Three is a crowd #Barathon2018

“Three is perfect ” Seema had said it with tears in her eyes while Rajiv caressed her as she was brought out of the operation theatre on a stretcher .

Twenty five years ago , Seema took the quick decision of undergoing tubectomy as she just didn’t want any chance of having another baby . Actually doctors had detected their first child Suraj as moderately MR. She decided to focus all her attention taking care of their differently abled son , burrying her and Rajiv’s heartful desire of having a perfect family of four .

The parents strived hard to transform their differently abled son to a perfectly abled son , taking care of his smallest needs or undergoing various kinds of the therapeutic procedures.

Time passed , Life moved on . Seema was left alone as a heart attack took away Rajiv from her life while Suraj’s job plus marriage moved him to another city.

Yesterday only , Seema arrived in the city at his son’s house and today , she overheard him whispering to his wife ” Do something yaar , Three is a crowd ”

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...

Why do I write ?

I have been writing a blog for the last five years and many times people question me why do i write . Well ! I don't have an exact answer . But whenever someone has asked me this question ' Why do you write ?' i have answered in the form of some question only like 'Why do you go shopping ?' or 'Why do you love to go on vacation?' Actually the basic answer is that it feels good . It makes me happy , contented and also a little proud of myself . The feeling when i boasted about being an author is incomparable . May be you don't read me but I keep writing for myself - to reflect on my life experiences and learn from them. Earlier i used to feel depressed when people didn't read me but now it's just between me and my blog . Writing helps me connect to my creative side and helps increase my vocabulary also. Writing provides an escape when reality becomes too complex. I like to write because it allows me to focus on a subject and helps me relieve...
