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 ”

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...

Uplift your mood

My evening today was not good . I was doing all domestic chores in a burdened way. I tried watching some movie but it couldn't interest me . One of my colleagues called to intimate me of some upcoming duty. That further pressurized my bad mood . I wore my shoes , put on my headphones and got ready for a walk . After walking for around half an hour and listening to old bollywood , my feet took me towards the splash pool where children were enjoying . I removed my shoes and sat there at the edge of the pool dipping my feet into the water. Watching me , one of my friends also came and sat along . Both of us sat for quite long on the edge of pool - chatting and dabbling our toes in the water. This cooled my mind and uplifted my mood . You need to find your own ways to uplift your mood as and when required . Music , Dance ,Good food , Laughing , shopping ,picnic , playing any sport you like , painting , talking to someone , chanting a man...

I am getting Older day by day

I have stopped spending too much money on clothing or accessories......... I have stopped thinking too much about pleasing others....... I have stopped looking daily into the mirror ....... I have stopped cooking those time consuming delicious meals for my family ...... TV doesn't excite me as much now ....... My fingers can't scroll for long on facebook....... I don't feel like keeping longer nails - file or paint them....... Am i getting older day by day ? Travelling, Cycling or small get-togethers; I love to spend money and time on experiences now...... Only the fitness goals push me to look into the mirror ..... I am able to overlook others' reactions when it comes to listen to my heart. I recently denied a loved one's advice because my heart was unable to accept it..... I cry easily now when i relate to someone's emotions , even watching a movie ...... Am i getting older day by day ? or Am i getting freer day by day ? I wish to be dre...
