Dear Diary,
Hola! I am fat ! That's what people acknowledge me as rather
than remembering what my denomination is. Whenever I plan a walk out of my
home, I find stares and giggles accede me. If someone is bold enough, he would
scream to the top of his lungs,"Aieee
Moti." But this is just one instance.
I am dignified to have
the skill of observing people from far off and give a hundred percent accurate
result of what are they thinking or talking. While driving, secretively, behind
the shades I can see people chit chatting and then suddenly chalk talk about
me, rather mock at my obesity. It seems to be a game for them, while they
Chinese whisper and everyone looks back turn wise and chuckle. They have no
idea that I am thinking differently. I am wondering, how lucky I am to have
been a cause of those smile on their faces.
When guests arrive home, my father makes it a point to have a healthy debate on my weight though both the parties being against the motion. Mom and sister are facedly diplomatic in such situations for they have many other things to notice than my increasing pounds of weight. Dad would tell me how insulting he feels when some relatives suggest him ways to reduce my weight. A genuine question bumped my head then. Was my father's respect in society more important than the love he had for me ?

My friends, Ahh ! Even
the thought of them draws a happy grin on my face. Family they are now. This
self made family of mine considers itself proud of even sharing a public stroll
with me. This understanding factor is too high than that of my by-default
family. May be because my buddies are too busy loving me than look at my flaws.
For now this is the scenario, they too might undergo the same trauma as my
parents in near future.
This is their side of
story....
