Today, we finally decided to pack the trousseau of our daughter Nidhi's marriage. A collection of clothes that we had been acquiring for so many days, but somehow the final packing was all the time postponed as something or the other needed to be taken care of. But today being the last day to pack the things, the task copuld not be further postponed. Looking back and reflecting upon the fact that why we waited for such a long time to do the job could be one half of us telling us that this is final closing down of her relationship with us. Perhaps we dreaded the final packing up of her trousseau as watching all the colourful clothes spread around in all the rooms gave us the feeling of her being present everywhere in the home and putting them all in a suitcase would have given us a feeling of closing up a part of us!
Why is so that the girls of the home are to be sent to a different home that becomes their own?
You may go my dear but your fragrance has permeated the very essence of our being and it will remain with us through out!
