  It is said’ Man proposes God disposes of’ this holds good in my case. A born rebel who yearned to live life on her own terms. A feminist and a staunch supporter of woman emancipation I wanted to reach the zenith in my chosen field. Two decades back girls weren’t given too much leverage to express their own opinions. Our society mired with patriarchy believes girls opinions don’t count, they need to get a basic college education, learn household chores and finally settle into a life of domesticity.

#The Woman That I Am- An Ode To My Soulmate

Image
Today after two decades I take this liberty to tell the world about the woman I am. Michelle Obama's words, a hot cup of latte, the raindrops falling on the window, the smell of petrichor have set the mood for writing on the Blog Hop.  Two decades back when we tied the knot my life became a knotty affair. I tried to navigate through the different facets of life as best as I could. I was chosen with thorough precision as your soulmate.  The Perfect girl chosen for the Perfect son was now a mirage, she was imperfect and flawed. She only demanded respect and identity in her marital home. Alas, they say 'Woman thy name is jealousy' held true when I was bombarded with criticisms, barbs and acerbic remarks by your mother. My actions were looked at with cynicism, soon the conundrum regarding the MIL-DIL relationship had begun, I cribbed and cried but you helped me steer clear from the trajectory path with elan. It hurt me when she started her unnecessary caterwauling or cavi...

HAPPINESS

What actually is happiness,some feel money,some feel love,some feel materialistic pleasures.But for me none of these matter. Looking at the falling raindrops,smell of moist soil,walking in the sand,chasing colourful butterflies,running with the wind, looking at the azure blue sky,sitting on the dewy lawn,bright blossoms in the garden,nature and hues of nature,and then sit in a hammock in the garden surrounded with pen,paper and cool glass of lemonade,listening to music and penning down thoughts in prose and poetry.This is true happiness for me.

Writing

Life can be monotonous,if one doesn't read and then pen down.My motto is daily read and write.As it is said"pen is mightier than the sword."Our day to day life is full of problems and the best way to solve them is by bringing them out through your writing.Writing is catharatic for the soul.
