Blessing

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.

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...
