Be quick, Tanisha at once awaken by her Mom's voice. I may be late for my office meeting. Without a single gesture, she sat in the car, tied her seatbelt. The car started running with few jerks, as her Mom was driving fast. Oh God ! Please help, Tanisha was praying for traffic congestion. So that she could be able to glance in the showcase of a jewellery shop where a beautiful pair of silver anklets were teasing her.
Today she gathered courage and asked her Mom,Mom I love those pair of anklets, please purchase it for me. Mom suddenly started laughing, why anklets? and moreover teenagers don't wear it. "Ok Mom, l won't pressurise you to purchase, but tell me when will I be able to wear it?" questioned Tanisha. To get herself relieved from further set of curiosities, Mom simply told, " Tanisha. My sweetheart," at the time of marriage your sweetheart i.e. your husband will be gifting you. Till then keep patience . This time Tanisha was sincere and she started counting years, months and days. She started dreaming: she will be the queen of her house, a beloved to her husband, a sister in law, daughter in law, a bhabhi, a chachi, a mami for some, moving in the house, legs decorated with anklets and a melodious music of "Cham Cham" Moreover the best part of it will be that she will never asked to remove from her ankle. Because wearing anklet is a sign of a married woman. Finally her wedding day arrived, after performing every rituals she was presented an attractive pair of anklets by her husband. Without wasting a single moment she opened it and wear it. The first day of Tahisha's life started with those glamarous anklets. Everyone loved to watch her while walking. The household members started recognising the sound of small ghoongroos in her anklets. Times have changed. Now Tanisha crossed 50, almost all ladies have stopped wearing silver anklets.
