memories recollected in tranquility

Early as 6 in the morning,got hold of my toothbrush,without paying attention its the shaving cream or the toothpast?? Until my mouth was filled with bubbles.Feeling fresh and happy got my sari fr4om the cupboard,the ornaments,make-up kit and rushed to my aunt's place,fortunately we live in the same house. Banging the door hard.....as if osama bin laden's next target is our house....lisa starts barking,sniffing all through...atlast aunt comes up...i run hurriedly down the stairs.Waking up early morning specially in winter around 6.30am is a pain..But it was not that i woke up having a 'holy" cause to sit back and study...it was my dance programme in my school,for which i was so very excited..i will wear colorful sari..and deck up beautifully...its 15th august...my cousin sister gets up,giving me an irritated look.But i totally ignore that thinking "ok!ok ..i will get you pot of sweets as a welcome gift now don't give me that look" The sari having a new smell mixed with a dash of napthalene...i love it....Around 7.30..am all set..my mom and sister also ready with their bags.I eagerly stare at them to get  praises..ready to hear good things about my looks...am restless...its already late i know..but i won't go without earning praises from my father,"wait!! let me get the camera...u look so big...need to marry u off soon" he said.My face turning red...i give poses....all among the hustle and bustle i get mixed in the crowd...becoming difficult for my mom and sister to search for me...after the drill its my performance......
looking relieved my mother hugs me.."good one...now rush and get the prasad" i run fast and stumble upon a stone....lost my mother's precious gold earing.
