August 2012 turned out to be a special month for me. I had two long-term dream fulfillment in this month.
Ever since my father passed away, my mother doesn't wear any gold ornament in her hand as she doesn't have any gold bangle. When my father was alive, she used to wear 'ayastha' made in gold, which is a sign of marriage. My mother took this off when my father passed away two years back. Since then, she wears only two citi-gold bangles. Every time I see her hands without any gold ornament, it pinches me. So, last year I started to save in a monthly gold scheme in Tanishq. The plan matured last month and finally I bought two beautiful gold bangles for my mother. Though the purchase practically broke me, but what am I earning money for anyway?
The second dream was to visit Bombay which I could make happen in August, 2012. Since my sister stays in Bombay and also since I have already stayed and worked in Bombay for one year, the dream to stay and visit Bombay may sound very ordinary. But for me, it was one of the most extraordinary events of my life. For me, it was coming out of two of my greatest dreads. I might not be able to discuss everything here, but I'll always remember the August 2012 Bombay trip to be my victory in life.
The primary focus to visit Bombay was to visit the Prince of Wales Museum in Bombay, which I couldn't do in my one year stay there. The trip to the museum turned out to be more astounding than I had imagined as it took six hours for me to visit the entire museum. And, I can only assure everyone that it was worth visiting the place. I wish I had not caught fever the next day, mainly due to the change of climatic condition between Bangalore and Bombay, I believe, I could have one more day to spend in Bombay and I would be able to visit the Jehangir Art Gallery also. May be next time.
