THE STARTING POINT
“Your father
has brought the form of CA and B.com too. Here it is. Read it carefully and
then fill it.” Said my mom.
“CA form??”
I screamed. “I don’t want to do CA ma. I had already told you earlier. Didn’t
you tell papa?”
“Am I
suppose to be a mediator between both of you all the time? I am not saying
anything to your papa. Go and talk yourself ”she said while clearing my shabby
bed.
“Mom I told
you about that thing”. I said irritatingly “You know how much I wanted to go.
But why will you care? You just love bhai. My wishes, my feelings do not hold
any importance to you.” I said angrily.
“ Taru beta
, it is not like that. You know it is not possible. Your father will allow you
to do it. Please understand it will just create tension in the house. You can’t
do it Taru” explained my mom.
“But why?
Why can’t I? At least let me explore. I want to experience it once. Let me go
ma please. Talk to papa.
There will
be first an interview and then only the selection will take place. After that ,
joining or not is in our hands ma. Am I right or not?”
Ma said “ok
Taru, I will talk. But I don’t promise. You know how your father is. He wants
you to complete your studies first.”
I said “Ma
you know I don’t want to do CA. I want to do either Fashion designing or Mass
Communication or something like that.If not that , I will pursue B.com, I will complete my
studies. But not CA.
Please mom,
convince him pleeeaaseee. Just once. For me”
Ma said
“fine…you won’t leave me until I say yes… right”and smiled.
Next day....
My father
just came in when I was engrossed watching a dance show and trying to copy it’s
steps sitting on my bed. Suddenly I saw him and abnormally stopped. It seemed
as if somebody was controlling me through a remote control and he pressed the
stop button immediately.
My father
was a strict father and did not want us to get influenced by the dance shows or
movies. For him studies held utmost priority .
He came into
my room and asked “Taru tell me what are you planning. Do you really want to
attend this interview? I am fine with this but please let me tell you , think
before you take any decision as career moves are very crucial.
You are very young now and 17 years is no age to work. Still I don’t want that you kill your dreams. Ultimately you have to be happy in your life”.
You are very young now and 17 years is no age to work. Still I don’t want that you kill your dreams. Ultimately you have to be happy in your life”.
I said
“thankyou papa. Thankyou so much.”
He said “all
the best Taru. Do well.”
“I’ll do my
best” I said cheerfully.
Suddenly my
devil brother entered. I used to hate him for always bullying me. He was always
very open to papa and never hesitated to say anything in front of him . Overall
he wasn’t scared of him as I was.
“Who will
take you black beauty?” chuckled my nasty brother. “You know Air Hostesses are
so fair and beautiful. They will see your face and reject you there only” and
he laughed devishly. I felt, if he had horns on his head just like the real
devils do, I would have broken them into pieces.
My father
smiled and left the room as this was an everyday routine. My brother’s love for
me was always in this raw form. The emotional sort was not his type.
“ Mommmm” I
shouted. “ Look bhai is again teasing me. Get him out of my room.”
“What
happened? Again you both started” she said.
“Not me mom.
Why did you say ‘you both’? HE is teasing me. You always favour him only. Ask
him to go away”. I said.
“ Varun what
is this. Again? Why are you behind her all the time. You know she doesn’t like
it.” She scolded her in the most dramatic way.
“I am just
telling her not to think of all this and concentrate
on studies”.
Bhai said obediently.
on studies”.
Bhai said obediently.
“ I know
what to do and what not. You don’t give me gyan” I said .
“I am your
elder brother. Elder to you by whole 3 years. Alright. Look ma how she is
talking to me.” Bhai complained to mom.
“Oh my GOD”
my mom screamed as if bhai really got horns out of his head.
“What
happened??” we both questioned out of fear.
“Milk. On
the gas. It happens because of you both” she murmured while running slowly and
left the room.
“ Hey so how
much percentage are you expecting in your boards? I know you won’t top like me
but still…what’s your expectation?” Bhai asked.
“ I know
bhai. You are a scholar but I am not. Happy?” I said irritatingly and my eyes
became a li’l soggy which was an everyday phenomena after all the bhai’s
teasing.
“ Ooo my
li’l baby….i am sorry… Taru I am serious. Tell me na, how much are you expecting”.
“It’s ok
bhai.” I smiled. Thought for a while and said “ well actually I am expecting
somewhere around 80 to 85 %”.
“hmmm” he
thought for a while and said “ I doubt this will fetch you admission in DU for
your degree. The cut – off last time was 91%. This time it is expected to be
higher .”
“ I know
bhai. But I worked hard.” I said slowly.
“ I know
baby. No worries. This is also not bad. They are decent marks. Anyways this is
your holiday time , so don’t think about the results and enjoy. Start worrying
after a month”. He told me sounding like the best brother in the whole world.
“ Thankyou
bhai”.I gave a childish smile and said.
“I heard you
are going to give the interview tomorrow to enroll yourself in the Air –
Hostess Institute. Have you thought nicely about it?” asked my brother.
“Yes bhai. I
want to see once how is it all like.I am actually excited”. I said.
“Fine then.
Go ahead.All the best. Chak de fatte.”He gave a high five.
“Thankyou
bhai. You are the best bhai in the whole world” I hugged him.
He tipped on
my head and said “ I know my black
beauty” and ran out of the room.
This time I
did not get irritated.I was happy as everyone had given a nod to me for
attending the interview. I was so relieved. I was thinking what will be my
friends reaction when they will get to know about it. I was thinking that Pooja
would be so jealous!! I started preparing in my mind for the interview while
watching TV.
THE GUIDE
Well I hope
that you all had a refreshing time seeing the environment at Tarunima’s house.
Many of you would have gone down the memory lane and would be missing your
teenage when percentage in class XII was
the most important question in life, admissions were the biggest tension , cute
sibling fight was the only irritation and holiday’s after exams was the most
relaxing vacation after so much of hard work!
It was all
so simple. Wasn’t it? We all have been through this stage or may be some of our
friends are going through. Choosing the right career path is always the most
difficult process in one’s life. It can make or break the castle of your
dreams.
This is the
same stage that Tarunima in our story is going through. She has won the
confidence of all her family members and is going for the interview tomorrow.
If she clears it , she will get admission into the institute which trains for
being an Air – Hostess. She is excited and thrilled as it is something very new
and most of all , none of her friends have applied for it. She will be the only
one to go for it!!
This was her
little world and innocent thoughts. This was the STARTING POINT of her glorious
career she had never even thought of.
So anyone of
you preparing to for it tomorrow can relate to it very easily.
But be with
us friends. There is a lot more . Will she be actually able to join the institute?
If not, what
will be that one thing that will hold her back even after the permission of all
her family members??
Want to
know…..so turn over!!!
