A diverse band they indeed are

A diverse band they indeed are...

From our youngest...all of near 5 years old...and the leader of the naughty girls brigade and her granny stories...the 7.5 years old who is sharp in mind but carries a temper...the 10 years old whose temper rises in a flash just as her tears come rolling down her cheeks equally quickly...followed by a beautiful smile that invariably emanates with a little cajoling...to the one whose soft voice and silence are merely wool over the silent devil she is...the teen who's face often swells with anger but more often breaks into broad smiles...dubbed Meena Kumari...the 8 years old with loads of affection and umpteen stories to tell...the quiet one who is studious and obedient but who of late has become a part of the naughty brigade...the young adolescent who shows initiative but doesn't spare a whack for even those elder to her...the pretty little girl who still feels studies are not for her...to the one who shows attitude...each of our 30 girls have their own distinct nature...and diversities...and yet a common thread that binds them together...Ghar...

Deeply bonded they are...to Ghar...whatever be their backgrounds they are woven together as a family...a family that is their pillar of strength...a family that is a repertoire of emotions, feelings...and love...a family that cares for each of her siblings...a family that'll catapult them to realise their dreams...

A diverse band they are...they are life..
