The Balancing Act

Some days are dark and dowdy, some days are all spring and sun.   Of late, I feel there is something inside me, which is immensely eager to break free, break free into lines, paragraphs, pages, and chapters, metamorphosing into a wonderful, soul touching piece of literature.    Am I out of my mind, or is it the age catching up with me and showing me mirages. No idea.     I am quite cosy and smug about this at one point of time and some other time I am a bundle of nerves, not knowing what is it that is going on inside me? Whatever it is, so long it inspires me to come back to my blog and write I am fine with it. May be this ‘something’ inside me will never materialize, may be it will but I just hope this will, will me to write and write and write..  Till then dear friends and dear me… take care and stay blessed

Dear Daughter, On your fifteenth birthday I have so much to say but I am unable to do so.  I think the first and foremost thing to say today to you is 'forgive me', forgive me for all the yelling and screaming and arguing that I do with you, I feel like a monster when I do that to you.  I know these are those difficult years in an individuals life, the teen years when you are neither here nor there and you feel alienated, you feel that the entire world is against you, especially your Mother.   I totally identify with that feeling, it feels like yesterday when I went through the same feelings and I thought my Mother was an insensitive person. It took me almost a  life time, that is till you turned a teenager to realise how it feels to be in the shoes of a Mother but it is ironical that though I totally understand your feelings I am somehow unable to show you the empathy that I must. I feel strangulated  when I enter the house in the evening after a...

I had been trying to bring my self to write the customary New Year post but after that very enjoyable, very challenging Blog Marathon I was sort of drained out.   Today I have dragged myself to this page. I am glad that this year has finally come to an end , this year started off damp and then kept on getting damper and damper both personally and professionally.   I do not even want to write down anything fearing that mere mention of these things would bring negativity. Right now I am in the thick of something like the famous ‘Waiting for Godot’, well it seems an unending wait but I am hopeful and shall remain so. I am thankful to God for all the blessings he has bestowed upon me and my family and I have only one wish for me and all of you who are reading this, to let 2017 be a year of love, hope, peace , good health and happiness.  With this noble thought and its resonating positivity I take your leave, to meet you next year, hopefully with lots of...

It feels so good to see the finishing line at last.  This Blog Marathon has been exhilarating, there were days when nothing came to the mind, I stared at the blank screen, but eventually the muse came around and the page was filled, oh yes sometimes only half filled, sometimes quarter and sometimes it did over flow.  Thank you Swarm for pushing all of us into this…it was worth it.    The feeling of achievement is great and this time there were so many of us encouraging each other, sometimes giving that much needed nudge and push to each other, I loved the team spirit and hand holding I got from so many of you this time. Thank you Deeps and Vincy   and lan too for dropping by. I got new blogger friends this time around like Scorpria , Shilpa garg , Anu …. Thank you so much for dropping by and giving your comments..and the pleasure is all mine on meeting you and getting to know you during this   blogathon.    Looking forward...
