The other day when my only daughter asked me to create a blog I did not know how I could digest the idea. I am sure that my unusual and extra ordinary willingness did surprise her. She knows very well that to propose something to me is a hard nut to crack. She used to put forth her suggestions wtih hesitation tinted with anxiety together with a very brief and simple introduction saying " uppa please dont loose your temper before you listen to what I have to saý". It is true that I loose temper these days for no reason. Has it something to do with my age or is it something ingrained in my blood. On some occasions, she used to add " When Mukhlisa( her eldest brother's fiancee) steps into the threshold of our family, please refraim from scolding me infront of her. Whenever you want to censure me, call me to some other room as if your are going to reward me and say what ever you want to say". After all she is a teacher commading respect from her several students.
What I forgot to tell her is that Mukhlisa has already crept into our family to the extent that once on the occasion of some positive development at home, my wife commented saying" it is due to Mukhlisas luck" . Muklisa is more lucky that she has got a very pleasing, and freindly mother in law who deals with her children as friends needless to mention her other in laws.
All of us are waiting for the day when she can officially join our family. Very often I have wondered how we can convert the marriage into a unique event in terms of simplicity and invitees. After all it is upto the bridegroom to decide how it can be done.
