Chapter 5: Ador
In the hills of Darjeeling, famous for its tea plantations and tourism lived Ador. Ador was a petite, young girl, who just finished her engineering examinations and was waiting for her results. The family of four, Kir, Ita, and their daughters Ador and Unma, lived happily in Salt Hill, a small plateau, in a wooden house, which was standing for more than 100 years, built during the British rule.
Unma, was the chatterbox in the family. Always interested in the ways of the world and the most trustworthy friend. She was just and kept up to her promises. A perfect soulmate for Ador , who was the shy one in the family.
Ador loved writing poems in the woods, silently , or either singing and dancing, all by herself, totally an introvert, who used to shy away from people. Studying in Loreto Convent known for raising perfect women for the Indian society, she grew up to be demure. She was no beauty, but had lovely, thick hair that reached up to her knees, like any typical Indian girl. The only quality that made her stand alone from the crowd was that she used to follow what the elders said. Though she had a mind of her own, she relied on the elders and their decisions, cause the elders had more knowledge about the ways of the world, she trusted her elders full-fledgedly.
Kir and Ita were both from education background. Kir was a professor, then of a B. Ed college( now he is retired) and Ita was the Principal of a military school,(took voluntary retirement later) at the Ghoom campus, Jalapahar cantonment area, which was higher up in altitude in comparison to Darjeeling, the Queen of hills.
The family of four lived happily, relishing small joys of life, being together in troubled times, come what difficult a task. Kir always taught his daughters that behind every dark cloud there is a silver lining and one should not lose hope. God sees all and tries to answer our prayers, to have faith in the Almighty and move on with life, as faith can move mountains.
Ita, pampered her daughters to the extreme, she never allowed them to enter the kitchen or clean the laundry. Studies and having fun was what the girls knew they had to do only, in their growing up years.
People in the hills are different both in temperament and culture and mannerisms / etiquette, in comparison to people of the plains of India, who are more tough, loud mouthed, harsh and on the meaner side. Though the traits vary from family to family, all depending upon the upbringing of the next generation.
