Easter :My Introduction and Memories 🐰.

(Photo from 2004,Steven uncle ,Gail Aunty,Sibbi uncle ,Saila Aunty and pyaari didi (It's her name) ... two of them from Michigan America) and one charity worker I don't remember the name . )                                              As ,Today is Easter so I decided to write my blog dedicated to my old memories related to my old days of 2004-2008 because these were the times I remember fondly in my mind.During these days I used to be part of all these Christian community festivals on regular basis .                                       I am a Hindu by my birth and I am extremly proud of it .I am extremly happy to born in such great logistic civilization that teach the meaning of religion,but other than my great incredible faith the one faith which is exposed to me straight from my childhood is Christianity . I closely know Christian community as I spent many years of childhood with them .Well ,There is a story behind it ,We used to reside in a building together in which 2 flats were given to two sorts of Christian missionaries one is for our Indian Christians and one is for the foreign missionaries people across the world .So In Due process ,Several people from different countries came for their charity work and used to reside in our building for 6 months each .                                       As, I should say like India introduced to Jesus Christ teaching when one of his apostles established church in kerela in something around 7th century AD and later on so many conquest by portugese ,Dutch ,French and offlate British people happened .Now ,It has strengthened it's roots in our country .There are several churches made by them in Indo gothic blend .Well,Coming to me ,My story of introduction is not less than India introduction to them as Several people across the world and across the India resided in our building during their tenure of charity work .I used to spend so much time with them  ,used to play with them and their kids ,so their kids became my friend ...There were many kids but I remember two of them fondly as I have enough memory with them playing ,eating and studying together ....

(This is a photo from 2002 ,Me in bindi,my sister in her curly hair and Steven sitting on stair while playing ... )                                                          His parents are malayali speaking Christians called Jinsy Aunty and Sibbi uncle ...He would call me chechi maa (didi in malyalam )as I was 1 class senior to him .I remember I used to get irked when he would call me chechi ma because I used to think why he is calling me maa (in Malayalam chechi maa means didi ),then jinsy aunty who knows Hindi as well told me about chechi maa word ,Sibbi uncle couldn't speak Hindi ..he knew malyali and english .

         (  This is a photo from 2005 when they were about to leave for kerela permanently as their mission charity was accomplished ..so one day before their leave we had lunch with them at evening )   In this photo Me in black Frock ,My sister in yellow frock ,Jinsy Aunty with her daughter Phoebe and Sibbi uncle with son Steven ...Photo was taken 2 days after Holi ,as they stayed with us to celebrate Holi with before leaving forever .                                                 Talking about Easter celebartions,They used to celebrate with full zeal and used to call us (kid of the building) for participation in the preparation .So I remember colouring eggs ,baking cake with her (as I am fond of baking rather than cooking ) and yes those yummy snacks fried in coconut oil and Idli dosa as dinner as they hail from kerela so it's very obvious that geographic effect would be actively displayed on food table ,Honestly I love those food and  specially panyaram by jinsi aunty .There are many Christmas celebration memeories I had with them when Sibbi uncle and his friends would turn Santa for us ..keeping gifts in our stockings ..Those were fond days to remember . Apart from that there are several people across world has resided with us some of them I remember is yuri aunty (Indonesia ),Gail aunty and Steven uncle (Michigan,America I kept photo of them above ),Riya Aunty (Germany ),and yes one of my favourite aunty Allen aunty (Switzerland ) .

Here is another photo of Bade nanaji ,Mama ji and Allen Aunty as Aunty cladded herself in salwar kameez gifted by my mummy ... from year 2006 but different day but I remember it was Sunday ..Initially mummy gave her sari but she couldn't manage it properly so lastly salwaar kameez came for rescue  ,An anecdote 2006 .

Here is another photo of me,my sister ,my mom ,Steven taken during windy evening of year 2006 . ..As these ballons were given to us  by Steven uncle from America as he was fond of  ballons and  camera (taking photo randomly with his Fujifilm instant camera).                                             In the end ,I would like to say shared faith and memories are so good to cherish ...The incredible mix of faith ,ideas and races with respect and love is incredibly beautiful .They left but their memories are always cherishing ..I remember because they were genuinely very nice and warm people . I still celebrate Christmas with full enthusiasm as I like to celebrate it That's how my introduction to this faith happen closely and I continue it as I have happy memories attached with me. There are so many photos of some more people are missing here as I have them in my album ,will find and share soon .Till then ,Happy Easter beautiful people .
