The Life of My Grandmother When She Was a Young Girl

We always love to hear stories from our grandmother. Now let’s hear stories of our grandmother when she was young like us. What a life she must have had. Now we will take you into the world of our grandmother in her childhood.

My grandmother’s name is Somidevi. She was very sweet and naughty in her childhood. Once she was wondering, what are my age girls doing? Let’s go and see," she went to see all the girls studying and going to school. She asked her mother why these girls were studying, and her mom told her that they wanted to become something useful in their lives. She said that I want to also become something in life. Her mom asked what you want to do in your life, and she said I like to stitch clothes, so I want to become a tailor in my life. She said I would also go to school and college and learn about sewing. Her mom said ok, you can go to school, but you should go to school every day, and then only you can learn stitching. She said ok, then every day she went to school, and after coming back, she had the hobby of stitching clothes. She did that, and then asked her father, Can I go to college? Dad, I want to become a tailor. For that, I want to go to college. Her father says, "Okay, but more you should learn household chores. Also, she says, "Okay, dad, I will learn all the things she does. Diploma in Tailoring: She gains a certificate and experience in tailoring. I learned something great today, then went to college, and she finished her diploma in tailoring, and she is very happy now. Near her house there were many tailor shops, so she went there and asked for jobs. They said ok, but you should do your work faster. Then she started her tailoring job and also earned some money. Other tailors said you are doing great work, and your stitching is very nice. Then in their shop, every day some customers give them orders and tell them to complete the orders. She completes the orders and also gives them on time. Every day after coming back from work, she also learned all the household chores, and in that, she was very perfect and tidy.

She earned a lot of money, then decided to open her own shop, and she started her own business. She took help from all the tailors, and now she had lots of customers in her own shops. She was also very happy with her work and job. She could enjoy her life on her own. Once her father called her and asked my grandmother what her thoughts about marriage were, she said, no, dad, I want to focus on my job now, no marriage so early, and I will tell you afterwards if I have any thoughts in my mind. My grandmother’s parents were very sweet, and they supported her dreams, and she used to get whatever she wanted. But once only she started crying loudly, her father came from the market. What happened? Why are you crying? She said I asked you to bring sweets for me. You said you would, but you did not bring them. Her father said today I brought a favourite sweet for my daughter as she has done good work and also now, she has grown up.

I love you, dad, really. You are great, but her mother was a teacher who was a little bit disciplined in all things in life. She said to her, this is not correct because you always ask your dad something, and he does not say no to you. Don’t cry next time. I don’t like it because now you are doing your job. Her mom tells her father that you should also scold her; otherwise, she will not listen to you and me. From that day on, my grandmother understood, and she always listened to her mother. Also, her mom loved her, but sometimes she was strict, but her father was not so strict. She always brought her whatever she wanted, and once her mom also brought her something, she was so happy, but she asked her mom why you are so strict with me. Her mom said that when I see you, I should feel that you are well behaved and disciplined already. Your father is there to support you, and moms are always like that; they should be supportive and strict, and then only children listen to them every day. She went to her shop to earn money for her family and made her parents proud. One day some friends from college visit her home and ask her mom if she can go out with us, please. We are just going to eat vadapav and drink tea. My grandmother always liked to make friends and spend time with them. Her mom said ok but come home soon. My grandmother enjoyed a lot with her friends. Her friends also said that we are proud of you that you are a tailor and started your own business. We are looking into jobs. My grandmother told them to always do jobs in the field in which you are interested.

The family lived happily ever after.
