “I can face
whatever hurdles come in my way!” that’s right… and… I can also say… “Dear past
self, you were dearly mistaken when you said you weren’t going to have any fun
here on earth… earth is a billion times more fun than paradise… because… with
my parents here… with how they have blessed me… I’m really happy…” I look up
and smile at the sky because I know god is watching… “… Promise fulfilled” thank
you… for blessing me with my parents… I don’t know how to thank you… and… I
have learned and experienced from god… “Paradise lies where your parents are…”
heh… absolutely right… “Paradise always lies where you are”
-From your dear Suraiya (aka- Suru)

ReplyDeleteಇದು ಕತೆಯಲ್ಲ,ನಿಮ್ಮ ಮಗುವಿನ ಮನದಾಳದ ಭಾವನೆ ಕಥಾರೂಪವಾಗಿ ಹೊರಬಂದಿದೆ. ಎಂತಹ ಮಾರ್ಮಿಕ ಕತೆಯನ್ನು ಈ ಪುಟ್ಟ ಹುಡುಗಿ ಬರೆದಿದ್ದಾಳಲ್ಲ! ಕತೆ ಮುದ್ದಾಗಿರುವಂತೆ, ನಿಮ್ಮ ಮಗಳೂ ಮುದ್ದಾಗಿದ್ದಾಳೆ. ಇಂತಹ ಪ್ರತಿಭಾವಂತ,ಸಂವೇದನಾಶೀಲ,ಮುದ್ದು ಮಗಳನ್ನು ಪಡೆದ ನೀವೇ ಧನ್ಯರು!
ಸುನಾಥಣ್ಣ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಆಶೀರ್ವಾದವನ್ನು ಅವಳಿಗೆ ತಲುಪಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ನನ್ನ ಆಭಾರ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಪಡಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ. ನಿಮ್ಮ ಹಾರೈಕೆ ಆಶೀರ್ವಾದಕ್ಕೆ
ReplyDeleteಆಜಾದೂ...
ReplyDeleteಭಾವನೆಗಳನ್ನು ನನಗೆ ಇಂಗ್ಲೀಷಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಲಿಕ್ಕೆ ಕಷ್ಟ...
ಆದರೆ ಅರ್ಥ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳಬಲ್ಲೆ...
ಪುಟ್ಟಿ ಬರೆದ ಕಥನ ಓದಿದೆ...
ಕಣ್ಣಲ್ಲಿ ನೀರಾಡಿತು...
ಆಶಾ ಓದಿದಳು... ಅವಳೂ ಸಹ ಖುಷಿ ಪಟ್ಟಳು... ಕಣ್ಣಲ್ಲಿ ನೀರು ಜಿನುಗಿತು..
ಆಯಿಯಂತೂ ಹೃದಯ ತುಂಬಾ ಹರಸಿದ್ದಾಳೆ...
ನಿಮ್ಮ ಸಂಸಾರ ಯಾವಾಗಲೂ ಸಂತೋಷದಿಂದ ಇರಲಿ ಅಂತ...
ದೇವರು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಎಲ್ಲ ಆಸೆ ಕನಸುಗಳನ್ನು ನನಸಾಗಿಸಲಿ....
ಇದು ನಮ್ಮೆಲ್ಲರ ಶುಭ ಹಾರೈಕೆ....
ಪುಟ್ಟಿಯ ಪ್ರತಿಭೆಗೆ ನಮ್ಮೆಲ್ಲರ ಶುಭಾಶೀರ್ವಾದಗಳು ....
ಸ್ಪಂದನೆ, ಆಪ್ಯಾಯತೆ, ಸಂಬಂಧಗಳನ್ನು ಹತ್ತಿರದಿಂದ ನೋಡಿ ಅನುಭವಿಸುವ ನಿಮ್ಮೆಲ್ಲರ ಆತ್ಮೀಯತೆಗೆ ನಮನ
Deleteಭಾಗ್ಯವಂತರು ನೀವೇ ಭಾಗ್ಯವಂತರು.
ReplyDeleteಓದುತ್ತಾ ಓದುತ್ತಾ ಮನಸು ಆರ್ಧ್ರವಾಯ್ತು, ಮೂಕವಾಯಿತು. ನನಗೂ ಮಗಳಿರಬಾರದೇ ಎಂದೂ ಅನಿಸಿತು.
ತಂದೆ ತಾಯಿ ಮನಸನ್ನು ಸುಲಭವಾಗಿ ಅರ್ಥ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ದೈವದತ್ತ ವರ ಹೆಣ್ಣು ಮಕ್ಕಳಿಗಿರುತ್ತದೆ. ನಿಮಗೂ ಈ ಭಾಗ್ಯ ಒದಗಲಿ ಬದರಿ
ReplyDeleteತಂದೆ ತಾಯರ ಪ್ರೀತಿಯನ್ನು " ಮಗಳು " ಎಂದೂ ಮರೆಯುವುದಿಲ್ಲಾ.
ReplyDeleteಎಮ್ಮೆಸ್ ಸರ್ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಅಶೀರ್ವಾದಕ್ಕೆ ಧನ್ಯವಾದ... ನಮ್ಮ ಹೊಸ ಮನೆಗೂ ಬಂದು ಹರಸಿದಿರಿ..ಅದು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಹಿರಿತನ ಆತ್ಮೀಯತೆ.
Deleteಮನದಾಳದ ಭಾವನೆಗಳು ಸುಂದರವಾಗಿ ಹೊರ ಹೊಮ್ಮಿವೆ.
ReplyDeleteಮಾತಾಪಿತರಿರುವ ಸ್ಥಾನವೇ ದೇವಸ್ಥಾನ!
ನಿಜವಾಗಿಯೂ ಬೇಕೆ ಅನ್ಯ ತೀರ್ಥಸ್ಥಾನ?
ಮಾತಾಪಿತರನ್ನರಿತು ಬಾಳುವ ಮಕ್ಕಳಿರಲು, ಮಕ್ಕಳ ಭಾವನೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಸ್ಪಂದಿಸುವ ಮಾತಾಪಿತರಿರಲು, ಸ್ವರ್ಗ ಬೇರೋಂದಿಲ್ಲ. ಇಷ್ಟು ಚಿಕ್ಕ ವಯಸ್ಸಿನಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ಅಪಾರ ಅರಿವನ್ನು ಪ್ರದರ್ಶಿಸುತ್ತಿರುವ ಮಗುವಿಗೆ ಹಾರ್ದಿಕ ಶುಭ್ಹ ಹಾರೈಕೆಗಳು. ಮಾತಾಪಿತರೀರ್ವರಿಗೂ ಅಭಿನಂದನೆಗಳು!
ಸುರೇಶ್, ನಿಮ್ಮ ಆತ್ಮೀಯ ಮಾತಿಗೆ ಹಾರೈಕೆಗೆ ಮತ್ತು ಸುರು-ನನ್ನು ಅಶೀರ್ವದಿಸಿದಕ್ಕೆ ಮನಃಪೂರ್ವಕ ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳು.
Deleteಈ ಪುಟ್ಟು ನಿರಂತರ ಹೀಗೇ ಬೆಳೆಯಲಿ ಆಝಾದ್ ಭೈಯ್ಯಾ.. ನಿಮ್ಮ ಸಂಭ್ರಮದ ಸಂಸಾರದಲ್ಲಿ ನಗು ಹೊಳೆಯಾಗಿ ಹರಿಯುತ್ತಿರಲಿ...
ReplyDeleteoh just loved it Azad Bhai...love to her....ಬೆಳೆಯುವ ಪೈರು ಮೊಳಕೆಯಲ್ಲೇ ಅಂತ ಹೇಳುತ್ತಾರಲ್ಲವಾ?? She shows signs of becoming a great writer...

ReplyDeleteno words to say more dan dis sir ,,,
Thumbs up to you and your sweet daughter :)may God bless her wid more health and happiness:)
Bhagya, thank you very much... even I was touched and speechless. She just said, abbu want to use your lap top for a while, I said OK and let her do that while I watched a movies over the TV. I realized only after half way that she has gone for doing her home work in her study room. When I activated the screen, saw this article of her's ....read it and was not believing my own eyes..., yes I knew she writes a bit but not this way of making a wonderful beginning, go though the wishes, feel proud of us, thank God and end wishing us... I was in tears... my wife asked was shocked..she asked..what happened...??? I showed her the story, she too was like me.
DeleteI made up my mind not to touch even a word but simply copy and paste to facebook and to my blog (bhavamanthana).
Thank you for the blessings and wishes.
Very matured writing, the flow and the choice of words are simply outstanding. This would embarrass many established English writers I am sure! Let her read good English literature and books, which I am sure she must be doing already. May god bless her and proud parents!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kishan for your affection and wishes. She has developed this habit of writing..and yes as u said she needs to get nurtured..I am aware of that...
DeleteThank you. again.
Dear Suru,
ReplyDeleteHeart touching.... "You are the Best"
Appreciate your thoughts and love for your parents.
Beyond this is the Personality and Positive Attitudes you have developed towards Life. May god bless with you Sweet Heart.
Dear Azad Sir,
You are Blessed and a proud parent. Your upbringing is all this.
.......Tears Am unable to Stop and I love my DAD............

Deleteತಂದೆ ತಾಯಿಯಾಗಿ ನೀವುಗಳು ಗೆದ್ದಿರಿ

Deleteಬೆಳೆಯುವ ಸಿರಿ ಮೊಳಕೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಅನ್ನುವುದನ್ನು ಈ ಕಥೆ ನಿರೂಪಿಸುತ್ತದೆ...ಪುಟಾಣಿ ಅಜಾದ್ (ಸುರಯ) ದೊಡ್ಡ ಅಜಾದ್ ರವರ ಮಟ್ಟಕ್ಕೆ ಏರಲೇಂದು ಹಾರೈಸುವೆ...
