My opinion about Life

I have heard people say that life teaches the best lessons. I was way too young to understand it a few years back. But life has certainly taught me a lot and contributed much to my personality today. This blog is dedicated to all those who made a difference in my attitude and summed up my life. Cheers to all of you :)

How I Began Driving a Car (Post No.2)

Image
There are too many things that we complicate in our lives. I feel there are ways in which we can reduce our burden. However, we don’t do so. One among them is car driving. I had been riding my bike past 12 years and I was more than happy with that. Driving a four-wheeler was not on my priority list till about last year when I suffered severe back ache. I tried learning to drive before. However, I gave up after I hit a tender coconut stall early in the morning (The damage wasn’t that bad, though.) After I felt I have become wise with age and time, I again started my quest to learn driving. I started my practice sessions with ‘Me’ again. This time mid-afternoon. The Accelerator, Brake and Clutch (ABCs) mechanism of the car along with the six gear options were as hard to comprehend as the chemical formulas in the higher secondary. Every time I had to change gears (as reminded by ‘Me’) I couldn’t recall the last gear used. Hence, concentrating all the time on the gear box than on...

My Wait for YOU

I was in love and you wanted to live with me right then. I too longed for you. Wanted to give you all the love. I always wanted a loving family with all the necessary relationships: loving husband, doting kids, understanding in-laws, above all, companionship. I could foresee all this happening if I got married to you. And finally, we married. There was no one around but I was crowded with you besides me. You smiled as soon as we got wedded. That was enough for me to keep going. Days passed. Months passed. Years passed…… Love too passed. Too many things crawled in. Endless shuddering stares, numerous silences, difficult nights. We were together without togetherness. I could make a list of endless missings in our lives: love, care, affection, passion. There was nothing common between us except kids and living under the same roof, for limited hours. I got a new look done, changed my wardrobe, cooked your favourite dishes, watched your kind of movies. But you were oblivious of me. I was...

Confessions of an Abused

It was 24 April 2003 and 28 Dec 2010 when I left my home forever twice. I do not know what I was thinking but I knew in my heart of hearts that it is the right thing to do for me. And till today – 09 October 2021 – I wrote several diary entries about my life. I wrote when I was happy. I wrote when I was feeling low. I wrote when life sprung memories of my life with my family members. I wrote after I cried, after an emotionally draining day. I wrote about my love for you. My parents. My kids. My birthing experience. My divorce. My confessions of love. My pain. My joys. My loss. And every time I wrote, it was about me and my perception of the emotions. I just realized that I never ever wrote about the various forms of abuse I went through. It was physical and emotional – both. I think it scarred me so much that I never wrote about it. I spoke to my friends at times. I remember speaking about it to random acquaintances too. I told my then boyfriend-now husband too. But I know I ha...
