A girl next door : Suhani

Today I am in full swing to write something about myself. There is nothing interesting to know about me. I thought of writing this blog for my fiance, Adi, who has many complaints for me. Every now and then he says why am I so closed up, and do not answer his questions. The fact is when I interact with any individual I tend to act as if I do not care for him or her. I take my own time to make friendship. Believe me friends this does not last long. I like to judge a person before, and look into what are his or her likes and dislikes. As such I am protective towards myself from making any new relation. So, I always put up walls around me, and generally do not take a leap of faith. There would be a few girls in today’s time to fall in my row. I strongly say this because through out my career many of my friends said me so. That yes!! Suhani is different from others. This is mainly due to my upbringing. Adi you must know this. Darling this is all for you. Hope after reading this you can better understand me…..

To speak more about myself I am a modern, liberal, and contemporary person. I relate myself to the present, and believe in accepting the change of life. Being born to a conservative family, I was brought up in an environment that has many principles to follow. There were many restrictions on my thoughts, words, and other gimmick of life. To be more precise, my mom was strict on me. As a result I had a strict set of rules to follow. I grew up being cautious on what I would do or say. On the other hand, my dad had a different approach towards life. He never had any rules to follow rather helped me understanding the meaning of life in a more logical manner. Dad always wanted me to enjoy life on my terms and conditions. But I was too young to decide those terms, whatever the terms mean here. He said never compromise on what you think of doing. Keep everyone aside when it comes to you, and believe in yourself. To add on he even asked me never limit your friend circle. Try your best observing good traits of both your good and bad friends, if you have any.

After completing my school I moved to a distant town for my higher studies, stayed there in hostel. I had all the independence to do whatever I liked. No doubt all those strictness had its hidden effect on my personality. Many liked me for that and others were unable to digest. It is said a person’s upbringing matters a lot in grooming his or her personality. To be specific I had the choice of following two paths. One was of my mom who had many red lines to follow. And the other was of my dad who asked me to take decisions on my own. I must say there was always a hidden hitch in anything and everything I did. As days passed I learnt the art of flirting with those lines. Come close to those red lines; take a small peek, and then returning back to my bases as early as possible. But sooner I realized my mom’s thought was more on me than my dad’s. So sweetheart, have patience. Am not a spoil sport but yes can not discuss things loud or express myself so bold. I still fall behind those red lines. Friends!! I am going for an arrange marriage. I have changed our real names to Adi and Suhani. You know those red lines. Lol!! So how could I disclose our names? Friends waiting for your comments.
