Like every girl has a dream of the fear & experiences of the first wedding night, I too had been awaiting what was in my share. To tell you about myself, I am Mita, the elder of two girls, brought up in very controlled environ of an extremely orthodox landlord father and a very devoted & religious mother. My initial formative years were spent in a village, where the school and the home were next to each other. I was not allowed to mix around with the other village children. My father held a very high position in the village hierarchy and was respected, -- rather feared.

This made me forfeit all the joy of growing up and the small talk with friends that in the end, educates a girl about herself and her body. The only joy that came along was my baby sister, in whose company I grew into a well built girl. As I got my first period, my mother gave me a brief lecture and advised me as to the hygiene. But other than that talk about sex was a taboo.
