Giving Wings and Fighting the Odds

In past ten years a lot have changed but during our times when I was a girl, it was very difficult to even think of studying after school and complete graduation. I saw myself many of my friends got married in their early age before completing the education and entered into family life. In those times, it was very difficult to even think or ask parents directly and most of the times, our role was defined within the walls of the house. I always had a fear that if I would have the same fate as my other friends or would give a chance to at least completes my education. Then there were issues with my grandparents who always wanted me to get married as soon as possible and this decision was supported by my long distance relatives. It was very difficult at times to even study at homes because they would keep me busy in household chores and cooking stuff. Though I consider it equally important to perform the household chores but this was not the ultimate thing.

I had a dream to do fashion designing course and start my own boutique but it was not so easy for me. Then one day just when my father came back from office, I decided to take the bold step and see him and talk about my way of thinking and tell my wish of studying further to him. My father listened to me for more than an hour and took so many factors into consideration before finally giving me the green signal. I could see his expression as he would have to face everyone but I felt proud that my father became my strength and gave me support. All credit goes to him and I feel that was the day which is turning point of my life.

Celebrating Moments-Reviving My old Hobbies

Hobbies are left behind as we grow up in our life.They are days when we are busy and cannot find time for ourselves.I always have a regret in life about concentrating too much on studies and give less time to other important activities in life.I remember during my childhood when I had freedom to express myself and do anything I wanted to do.I would paint my walls and did some silly things and would maintain a scrap book of different colors and in summer holidays,I would draw different sceneries and paint then and post it on my room wall.I would love when people and guests coming to my house would appreciate my efforts and reward me with gifts and colors.

Now the time has changed and I have grown old and much responsible but now I would like to revive my interest in my hobbies again as before.Life is very much stable and settled now a day and my children are studying and everything seem to be going smooth as it should be.So now I am planning to join some art class on weekend for learning painting art in detail and also seek help from music teacher who can help me play my grandfather harmonium.I also had interest in collection of stamps and coins and made an album with coins from different countries.I guess this is perfect way to begin and open the closed cupboard again and see my collection and add more stamps to it.Knitting sweaters for my children is also a good time pass and being a house wife,I plan to utilize my time in making some good designs and knit clothes too.

Time never stops and it is right time to change my priorities in life and celebrate my old moments by reviving my hobbies.
