Days gone by...

Ever since the theft... everyone in the family has been trying to cope... we all have our own ways of doing so. But I'd really like to thank all my friends who read the blog and offered their support :)

Thank you!

murphy's law...

This holiday weekend my parents decided to go to Mumbai for a short trip. I was to go too. But for some end moment official commitments I had to drop out. So I was home alone and responsible for the house. The first night I spent by myself and on the second night a friend came over. The next day I decided to go over to a friend's place for the night. I had informed my dad of the plan the previous day and it so happened that he din't exactly register what I was saying.

So anyways, I left home on Saturday afternoon and came back on Sunday evening. I called up my parents to find out where they were (they drove down to mumbai...). They were roughly about two hours away from home. Anyways I fished out my keys and entered the house. What I did not realize was the fact that the moment I put in the keys, the lock gave away. I entered the passage and decided to head upstairs in order to clean up my parents room before making dinner for them. As I walked upstairs I saw wood and metal on the floor.... And it dawned upon me that something had gone horribly wrong...

Someone broke into our house while I was not around... broke open a steel almirah and then found keys to the other almirah... opened up my mom's locker and took away all the gold my mom ever owned along with some cash... the damage was apparent... he dint leave my room and my bro's room either... the person(s) threw all our stuff onto the floor... He took every little box I had and emptied it out...

The mess he made was incredible... apart from stealing our posessions... what the person also stole was our sense of comfort and security. I have heard of burglaries, and I know they leave you hurt and confused, what I did not know was that it would leave me with seething anger... so much so that if I find the person I am ready to physically beat the crap out of him/them.

I cant help but go over the whole event over and over again, I wish I had called my parents and told them once more that I was not spending the night at home... I wish I had put in the other lock... (especially considering the fact that, the whole of saturday afternoon the thought of not putting the second lock had been nagging me!) I know I am to blame entirely for this fiasco... I cannot believe that my stupidity cost my mom all her jewellery... the jewellery she has collected with care over the last 20 years.... Not something you want to have hanging over your head!

Sleep is almost impossible... everytime I enter my room I almost choke with the knowledge of my negligence. Had I informed my parents, they would have made sure that I put all the important stuff in a safer place and then even when the BASTARDS walked in my house they wouldnt have got hold of anything...
