Growing up/aging gracefully II

In my last post I decided to talk about my second daughter Abhiruchi alias ruchi alias bubbly she was always a take it easy girl . i remember when she was quiet young maybe 6 years her mother had put here in a judo class mothers or for that matter even fathers do a lot of injustice to children they want them to grow up in a single day and have all the traits like a good academic mind , good command on music and than also a good sportsman and what not . What a pity one child and some many roles to play. It basically stems from the fact that they want them to achieve in the shortest spell what they could not do in life time.

coming back to ruchi we had this park close to our home where they used to teach judo to children. And here ruchi the carefree that she is doing it in slow motion and not bothering about what others were doing and setting her own rhythm i think that set the tone for her entire life she has created a rhythm of her own and going through the life at her own pace.

in her younger days she was quiet accident prone at every place wherever we went she would have an accident. At silchar she straight went to the hotel toilet and god knows how she managed to get the sink on top of herself. Immediately we rushed her to hospital fortunately it was superficial cut. Again at Agartala she fell from the roof of the house this time she was not as lucky and had a skull injury and had to be hospitalized it was a traumatic experience as we i had lost my niece in head injury despite best medical care and here we were at a place where only primitive arrangement was there the doctors would not even allow us to fly out for 72 hours after which we took her to gauahati

again one day at calcutta she managed to stick a marble in her nose and when the doctor removed it first thing she asked for was where is my ball. fortunately after that there were not many incidents except one when she kicked a scooter and hurt herself.

She enjoyed her school thoroughly for a girl who used to do judo karate in slowmotion basket ball became a favorite sport and may be she couldn't have survived a singe day without playing basket ball or tennis. During her class 9th 12th she would get up early morning play tennis and and than play basket ball god knows from where she got the energy.

we are always very skeptical about her studies but she did manage to catch the train Compared to her AAkaknsha was very serious girl who used to take her studies very seriously

As like Aakaknsha she had lot of time before leaving for Australia she used to be stressed a bit regarding her visa but never showed overtly only her mother used to push me. Her years at school and the sixmonth she spent at home have totally transformed her from a shy girl tugging her sisters dress to confident fresher at swinburne i still have that picture in mind i shall try to find it a put it on the blog.

keep it ruchi your transformation from ruchi to bubbly has been fantastic i know you can bring the warmth in your sisters life which probably we are not able to sitting back here in India my heart is with you as i have always acknowledged you as my pet.
