I am Back (Post No.1)

It has been long since I have been here; too much happening in the personal and professional front that I couldn’t keep pace with the world. Last year had been a roller-coaster ride, a literal one. I went through something that changed the course of my life in a big way. My way of living or thoughts is no more the same, as when I was last here. I think it will reflect in my writings too.

This reminds me that to make up for the missing months I come here with a blog marathon, starting today, 30 posts in the next 30 days. Hope it rejuvenates my thoughts and writings. I have never done a blog marathon before, but I want to take this as a challenge. And for a record, I am doing this along with one of my blogger friend. Let’s see if we can accomplish this feat together. Wish me luck!

In this happy mood, see you tomorrow. J

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...

Indebted to You

There was a phase when I was on cloud nine. Nothing could affect me. I was in the highest of my spirits. No matter what happened at my place or my neighbor’s, I was living in my own world. Content with what I had. Happy with whatever was happening. Pondering that nothing can affect this state of mine and wishing it should never change. Yet, it happened. You happened to walk away from me. I had a blank feeling, mixed emotions, was expressionless; don’t know what to name it but my world had shattered. Suddenly I realized that I had nobody to fix my frame of mind. Your perpetual need was missing. The feeling of being deserted was enough for me to give up myself. My world had crashed and slapped on a harder tone that was not easy to handle. I was so much into you that I forgot I was an individual first and then your partner. You left me and I rediscovered myself. You abandoned me and I came to my senses though I never wanted to. I had all the time for myself, my passion, and my urges. ...

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...
