Wait Wait Wait… just before
assuming anything, let me set the scenario first,..;) hahahaha coz this was a type of general GD.
On 1 Sunday we were invited to one of the family gatherings
for dinner. It begins with usual greetings of hi-hello, how are you?, seen
after long time and exchanging smileys…. Right after few minutes we cousins
moved to 1 side with our group (I mean group of same age..;) )
Chit chat started in a manner like:
A: Hey Bro, Hws your new job going? What are the perks and
job role there?
B: Well it seems good, a good jump from previous
organization and profile is better, I mean something new to learn..
C: Hey look @ this amazing pic, how beautiful this place
looks!! But I wonder which place this could be with so serene atmosphere!
Her
eyes stacked on that pic…
Me: It might be Ladhakh/Shimla/Kashmir something like that
place…
C: Oh yaa, one of my wishes to rove @ Shimla- Manali.. Bro I
am planning this summer to go there with friends
A: Yes, we can go altogether with family, lil sis
C: Bro… I mean and I said with “Friends”
B: Aren’t your bro is your friend?
Me: Bro , a friend!!! He is the one who always think himself
as the best of all .. most illusionary person…
All
eyes on me.. I mean actually I forgot that I m seating with brothers too… I
signaled to C for my stupidity.. lollzzz
C: Guys you know it’s the best place to go and and chill out
there.. snow on all sides , cool breeze , drizzling, freezed river… just wow!
Me: Hey let me add something more… there would be;
Ø
River Rafting

C: Noooo…. Not fair yar… you are tempting me more towards it

A: Ya, ya but not just with friends dear, or you can take me
with your group… and by the way who are ready in your trip to join you?
C: Me and D are damn ready and bro it’s a tour , we will get
more friends there on boarding of train, or say on the way..
B: Sounds interesting C, but you both are girls only. It
would be better if someone to whom you know should be with you for your
safety..
C: Why on girls every time..?? All restrictions .. mere
injustice
Me: What you guys are talking about?? C’mon grow up!
Ø
She is adult
Ø
She knows how to care for herself
Ø
She would learn if nobody ( I mean any of the
family members) would be with her
Ø
She would start recognizing people
Ø
Learn to mingle with different people
Ø
How to behave with strangers that suddenly
turned into trip friends
Ø
To live the life moving out of the comfort zone
and even…..
A: Hey Hey stop yar ; we are living in “India” yaa…All these
things that you are saying its good in just words not in execution.
B: Agreed bro, but does it mean that we should suppress her
freedom or say to make her always feeble by overprotecting her?
Me :Guys, whatever I said are not just words, its my
experience. And its not about being suppressing freedom..
Ø
Make her as strong as you guys are
Ø
Even she deserves the right to live freely and
fly with her own wings
Ø
Trust her abilities and watch her
Ø
If she reels, then hold her hand and ask to
continue her journey….
C: So can I go with my friends…..?? Bro please ask Mom and
Dad to allow………………
Sound
from far….. All of you come here for dinner…..
C: (Whispering in my ear) Thanks yar… Atleast you made some
efforts to make my wish come true..
Me: ………….What you all say , Is this “Indian” mentality will
ever gonna change for girls despite each one of us being highly educated….??
Thank God!! I am blessed in India too…. J J J
