Memoirs of a Particular Krishna Jarma
The dawn breaks again, the early birds chirp chirp evoking in my heart insurgent nostalgia of my home far away. I know not why I had to wake up at such an odd hour. Observed the bedside watch it reads 4:45 A.M. What girl??? What is wrong ‘go back to sleep!!' (I scolded myself and forced my lazy eyes to close again)) ................... Ehh its gonna be 5 and I still can't re-sleep..................??????????????

Compulsive insomnia for a matter of some few minutes hmmm.  Another 15 minutes movie trailer =======The Memoirs of Krishna Jarma====umm a particular Krishna Jarma though. It was during my fourth standard and I still have fresh memories how me and my sisters plus my dada (my bro) were so excited for the day since the previous night. Well ,as usual I was the most excited among four of us and guess what it was not even 3 AM and I woke up with a start as if it was getting  late to visit ‘Hanuman Thakur mandir' (ehh). I woke up my sisters one by one meanwhile my mumma had already started heating water for us to take bath (so sweet of her naah). Chetha (my elder sister) in a half sleep state scolded me ‘  angang nang nathou leimande'.  I reverted with a ‘who cares' note and got myself ready. 

Umm, by 3:40 everyone was ready and it was time to set forth for the four of us (yippee). Hmm, one exciting incident to follow suit before we finally set off========== I had/ have always been a darling granddaughter for my ‘Bubok' (eben) ==huh I mean my grandma====her usual double tone call for me==="Eshutombi Sanatombi ". I understood the meaning of her call alright and would rush to her ‘Kaangthon" within fraction of a second (yabrane). Guess what! My 'Bubok' always pampered me offering extra pocket money for each and every festive occasion and it was one such occasion (lucky me right?)

Well, ahem back to the particular theme. I refer to this particular ‘Krishna Jarma' as the most memorable one simply because this was one such ‘Janmasthami' after my mumma came back again from her maiden home(mapaam)(after some two and half years stay there) which happened all because of that small read BIG quarrel between my baba and her (uish henmandro?).  I have faint memories of earlier 'Krishna Jarmas' and I either don't have any striking memory of any other Krishna Jarma after this one. I was not aware of the real reason of celebrating this festival except that it was/is Lord Krishna's Happy Birthday (sans any cake ehh). But staying in the vicinity of ‘Shri Govindajee Temple and Hanuman Thaakur Mandir" ,  we never missed the fun and frolic parts  of any festive occasion whether its Kaang or Krishna Jarma or Raas Leela J. Quite rocking right?????

Umm, now as per the timeline I suppose I have to get back to sleep now (literally)====Alright more to come  in next episode of ‘Leichan'.
