Realistic Diary of an Ordinary Girl.

On a warm Sunday morning, Mahua wakes up lazily, her hair still messy, as her mother calls out to her. Not that she was obedient or used to responding to her parents immediately, but that particular morning, Mahua could sense a sense of urgency in her mother's voice. She runs downstairs with hazy eyes, anticipating what might have befallen. Oh no! its the same concern again. She is required to change her time of birth once again so that her astronomical fate runs in sync with the boy's whom her parents are considering as an alliance for their daughter. And Why not! Computer can do anything, make two completely incompatible persons appear to be made for each other! She makes the changes in her biodata as directed by her parents as quickly and with as much disinterest as possible. Come on! its Sunday morning. Full of promises and pleasures. She needs to get her eyebrows trimmed, she needs to arrange the bookshelves, she needs to evaluate answer sheets of her students. and there is that bundle of leisure lying there...Sunday's newspaper. She must prepare her tea and sit down to read it, before anybody else grabs it.
While making her to do list, Mahua thinks of recording her experiences in a diary. Where does she get the idea from? Well, she has just read a cover story on Candace Bushnell, the author of the column Sex and the City and she has read an interview of Moni Mohsin, what an inspiration indeed! While she tries to work it out in her mind as to how to go about writing it, she switches on her laptop and starts typing on her blog. In the middle of the writing, she hears another urgent call from mother. As she rushes downstairs, she meets with an unexpected news. The housemaid is not coming today! A dash of disappointment on a warm Sunday morning! Now, she needs to rewrite her to-do list. Enough of writing, she says, and picks up the duster to dust the doors to turn herself into a Dusterella soon!
