Long Time.....
Hah..I see that the last you heard from me was way back in Aug 2009. Jesus..I was such a young baby then. Too many things have happened in my life since then. Not to worry, I can give you some interesting updates.
Ok, let me start from today and then go back. Currently I am at my Ajja's house. My mom and Nupur Pachi are planning for some thing for new year. I wonder why Achan is not here. He sure wants to do something, but, as usual, looks confused. He probably has left it to Amma to decide.
The most important update from me is about my school. It is called 'Roots to Wings'. Just about 5 minutes from my home. I did not know this concept called 'school'. One day my parents took me to this place and this place was a little weird for me. A lot of kids who look like me, some of them crying. I thought my parents had enough of me and they were going to leave me there. I tried my best, but tears rolled down when they left me and walked away. It was horrible. I thought, "That's it, I have to manage myself from now on." I saw some strange faces, none familiar. I was angry with everyone. I said to myself "Arpita, you have to manage, take control.." and then I was fine. "Whatever happens, I will manage", I said.
I barely started exploring the place when I saw my Ajja-Appooppa at the door. "Hey, at least Ajja wants me", I said. I ran to him. I was taken back home. I was relieved. Everything was fine.
The next day I was brave, at least, that's what I thought I was. Don't know what happened, seeing the school building brought back some not-so-good feelings. I know it's someplace where I have to spend some time, but still don't know why should I spend time here, away from everyone.
Slowly, I became comfortable. I made friends. My best friend is Ananya. I go in a white school van. I am happy. I learned a lot of songs. I like this, the school thing that you have on this planet. It's sort of good, you know...
The other thing that I want to tell you is about my cousins. I have 3 of them. Ananya Chechi, Aniket and Devika. I and Ananya Chechi are friends. She is a cool girl you know. I like Devika also, she is damn cute. I bully here though. Aniket - he is a brat. He wants whatever I have in my hand. All of us together, we really enjoy, you know. I will tell you about our last vacation together.
Achan was talking about some place we all will go when Ananya Chechi and Aniket are here. I was also very happy, I can tell you, even Achan was very excited. He was talking to me about this for so many days. Finally, the day arrived. All of us got up early in the morning and before I realized what was happening, I was in the car. We were in two cars. It was fun.
I sensed some trouble, I think the car had some problems on the way. Don't know much about what happened, but we all got into Saiju Elechan's car and drove off leaving Achan, Achachan and Ajit Vellichan with the other car. We reached our resort in the evening. Hey, that was the first time I was seeing the sea. Wow, such a huge thing. Till then, I thought the swimming pool in our apartment was huge. This is massive. I loved playing on the beach. Me and Ananya Chechi got into the water. Devika was scared. Aniket, as usual, wanted to swim. Over all, we had a nice time there. I remember the name of the place was Pondy..or was it something else...
The third thing that I want to share with you is about a whole lot of festivals that we celebrated. I lost count of all of them. The last Diwali was great. We burst so many crackers. I really love Diwali.
Life is good. I am enjoying every moment of it. I will make sure that my father writes every week. I found a new word that you guys use. Nag. I will do that to him. Cheers.
