Today is a perfect sunday, just because I am happy. I have grown one week wiser. Well where sundays are spent sleeping and relaxing, my day started at 5 am , yes 5 in the morning because I couldnt sleep last night.Today I had my law entrance exam, which to my surprise went well. I am so greatful to such caring parents. My dad drove me to almost one end of the city. How Lucky I am and then because my exam went well I have been able to convince my mom to let me study and dont hang the sword of marriage on my head.
Yes in India or in Punjabis you have to bargain your life with your parents. Please dont , get me married.
When I was in school I was an average student, I use to fail in Maths just pass in other subjects but scored full in behavior and manners. So I was good student and after my 10th when I took up arts stream, Thank God for no maths and I started scoring well, I could see my mother walking proudly out of school after parents teacher meeting. And on the other hand, my brother is extremely opposite he neither studies , scores well and his parents teacher meeting is all about how naughty he is, so my mom has all together stop going to his school. For my punjabi mother children should be obedient and get scared when a mother shows her eyes. I am still scared of those eyes but not my brother. Being a home maker now I can see that trust she has in me and wants me to study. I hope it lasts, because I know she will be back tomorrow morning discussing suitable grooms. She never thought in her wildest dreams that I will even study this much, as in doing a masters from Abroad. She just prayed that I atleast do my bachelors from Delhi University, which I did. Apart from a regular course in Communications.
So coming back to my Sunday! after the exam my brother and I discussed the paper , had lunch with family (Pranthas and Lassi), typically Punjabi and then slept. So now I have been online replying to mail from work, cleaning my cupboard and my room. And the weather is perfect. But whats so special about this Sunday that it has renewed my confidence in myself. I never thought an exam which I was dreading is going to be so empowering. Not only this but an inner turmoil has got its answers, so I am happy and I look forward to an exciting week.
