Life's U-turn...

-

So after a long hiatus, I’m back to the world of blogging! So much has changed since the last time I posted on my blog. It would not be incorrect if I say that my life has practically changed in these past few months. It’s as if life has abruptly changed the course of direction it was going on till now. Rather, taken a U-turn to a road so well-known that I can travel the distance with closed eyes. Or so I thought! So much has changed during the time I was busy traveling distant lands and exploring other paths. Moreover, with time even I’ve changed in some ways. So what I thought was familiar now strangely feels strange in many ways. Although, it was a long-planned ‘U-turn’, I didn’t anticipate the changes, adjustments and repercussions it would bring along with it. Consequently, it was a struggle to continue on the same road initially, more often than not fighting the irresistible urge to go back to the road we were on. Though, now gradually things are settling down and the ride is getting less bumpy (at least for now!) and I’m getting acquainted with my new life on this new path. And most importantly, we are finally amidst our FAMILY! Which is the sole reason for choosing this path, giving us the much needed strength to keep going on our chosen way, making our decision firmer and keeping our faith alive that it wasn’t a blunder to opt for this path at all!

Mamma, Can I skip school.. like forever? :D

The past few weeks have been the most challenging and toughest weeks as a mother. The most dreaded day in the life of any parent, arrived. The first day at school. Yes! My little baby who is no more a baby, officially, started playschool last month. Okay, now first of all let me clarify this, which I seem to be doing a lot of since I put her in school, before you jump on to any conclusions. It is NOT a school it is just a PLAY school and no they don’t teach her Abc’s or 123’s as everyone assumes. It is more of a platform for her to interact with kids her own age, to explore new and different activities, to develop and instill in her the power of imagination and creativity, to feel the goodness and develop self-confidence and above all to have a good time whilst channelizing her abundant energy to something positive and constructive for a couple of hours a day! If doing this makes me a ruthless mom, then so be it. Whoa! Playing defensive, are we? I have never been a defensive ...

Please don't judge her..

The day I was born, my entire family rejoiced except my mom. But please don’t judge her since she was in pain, weak and fighting to survive just to bring me safely in to this world. When I cried in the middle of the night she woke up and spent endless nights with me, comforting me and rocking me back to sleep. But there were times when she didn’t. Please don’t judge her for that since she was tired and sleep deprived for making sure I slept peacefully. She left me in the hands of my grandmother/nanny when I turned three months, but please don’t judge her for that since she needed to get back to work and struggled to retain her identity at the same time fighting her inner conscience which was ridden with guilt for leaving me. It was harder for her than it was for me, trust me. When I was a toddler, my mom went for a holiday with my dad. Without me. But please don’t judge her for that as she needed to spend some time with him as well, alone. I indeed am the center of her existe...

A plea for help.. !

Dear You. Yes you who are reading this. Don't look so puzzled. I know you are wondering why am I addressing this letter to you of all people. Well, because I know that you will listen to what I have to say and help me. Or will at least give a thought about it. Who am I? And why do I need your help? Well, I am just one of you. Or you can say in everyone of you. It's how you perceive me. I am around since years but I die a premature death every year by each one of you to be born again next year. Every year you promise to take care of me, nurture me, hold on to me and pamper me. Instead, you end up neglecting me, avoiding me, make fun of me and eventually forgetting me and letting me slide beneath your fingers like dry sand. None of you have lived upto your promise till now and I'm utterly dissappointed in you after giving you so many chances to prove yourself. I understand I dont play an important role in your life as much as other factors but what bothers me is the fact t...
