Maya entered to Ragini’s room.

“What a mess your room is?” Shouted a frustrated mother. While cleaning, she found a glass bottle with many colorful papers inside. Maya was curious and she opened it. Ragini wrote all her dreams in those small papers.

Next moment, a mother’s heart cried out loud inside and an unknown fear shivered her. Her daughter is dying each day and how hard it is for a mother to see her daughter’s unfulfilled dreams. It’s God’s unkindness.

Doctor gave 2 months time and no chance for 12-years old Ragini to survive the dreadful disease.

It’s CANCER!

I was lost in my thoughts

When, he came with a Flower

Kneel down in front me

Expressed his love and affection towards me

I purr…

Got up from the chair and ignore him

And, just walk away thinking

How cruel and nasty this boy is!

When he cannot love the beauty of a flower on a tree

How can he love me?

“Today I will make sure that I throw away all his memories from my world”, Rima said

“What are you saying? Are you serious?” Payel remarked.

“Yes, I am, and I do not want his memories to haunt me anymore”. Rima confirmed

From past few days, Rima was upset because Sunny, her boyfriend was involved with another girl and she caught him red-handed. The incident left her broken, but did not break her confidence.

She packed her bags and head out for Ladakh, a solo trip, to taste the freedom of life and explore a “New Me” with more energy.

Jai Hind….

Yes, today is the official day when we got our Independence, the end of British Raj from India. Since my childhood days, this day was marked as a patriotic day at home and even in my school and college with always something different idea.

Each Indian family love to celebrate this day in their special way. But, actual Independence lies in our thoughts. The day always starts with Flag Hosting, Sing on the tune of National Anthem and the entire family watch Prime Minister’s speech on DD National followed by the cultural programmes

It is Saturday and my weekends are really busy to take care of laundry, special breakfast followed by lunch and look into the other household chores properly.  But, my Independence Day started with a little twist. The Man of the House took the charge of everything and My Cup of Tea was already waiting for me before I woke up from the bed. Now, which women will ever say NO to such a morning especially working women?

“What will you have for breakfast?” I asked

“You don’t have to cook Today, I will make the breakfast.” The Man of the House replied

Ah! I was happy and wink him with a smile.

One thing I hate the most is doing laundry and to my surprise he helped me with laundry too.

My hubby’s love for photography is endless. So, he planned an afternoon photo session with the Woman of the House. Lucky me and clicked some awesome photos.

Sharing is also an Independence to make someone happy. What can you ask for more? If you share someone’s pain or good thoughts, you become an Independent and strong person and make a better future.

Spread Love, Spread Happiness

I love my Independence Day...

We always complaint about our life, pending dreams, and frustration, but we never see the underline happiness in them. Last day, while I was traveling by metro, some kids beside me were playing and talking loud. Among all, one of them was an infant sitting on her mother’s lap. She was happy playing with her mother and other children. The baby girl was enjoying the every moment of Kolkata metro ride. The continuous flash of light and dark while metro was passing through the underground track, her eyes was saying “I am surprised, what is happening?” And, in the next moment, she was giggling and playing. The happiness in her face, body and mind was boundless.

All grown-ups, like me, are somehow chained in duties, responsibilities, and “to-do-list” in everyday life. Somehow, we all forget our happiness and started complaining about the circumstances. As I was watching the activities of the infant, I realized that Life is all about to enjoy, no matter how much hurdle you face. After all, it is a single life. I don’t believe in next life. What do you think? This is your single life and you have to enjoy to the fullest.

We waste our energy in jealousy, competition and fight all through our life. But, does it give happiness to us? We came to this beautiful world empty-handed and we will go from this world empty-handed. Be pure from heart and always smile to enjoy the positive breeze in the life. The small baby also taught me the same thing. Nothing is true in this world. The ultimate truth is DEATH. I have had many bad experiences in my life, many ups and downs and holding grudges on people who affected my life is a stupidity. At the end, I want to be happy.

Be humble, be kind to the people who misbehave or put you in odd situation. Who knows? Life wants to teach you patience. Learn to forgive and spread happiness everywhere.

I noticed the old man sitting on a park bench sobbing his eyes out. I went to him and asked “what happened? Why are you crying?”

He was not paying attention to my words. I sat beside him and lay my comfort hands and told him, “Trust me. I am like your granddaughter.”

“My wife is dead and I have no home, I live in an old age home”, said the man

“No home”? I asked, don’t you have children?

“Yes, I have two sons and their family, but no one has time for a diabetic father.”

I was silent….

My time machine brings me here

To meet with you

You are my ultimate truth

For you, I am alive

You are close to me

But, I can only see you, can’t feel you with my fingers

“Get up”, get up”, you moron just get up…I can hear a    woman’s voice

You are fading away….…Why are you going away? Mahadev… 
         

Suddenly my diary falls from my chest

Opened my eyes lying on a blue sofa

Smiled and exclaimed

What a dream!!!

“No, I don’t know swimming. I will not go to seawater. I will experience the scenic view from distance”- said Anita

“You can my dear, trust me I am there to help you, I know how to swim”- remarked Anuj.

Anita is still in fear, but how can she disappoint her husband because it is their honeymoon and the perfect time for them to come close and shower love.

Holding her husband’s hand, Anita plays with the seawater, but her legs are still shivering and heart is beating fast. Suddenly, the hungry wave makes them apart and Anuj can only see the faded bubbles and a silent body floating.

Behind her she heard laughter/ screaming, but she did not turn around

Instead,

Smiles herself, and walk out of the classroom

“Fatty Maddy”…she hates to hear

Hurt, sad, cried with no friends around

Years passed and now she is a grown up High School Girl

“I am ugly”, she said to herself

One day met with a new boy in her class

Dreams about his presence all the time

Gazed at him all the day

One day, the boy came to her

You are “so beautiful” & “I am in love”

Beauty lies in your heart not in your looks.

Love has different meaning to everyone. I met with a girl a few days back and she is getting married next month. Yes, she is excited and happy. But, love has a different definition for her. I am sharing her words on LOVE and the feeling.

                   Muddat huee hai yaar ko mehmaan kiye huey!!! …..

        (It has been ages since I have treated my Lover as My Guest!)

Love is the worst feeling that you can have. Trust me! I know it!! I had my fair share of flings. Who am I to kid? But Love? It happened only Once! And I am still in Love with that guy. I am going to get married the next month… I know I should get rid of these stupid feelings once and for all. But no! They refuse to go1! In fact the feelings are growing by leaps and bounds! By now, you must have understood that the guy I love and the Individual I am going to get married is not the same person! Same old story, did I hear? Well, for you it may be, but not for me….. I once read Brida and yes I strongly believe in soul mates. Does marriage change anything? For me, it never will!

You just learn to live! And yes I am living. But am I ALIVE? No, definitely not! Why am I not breaking the shackles and going for what my heart desires? Simple, because I don’t have the Guts! I don’t prefer to blame situations and circumstances. Rather it is better to accept the fact. Unlimited reasoning’s cannot change the Fact. And My Love for You will never Change. Good Luck To Me! Adios…..

The night is dark

My eyes are still open

So many tales to share

But, no one to hear

As morning kisses my eyes

I wear the smile

Gulp down my tales

Inside my little heart

Time flies…

My tales are still unheard

I am a mess

It's hard to control

But, no one to look at me

Deep inside

The night is dark

My eyes are still open!!

“I am writing a letter about how a mother teaches honesty to her child with the Max Life Insurance i-genius #YoursHonestly activity in association with BlogAdda.”

My dear lovely Maa,

It was 27^th September, 1987 when I first met with you crying out loud so that you can take me in your arms and embrace me with all your love. For me, you are my comfort zone where I can rest my body and talk for hours. I am blessed to have you as my mother. The rules and principles you taught me are indispensable and still works today though I am a married woman now.

You never showed extra pamper and spoon-fed me during my growing age and I am grateful to you Maa. You make me a self-independent, confident girl and I can take care of myself in any situation. It is your confidence in me that make me so strong in life. Even if I cry, or breakdown in any situation I can again stand up and face the reality of the world. Maa, did you remember?-One day when I was coming from school and it was so hot outside that you want me to wear light clothes in the house, but I wanted to wear heavy dress. You got so angry that you make me wear 17 dresses and like a “fat cat” I had my lunch after that. Ha ha ha…I know you remember and you must be smiling now. Within 10 minutes, I understood why you said me to wear light clothes and stay relaxed during summer. After so many years, it only bring giggles on my face.

You never express your care through words, but your action says everything. In another incident i.e. in my cousin’s marriage, I could not take part because of my graduation exam and when you asked “what I ate?” I told you the truth of PG food, but later on my cousins told me that you were crying silently and you did not ate the menus of the marriage. A Maa can only make such sacrifices. I accept, that I did not have a friend like relationship with you, but your honesty taught me to become an honest person. When I had a first relationship in my life, it was you whom I told first and never lie to you and it was “you” who told me whether the relationship will work or not. Today, I am lucky that I follow your words and understand how is our society? Though lately.

“Sharing is Loving”

I am 28, I am a professional and I am married. My husband and I share a good rapport, but when it comes to sharing household chores I am quite lucky. He is a modern age man who does not feel shy to share the household work with me. I must say, he is a great cook and after office, he spends more time in the kitchen helping me in cutting vegetables, washing the utensils and cooking. It is good to see him cooking because he is a foodie and me too and when I am bored with my cooking, he is there to help me out. The good thing is that when he is in the kitchen, I can look after the laundry and cleaning of the house at weekends. Trust me, it saves our time and we spend quality time in the evening.

Are you jealous? Well, it is not your fault if your man is not helping you in the household chores. After all, we live in India and we are blessed with patriarchal ideology. 90% of men love to give orders to their wives and the “Sati Savitri” women are ready to oblige the orders of their “Pati Parmeshwar”. Thanks, that my husband belongs to that 10% who understand the equality in household chores and never leave me alone with washing, cleaning, laundry and cooking. India’s social custom did not allow the men to work at home and if they do so they are called “ladies”. It is a sick mentality, but it is changing slowly because of the nuclear family concept. Most couples live in metropolitan cities because of work commitments and at the end of the day doing these household chores give them the time to spend together and exchange sweet words.

Don’t you think sharing the household chores is a good idea? Most importantly, it will help you come closer to your partner both psychologically and physically. After a tiring day, a sweet smile of your spouse will fix your spoil mood and increase the level of happy hormone. In fact, the household chores make you active and fit and you can overcome the drowsiness. I know, society does not take this matter in a good way and not even your in-laws. But, it is the understanding between you and your partner that will strengthen your relationship and everyone will understand automatically. To me, there should be equality in household chores and share a good bond as a happy married couple.

Today, my marriage has become 6 months old and first heart touching words I heard from my husband is “You look tough outside, but actually you are soft inside… like a Coconut”

I pounce back “Me a Coconut”…errrrrrrrrr. But, jokes apart, I truly smiled inside that how a new person in my life understands me so well. I think that is why it is called BETTER HALF.

These 6 months are really the happening phase of my life. When a girl enters into a new family as the bride, she has many responsibilities. Didn’t I sound stereotypical? I cannot help because even my parents teach me these words. But, clapping with one hand is not possible. So, responsibilities come from both ends. That is where; my husband opens his arms for me. It takes time to understand a new family, the strength of a family and most importantly shortfalls of the family.

Every girl is an individual before she is a wife or a new member in the In-laws family. In-laws making her comfortable in the new family encourage her to appreciate the family members and vice-versa. My husband always provides me the space, which I deserve. As individuals, we are totally different to each other. Still, we are taking lovely efforts to understand deeply.

I think it is good to be different as an individual. In that way, you know the strength and weakness of each other. The reasons are simple:

New difference, new growth- Talking about the same topic will bring boredom at certain times. But, if you have two different topics, then you definitely share more knowledge. I like to talk about romances while my husband is too practical. Sometimes, it irritates me, but later on his practical knowledge helps me to take strong decisions for myself and my dreams.

Opposite attraction is strong- Difference in view leads to conflicts. The question is not who wins, but how we meet these challenges and get success in our relationship. Each day brings something new in our relationship. Certainly, attraction of opposite personalities always works. (Well, god’s grace it is working in my case.)

Balance in married life- Understanding in married life come if you understand your partner. I am a girl with too much life, friendly, energetic, impatient and great dreamer. Well, my compatible husband is calm, patient and practical. Initially, it takes time for us to understand each other. But now, that we know each other’s persona we are in a magical journey called MARRIAGE.

In the matter of values, we are like-minded people who live simple life with a positive outlook. Now, whenever there are any differences between us, we are clear to sort the problems sooner.

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart." - Helen Keller

When you are in a long distance relationship, you are mature enough to handle the relationship. This kind of relationship needs responsibility and rational thought. These days, people are staying away from family, love and native place due to various reasons:

1. Education
2.  Job
3. Social activity

But, these activities do not force anyone to stop loving. Long distance relationship is a not an action, but an understanding between partners. When your love is far from you, each day is like a year. Some people find it very hard to maintain a long distance relationship. This result in regular fight, anguish, distrust and finally the relationship ends up in bad taste.

With my experience, I like to share my thoughts on a long distance relationship....

  Cut down the Ego- Where there is ego, there is no love. Whether it is personal ego or      professional ego, it kills the long distance relationship with time. Flow the love without ego. You will explore exciting moments in love.

Not all couples possess the same attributes in a long distance relationship. However, the above points will make your love grow strong and healthy. After all, love is an emotion that keeps both partners together for the entire life.

Love to hear your experience....
