I am a girl of 16 years called Neesha Ghosh.Why my father chose 2 write my name with a double 'e' only he can tell you but i like it bacause its unique.i will turn 17 on 6th october.My life is a good one.I have a beautiful mother,Ruma,whom I call the epitome of endurance.I also have a very friendly father.Once I told him,'pappa i have a boyfriend'.He replied,'hmmm'.I was so surprised that I had to ask him to repeat himself.
There's only one secret I have from him.It is about my first love,Prometheus.He is my sister-in-law's youngest brother.
I live in a joint family.My uncle,aunt,grandmother,brother and sister-in-law live with us.I love my neighbourhood,even though i will shift in another six months or so.
My grandfather died when I was just 5 year old.I remember seeing his wrinkled corpse on his bed.His expression was the most relaxed expression I have seen on any human being.Maybe I haven't seen many dead people.I remember that I hadn't understood what my father meant by he had gone to God's place forever.I did not have the mental ability 2 imagine life without him not sitting straight backed against the air watching football or cricket or teaching my brother math.I can say with strong conviction and pride that he was a freedom fighter arrested and sentenced to 3 years of jail for practising satyagraha.Thinking about him after 12 years of his death still gives me goose-flesh.
I say my mother is beautiful.Beauty to me is in no way skin deep.She is a good-looking,well-dressed and a very soft-spoken woman who has worked harder on me than any existing being has.Thus I love her the most.
