Half widow

As they together stepped out of the office , someone pointed “Hey , Our HR manager makes a sweet couple ”

” O ..No…No they are not couple , , Roma Mam is a widow, rather Half Widow ”

“Half Widow ???? What does it mean ?? Who is that man ??Whose hand is she holding ????”

****

Ten years ago

Roma’s husband Rajiv was continually facing failures at work . That day when his bad luck hit him once again in the job interview , it might had become unbearable for him. In the evening , Rajiv went for routine walk but just didn’t come back. Lots of search in different cities & on social media , police complaints , but no clue at all . Rajiv just disappeared from Roma’s life . Is he even alive ? Nobody knows.

****

So many years have passed . People started calling Roma as Half Widow.

Roma had to struggle but she strengthened herself too and reached the position of the HR manager of the company.

Today , Even when she has to say NO to any job interviewee, she makes it a point to bid him bye smilingly and hold his hand convincingly , hoping that no other soul diappears so strangely from anybody’s life .

Linking it with Tina for #fridayfotofiction

Note : I came to know of an upcoming movie to be released in March 2018. The movie is named ‘Half Widow ‘ and it’s about women empowerment. I enjoyed writing for #fridayfotofiction after a long gap , with my mind taking ‘Half widow’ as a prompt.

Zoozoozoo : A journey

Today is Sunday , May 1st 2022 and yesterday i was invited to my daughter's school to witness a small function. My daughter Suhani was born in 2007 and the day clearly flashes in front of my eyes when she got on to the auditorium stage for her first annual function during her LKG class . I had dressed her up in a beautiful purple frock . The auditorium echoed with the sounds of claps as the team LKG stepped on to the stage and took their positions as couples . Their teacher had blushed everyone's cheeks pink and golden. The song started 'Zoozoozoo......we welcome you ......' and the kiddos started twisting their hips and legs holding on to their partners . Awww...it was such an adorable performance that a mother couldn't control her tears . Watching some kids who forgot their dance steps and wanted to just run here and there on the stage was fun too ! Yesterday was the day when she again marched on to the auditorium, this time ...

A letter to my Kitchen

Being a woman i also spend lot of time in my kitchen whether full heartedly , half heartedly or not at all heartedly . But in any case i have to go in my kitchen off and on . Today I feel like writing a letter to my kitchen. Dear Kitchen Hope you are living a fulfilling life with all your jars filled to the brim with wheat , rice , pulses , sugar , tea ,coffee and cookies . I also hope that your sinks are now empty and clean unlike the last month when maid was on leave . Those days ,your sinks used to be piled up with utensils and it stinked so badly . Dear kitchen , it's been around seventeen years that i am taking care of you . Now you are grown up as a teenager and so you should learn to be responsible and maintain your hygiene . It feels good when my family agrees on khichdi and your cooker does the job in just one whistle . But you just don't cooperate when they demand Chole Bhature and you also start giving me tantrums . Remember ho...
