A scratch from the past

All my life I dreamt of having a twin sister. I always wanted one, even if not twin.

My mom used to say that I wasn't her daughter. I got exchanged with some Sudani/Somali's baby in the hospital because I was dark and hence I always wished meeting my Sudnai mom and my twin sister, which never came true. This beleif was so staunch that people often used to laugh at me.

I spend years thinking of them and finally came out of it and realised that my mom was really my mom and just cause I got burnt/over cooked while being baked in the oven didn't mean I was Sudani/Somali.

I know it was so rude of her to tell me that:( But it's OK now. I know if I have a daughter and she's white, I dont need to tell her that she belongs to some european family:P

:-D Thank God you were at least human! My mama told me it was due to her 3 months efforts at polishing and washing me that allowed me to resemble my Pathan baba and my Irani grandfather otherwise she had thought she had given birth to a premature 'chhipkali'!

Interesting concept of a girly blog! :-) How's things otherwise?

@Sakina: I so wished someone would have claimed me for being the daughter:) !!!
Would have felt more secure:)

@Jaded: Oh really! I thought I was only one:)
