JUNE- MAGICAL MONTH

June is the most happening month according to me. It is month which brings family more closer. Everyone seems to be happy for some for something or the other. There is feeling of carefree in each and every human being, (At least I see it in Nagpur) Definitely there has to a reason for me to say  this as Nagpur in considered as burning oven  of Maharashtra.  Barring this heat, it is celebration everywhere. Tiny tots are allowed to sleep for longer hours by super hyper moms. There is no scolding, no looking at the clock and not even so worried if the kid has had her quota of food or not.  There is absolutely no botheration of going to schools. Love from mom and dad is at the peak for these tiny tweets. This is nothing but celebration.(There is no festival  in june but celebration is in full swing.)Slightly older students have got their results. Faired very well in the exams and they are spreading their wings in to know what they really like to do in future.   Hobby classes, summer camps, swimming sessions take care of that aspect. There is celebration again to do some shopping for stationery, accessories and attire to suit the need. There is freshness everywhere. A visit to nearest shopping mall for school uniform, books and shoes follow later in the month but this is mandatory.

It is a pleasant sight to see small group of teenagers cycling in the morning hours. They ride as though the road belongs to them. Such is the level of ecstasy. They ride  all the way to the some fixed destination and laze around till they get a call from home. Sky is the limit to their talks. They fill the atmosphere with so much of love that passer by feels jealous that he/she crossed this beautiful stage too fast.  Never ending giggles, screaming at high decibels, bullying each other and making up for it with an ice gola is nothing but a celebration. Hot samosas and jalebis  from Raju bhiyas’s shop is perfect for breakfast. (This is apart from what they are going to have at home later on) They are in their own world and so natural. This is the best part of their life. This is real celebration according to me.

Entrance exams, results, career options, counseling, right decision are the packages we get to see among 15-18 category  kids. There is a lot of movement. Sometimes parents are after their kids to do what they feel is the best and councilors just feel the opposite is right for the kid .Carefree birds of yester years are asked to choose between two or three options. There is much of chaos, confusion and waiting period. Everything is in the house is kept on hold till the kids get fitted at the right place of the jigsaws puzzle of life.  There is a big sigh of relief and the celebration begins in full swing. Visit to temples, family parties, booking brand new two wheelers and so on. New school/college, new friends, new places at times and a feeling of Yeh! I did it! make it more of a celebration than mundane jobs. There is so much excitement and so much is happening that it is no less than a wedding celebration. Long distance call on advisory board,( uncles, aunts and friends)finding a local guardian for the loving kid, advises by one and all, dos and don’ts  (totally free)keep pouring in like never before. In such situations, even Silence becomes a part of celebration.  Bonding gets stronger between family members. Shopping is done as per the list from college and keeping in view the weather of that place. Every item is carefully selected so that kid feels at home even after going to that far off destination!! Money takes a back seat (after fulfilling basic requirements) and emotions play havoc. It is time for the kids to leave the nest. Moms get busy in the kitchen trying to make all possible dishes for the STAR. They sob silently and spend sleepless nights. All of a sudden dads come home early than usual time just to spend few precious moments with kids. Siblings are ready to share anything with elder ones.( Previously, battles were fought if younger one touched even the pillow elder sis.)

This is a true celebration according to me as there is discovery of real self and real family. There is so much of love, innocence, respect and happiness everywhere. June can be coined as a month of celebration!!!
