Hi Frienz! Lets know something about Ashi’s parents. The story goes back to the time when Ashi’s parents were unmarried. I’m telling the story of their marriage because that’s also an interesting episode of their lives.
Ashi’s father is Inder Sharma whom we know as Mr. Sharma. Inder is born and brought up in Delhi. He has completed M.Com from Delhi University and planning to do PhD. He is 25 yrs., tall, handsome, decent and ambitious man who is interested in his studies and career only. His family constitutes of parents, five brothers and two sisters including him. His two elder brothers and sisters are married. One day he comes to know that his father has fixed his marriage with a girl who belongs to a very rich family. Friends this happened around 40 years ago when mostly arranged marriages used to take place and parents din’t bother to ask for the consent of the girls and guys. So. Inder din’t see his would be bride but as usual he was very happy and was dreaming of his life partner. Finally, the day arrived and he saw his bride.
Oh God! What is This?
It seemed the roof fell on his head and he was about to faint.
Heavily clad in bridal dress and jewellery was not a girl but a woman, dark, fat, ugly and around 12-13 years older than him. He got up in lightning speed and was about to flee when his father caught hold of him and forced him to sit again. Inder’s dad was a terror, as most of the fathers are for their sons, and the whole household was under his control only. Reluctantly, he married Damayanti (that was the bride’s name) but fled to Chandigarh the same night. Everybody in his family was shocked and his brothers were looking for him. After a week he was found in one of his friend’s house and was brought back to home. First time in life he opened his mouth in front of his dad and told him that he wont accept that woman as his wife.

Frenz! As per your requests let me tell u sumthing about Ashi’s hobbies and other qualities.
Ashi has two passions in her life i.e. reading and dance. She is an avid book lover n loves reading story books and fairy tales. Sharmaji also have the same penchant for reading all types of books and literature. He is a Ph.D and wants ashi to be highly educated also. In this young age ashi has a huge collection of comics and storybooks.
When ashi was 6 years old, Mr. sharma took everyone, along with some family friends, to a five star hotel to celebrate New Years Eve on 31st Dec. lots of events were happening there including a dance competition. When the dance competition started and hosts asked the guests to participate, then suddenly ashi started jumping on her seat on hearing the music. She asked her mom whether she can go to the floor and participate. Shocked, as her mom never saw her dance, she took her to the floor. Ashi was the youngest kid on the dance floor, music started and everyone looked in awe. the small wonder set the stage on fire, dancing rhythmically on every beat like a professional dancer. All friends n relatives including ashi’s parents were spellbound. Amidst all the cheers, shouts and claps, she made to the final round and finally got the third prize. It felt like dream for ashi n her parents and everyone appreciated her like anything. They were surprised to know that she haven’t learnt dance before, then how she can perform like that. Actually singing and dance comes naturally to Ashi, these are her inborn talents.
Seeing Ashi’s interest, Mr. Sharma got both the sisters admitted in a dance institute where they started learning Kathak. Ashi and Rup also started learning swimming and horse riding but cudn’t continue with it. Ashi’s dad took them to Victoria Maidan for horse-riding lessons on weekends. Oneday when ashi was learning, she requested her trainer to let her ride alone for sumtime. First he denied but when she kept insisting he got down and explained her how to hold the saddle rope. Ashi was riding on her own in slow speed when two guys walked past from behind the horse. If sumone walks behind the horse, it gets annoyed and becomes out of control. When these guys did the same thing, the horse became out of control, hit the guys with his hind legs and started jumping and shaking badly trying to throw ashi off his back. Trainer was trying to control the horse and poor ashi was terrified and was clinging to the horse with all her strength but all in vain. Little ashi fell down, got hurt and started crying badly. Her dad was watching all this from a distance, he came running and took her in his arms and went to show her to the doctor. Though she was not hurt badly, she was terrified like anything. Thereafter Sharmaji decided that they will not continue horse riding.
Similar incident occurred during the swimming classes. The trainer was teaching some new students who were little far from ashi n rup. Both the sisters were swimming with the help of tubes. Ashi went out of the pool and dived into water but as she dived she went under the water and the tube came out of her since it was big for her. By the time she managed to come up, the tube was out of her reach and she started drowning. Rup was too young to understand or do anything but she sensed sumthin was wrong and started wailing loudly. Ashi was throwing her limbs badly but was not able to balance herself. Attracted by rup’s cries, the trainer was swimming towards them but he was a bit far from them. Ashi was struggling under water when suddenly she caught hold of sumthing. It was the water pipe, she hold it firmly and managed to steady herself and come up. Then the trainer helped her out. Hearing this ashi’s dad was very annoyed with the trainer and again decided not to send his daughters for the classes. Ashi’s mom tried to explain Mr. Sharma that such incidents happen while learning sumthing but he dint agree to it.
So. What do u think Frenz? Caring father was doing much harm or Strict mom?

Beautiful Story continues......
Ashi is studying hard for her final exams as she wants to be ranked 1st this year also. her only competitor is her classmate Devlina. there is always a difference of 4-5 marks in their papers, so the competition was tough. Ashi's dad has appointed 2 tutors for both the sisters, Miss Lee and Miss Reva, so that they don't face any problem in their studies. since few months Reva miss is noticing that ashi cudn't study for long hours due to sum problem in her eyes. she cant look at the light even for long and keeps the books close to her eyes while readin. reva miss mentioned this to ashi's mother several times but she didn't pay much attention. but the problem in ashi's eyes persisted and now she faces problem in seeing the board in class also. now her mom also started noticing and finally told her dad. her dad took her to an eye specialist. he checked her eyes and said she is havin bad eyesight and needs to wear glasses. an 8-year old kid wearin specs was not very acceptable to her dad, he asked whether there is any other option. doctor said that he has brought her too late and her eye sight has been partially damaged, so she needs to wear specs or contact lenses. her dad was shocked to know that she was havin a power of (-4) and she was too young to be operated or wear contacts. after a week the -4 glasses became an eminent part of her life and with that came the title of "chasmish".
Today is the Results Day at school. Ashi is very happy as her mom has promised an elaborate lunch for her if she gets the 1st rank ane she was confident she wud surely get. all the students were waiting anxiously for the Headmistress to arrive and announce the results. at last she arrived after a long wait. she started giving a small speech which the students heard impatiently.
"And now i'm going to announce the name of the student who got the 1st place. let me tell u there is a difference of only 3 marks between the totals of the 1st and 2nd student but as u know sumone has to be the winner. so the name of the 1st girl is....."
Ashi is about to stand up to take the report card from Mam.
".....Devlina Biswas."
wat did i hear? mam has gone crazy or wat? no, no, she must have made sum mistake, she'll rectify it now.
devlina stood and received her report card. everyone clapped loudly.
"2nd is Anshika Sharma."
nobody gets up.
"Anshika come here."
ashi sits like a statue.
her class teacher hurriedly come forward and almost drags her to the headmistress. she receives her report card half heartedly and goes back to her seat. other names were announced but she heard nothin and stared blankly at the board. mansi hold her hand to console her but she din't look at her.
Ashi reached home reluctantly as she was too afraid to face her mom. she wished her father was at home but she knew he wudn't be. Terrified, she handed her report card to her mom and all hell broke lose. her mom gave her a piece of her mind followed by a good beating and finally locked her in a room which opened only when her father returned. after hearing everythin from ashi he wanted to confront her mom but ashi stopped him and said if he told her anythin, again she wud be after her life when he'll not be at home. on hearin this tears came into his eyes. both of them wept badly for sumtime before he realized ashi has been hungry for long. when he took her to the dining he saw rupika was also crying in her mom. the poor girl has witnessed what her sister has gone through and terrified, she was weeping the whole day. she even refused to eat without her "didi" and finally got a tight slap from her mom when all attempts failed. Sharmaji was amazed to see such determination and love for her sister at such a young age. he became proud to be the father of daughters like them. if only their mom could realize she has got two precious gems. will she ever?
