So sitting here on a lazy afternoon, watching my colleague having a good snore on his desk diagonally opposite to my cubicle.. and keeping my baby steps into the blogging world and thinking fondly about my grandfather, i decide let the first blog post be for the family and about the family,for family is a prime criteria and consideration
Well my family, let me start with the boss, my dad... goals set... track set... aiming high.... and like others, my dad is my biggest hero. He is slogging in the middle east for the past 25+ years and I can say aloud that each heartbeat,each muscle, each blood drop in my body is sponsored by the Saudi riyals, the Kuwait dinars and now the Qatar riyal. Of course now I am earning and surviving on that. My mother has been asking him to come down and settle down for years, recently even I joined the brigade with my mother. But father is not sure he always tells next time quitting for sure, problem is next time never happens.
I have the same feeling for my mother, what everyone else feel about their mothers. My mom is the world's best mom. Sigh I miss her always, her voice, food, or even the mere presence around makes me happy. She is a housewife, father was away and she bought me and my sis up, so I guess more bonding with my sis and mom for me compared to dad. What I want is them to be together wherever be it India or Qatar. But mother cannot go now due to my sister's maternity issues.
Talking about my sister, who married the love of her life, my brother in law whom I couldn't accept initially but gradually won the family' heart. A charmer. She was my punching bag, my hatred, every bad word I knew, till I got my maturity and understood family values. Life taught me that blood is thicker than water and she is my most beloved sweetheart this day.
Along with that my granny,grandfather makes the package complete. I feel relationship with grands are so special, will never get that amount of affection from anywhere else. Love them both.
To complete the package I have cousins (1st,2nd,3rd etc) and a flock of uncles and aunts.... Looks like a happy family.... Yes it is one happy family, of-course we do have our tragedies and sorrows and hardships and tough-times even now... But all keeps us moving and time takes care of everything.
So I complete my first blog over a period of three hours. Feels good... maybe in due time I get better topics and writing improves.. Love and care.....
Peace out
