A Woman in the Making

Diwali 2018 didn't start the way I had anticipated. Not much of expectations. Not many preparations. But it ended on a satisfactory note. So, it all started on October 1st when I had a fall at home, which turned out to be quite tedious. It's been more than a month now and I am still limping. It definitely demands a separate post (which will soon come up.) So, it didn't allow me to be in the best of spirits to enjoy the festival of lights. However, I managed to clean up and organize home a bit and delegated most part of the work to my two obedient listeners (B and M) at home who were kind enough to oblige. Being married into a Tam-Brahm household, I wasn't so appreciative of the fact that kind-souls gifted me a blouse-piece to mark my every visit or any function-attendance. But, trust me it comes handy during these times when I can't go out shopping. I had an orange saree lying from one such instance. Me being a saree-blouse lover tried sprucing things a bit...

Every night I may argue over the bed-space But when I wake up beside you, I feel – blessed Every day when you make that cup of tea No matter how tired you are or in a hurry, I feel – blessed Every time you appear after a frantic call from me However busy or occupied you are, I feel – blessed Every weekend when you take up tasks Be it household or for us, I feel – blessed Every time life happens to me Full of joy or sadness, or even if nothing, I feel - blessed Every day I may not tell you Every moment I may not think about you But on special days such as today I definitely want you to know that I feel – BLESSED Thank you for being there and walking this road with me.
