Last
week we went to Siliguri, West Bengal. It is our hometown and much needed break
for me and my husband. For last 3 months my mother-in-law and father-in-law is
staying with us in Kolkata. So, it is really very hard for us to find ‘couple
times’ as we both have our work commitments plus household duties. I leave for
office at 9.00 A.M and return home at 8 pm and after that I had to take care of
the household chores, cook for my family and take care of the entire family
including my brother-in-law who works
in TCS and stay with us in Kolkata.
It
was November last year that I met with my parents and visited Siliguri. It was
my inner frustration that exploded on my husband and finally he decided to take
me to Siliguri for a small vacation. I was very happy and finally relaxed to
spend some time with my husband. We book our tickets for last Friday and we
came back to Kolkata on Monday morning. It is an overnight journey from Kolkata
to Siliguri. I was very happy and was like the
top of the world. We shared lots of words with each other and it was a very
soul satisfying for both of us.
Unfortunately,
our journey was late by four hours and we reached Siliguri in the afternoon.
But, that does not matter when you are coming close to your roots, parents and
love. After we reached, we visited our house and then reached my parents house
and finally took rest there. We were lucky to taste the delicious dishes made
by MAA
and all of us speak out our heart to the fullest after so many months. In the
evening, we are all ready to visit my uncle’s house and they were overwhelmed
as it was my first visit with husband after marriage. I and my sister talks a
lot and it seems that the discussions are endless.
After
the visit, my husband and I went to the market for some street shopping in my
Scooty and suddenly there was a hailstorm, wind blowing heavily and it was
raining cats and dogs. We took a shelter in a shop. Due to heavy storms, there
was no electricity and when the rain finally stops, we came back home. We
enjoyed candle light dinner at home and it was little freezing outside.
Overall, the feeling was just awesome after a long time.

After
a long time, I slept in my room and all my childhood memory flashes in front of
eyes. Immediately, I share some of my
sweet little memories with my husband and
most sweetly he listened to each of my words and was taking part in the
communication with interest. Next day, we head out to Sukna in our Scooty, it
is a place near Siliguri. The chill breeze and the hillside river completes our
day and make the trip refreshing like never before.
