What’s the big deal with Diya going to Darjeeling? Anybody can go to or goes to Darjeeling. But Diya is our only daughter, the apple of our eyes, who just turned four on 8th March last month.
Diya decided this morning to accompany her maternal grandmother tomorrow to Siliguri and Darjeeling. We, I mean her parents are not accompanying her. This is the first time we are letting Diya travel on her own with her grandmother… without us.
Diya sounds confident and excited that she is going to Siliguri and she will be picked up by either Aja (my father) or her Badi (my sister-in-law) from Siliguri to go to Darjeeling. She wants to go to Darjeeling and ride the toy train and go for the pony ride in Chawrasta. She also wants to play with my toys which my parents (Diya’s paternal grandparents) have still kept safe to be inherited by Diya.
I am sure Diya will thoroughly enjoy her this maiden trip to Darjeeling without us, though she is just four. Though it will be a very short trip she will enjoy it. And we (parents) decided to let her go with her grandmother as she wishes to do so and are confident that she can take care of herself to some extent and she has GROWN!
Though it will be difficult for us parents, but Diya also needs the space of her own and we too. We look forward to going with her to Darjeeling later this year in October during Dassai.
Love, Baba and Mummy.
