Hina's Daily Diary - Episode 1

Hina's daily diary:

Hello kem cho my beautiful people. Welcome to Hina's daily dairy. What exactly is a daily dairy? Just like you see daily vlogs on YouTube I am going to share my life with you dear Reader, daily by writing about me and my life in a diary. So, this diary is not just for me but for the entire world to read. I am Hina Patel a resident of a small town called Morbi in Gujarat, a housewife, an aspiring actress, mother of a lazy son, wife of a boring husband, mother-in-law to an over smart daughter in law and grandmother to a cutest boy. Welcome to my mad world.

So today morning I woke up to very loud zooming sound of a truck. I immediately woke up my husband Jagdish, but he refused to listen to me. "Sova de yaar." ( Let me sleep)

"Why? Is Aishwarya rai going to come in your dreams?"

"Will you allow her to come into my dreams. Even Aishwarya Rai knows there is a bodyguard here."

"So if given a chance you would want her to come in your dreams and entertain you."

Jagdish did not bother to reply me and went back to sleep. I also got little surprised at my question. I mean which man in this world will not want Aishwarya Rai to entertain them in their dreams.

" I went outside to check, peeped out of our living room window and I saw a truck parked on the street at the doorstep of our neighbor opposite to our home. The truck was loaded with furniture and carton boxes. Just came in a taxi and I saw a lady coming out of the taxi dressed in very fashionable style sari. Along with the lady I also saw 2 young girls. It looked like to me that either this house has been sold or been rented. This house on the street was closed from last many years. An old lady used to live in this house alone. Her only son was living somewhere abroad. After her death one of her relative locked the house and it was just lying vacant all this while. Now suddenly I see people here moving in this house. Who are they? My mind was curious. Are they old woman's son and family, or has the son rented out this home to these people. If something new happens in our locality I must know. It's my birthright you see. Before my daughter in law Sheetal gets the first mover advantage, I had to find out who exactly are these people? So, after finishing the morning rituals I got dressed in a nice floral yellow organza sari and packed some theplas. The lady who just came in looked very stylish and fashionable, so I also tried to up my sari game a little bit. I reached their home, and that lady opened the door.

"Jai Shree Krishna, I Mrs hina Patel. I am your neighbour. Welcome to our society. Here are some theplas for you and your family. I saw you all coming in the morning thought kitchen, and all will take time to start. So, these theplas will be good for breakfast. If you need anything, please do let me know ok. I just live samne."

The lady started laughing a lot. "You are a very sweet guju woman. Are all Gujaratis so sweet and funny?"

"So, tame you are not Gujaratis."

"My husband is a gujarati and I am a Bengali. Very nice meeting you Hina ben. And Thanks very much for the theplas."

I really liked the warm response of the lady and as I was about to ask her name, I heard a dog barking in the house. I was not expecting a dog inside otherwise I won't have dared to go as I am quite scared of them, the lady started calling out the dog and the dog ran fast towards the door. Dog ran towards me, and I got scared for my life, so I ran out on the street. The dog had become very aggressive seeing me and here I was running around fearfully in my yellow sari out in the neighborhood. The lady was also trying to stop the dog, but the dog was not listening to her at all. I shouted for my husband Jagiya , Oh Jagiya. Sheetal, my daughter in law came out. And she bursted into laughter. I got angrier. "Sheetal moi do something. If this dog bites me today, then you will have to do all the housework alone for so many days." Listening to this Sheetal went inside to wake her father-in-law. Jagdish came out and joined the race to save Hina. But he too could not do much. " Aa doggie is not listening at all. I think let him bite you once. Let him also fulfill his wish." I shouted for more help. " Jagiya help". The new lady on the street was also still trying to stop the dog but nothing could calm the dog down. I heard Jagiya telling Sheetal vav "This dog is not even listening to his owner. Aa hina always gets into all weird troubles." Then Jagdish thought of an idea. "Hina I am opening the door of our home you quickly run here, and we will close the door." I hopped, screamed, and ran as fast I could. Jagdish pulled me inside and closed the door. I was breathing heavily escaped to my home and dog was barking outside standing. Jagdish always wants to become a dodha (Over-smart) "Behenji please take care of your dog. There are many children in this society. It can be dangerous." And a man arrived on the scooter. He was the lady's husband. He called out the dog and finally dog calmed down. I came back to my room and rested for a while. Jagdish was very furious at me because he felt there was no need for me to go to the new neighbors home so soon. I told him "I had gone just to help." But jagdish was just not ready to believe. " panchat. You wanted to know who exactly these people are that's why you went. We have been married for more than 30 years I know you very well Hina."

And that was my early morning. A dramatic but a fit morning. What is wrong to be curious about who is coming and who is going out from your neighborhood. After all man is a social animal. We all need social interactions to add some flavor to our life. Jagdish I tell you all has always been very boring. He thinks I do everything for panchant and gossip. And what he does is always for all the right reasons. Anyways let Jagdish say whatever he wishes, and I shall again come to you all tomorrow to share my life incidents. Till then Jai Shree Krishna. And do some running in the morning just like me.
