Women in my life..

My 100th blog post ought to be Special, ought to be dedicated to someone Amazing and ought to be released on a Special Date

This Woman gave birth to me, nourished me from herself, drenched me with her Love and Mamta all these years, has been a sanctuary for me always and Loved me more than anyone else in the world, she is still at it. Only after growing up to a certain age and maturing to a particular level of understanding, have I known her struggles. As I grow into a man, she is getting older and many things will never be the same, I have to prepare myself and herself for the same.

I wish she takes up Yoga, Pranayam and Meditation on a daily basis, but being a devoted House-wife taking care of each & every need of the family, she gets very tired which leaves little or no room for her personal activities. Only now I have realized that all these years, whatever she has been doing day-in and day-out taking care of all of us, without any deviation whatsoever and going the extra mile many times just to please us, that is her Actual Sadhana. Her daily work itself is an Arduous yet fulfilling Sadhana.

My Chachi (Uncle's Wife), has been a second Mom to me and my younger brother, ours being a joint family. As soon as she was engaged to my Uncle, she used to treat me and my brother with delicious food items. After she married into our family, she started cooking fancy food at home, as a result we got all nice and tasty food-stuff at home itself. That was her way of showering Love on us children by regularly treating us to New Dishes, all hygienic and Home-made, thus greatly cutting down our need or desire to have street food or restaurant take-outs.

My Sister from another Mother(My Paternal Aunt's Daughter), is my rightful Sister for all Intents and Purposes. She's the sister I spent my childhood weekends and vacations with, enjoyed fun stuff together, games and dances, movies and music, TV and stuff, maturity and spirituality; all this and much more was shared among me, my brother and her; which is now etched in our minds as beautiful memories. She is a young Mother now and as life progresses, we both support each other during difficult times and the bond keeps strengthening with each passing day. We also share all the good news and achievements of Life with each other, otherwise what use is good news if you don't share it with a Loved one. Before my marriage, I had told her She's gonna get a best friend in my to-be-wife, which she realized after meeting my Wife.

My Wifey, from whom I was physically separate as anything, came into my life, loved me dearly, made me hers(rather, after meeting her I never ever wanted to be without her in my life), we were madly in love, the minds started tuning, we had same likes and dislikes, same outlook towards life, we began fusing into each other literally. One of the best things about her was, she Perfectly Complemented my lack of certain qualities by her people skills, this made her my Better-Half indeed. There is a certain thirst in me which was quenched only when I heard her voice on the phone, or met her in person and at present I get that feeling only when I see her in my dreams. I always felt Oneness and Closeness with her in spite of the physical distance between both of us for most part of our lives before our marriage. She did everything for me, all that a devout Wife would do, she not only gave herself completely to me, but also Accepted me in Totality for whoever I was, without ever asking me to change. This was her True & Self-less Love for me, which I now understand in its entirety.

That Oneness with my Wife is nowhere to be found with anyone else now, not that I am looking for it from other people. That experience of Oneness with my Wifey was only once disturbed and went missing just 1 day before my Wifey passed away, on that day the physical distance between us was zero, but the life energies were not fusing with each other like before, perhaps a disaster was about to happen and it did too; I couldn't save her even with all my love.

All my life, my Mom and Wife have been unfair to me.

unfair: not based on or behaving according to the principles of equality and justice. At times, I have been avoiding, disappointing, hurting, sometimes keeping the truth from them, but all they gave back to me was Undying Love, Constant Care and Endless Support; so unfair right! 

Mom Loved and nurtured me in such a way, that I turned out to be a decent man who puts Love and Care above everything else, who can easily put his guard down when surrounded by Loved Ones. Chachi now, not only feeds me but also teaches me the art of cooking, so that I can become a better man. My Sister and I are round-the-clock support for each other, and will always be. My Wifey Accepted me totally and Loved each bit of me. I am forever indebted to these Women who have Invested their Life on me Literally! Now, there lies a huge responsibility on my shoulders, to live a life which is worth this much amount of sacrifice and love from these Amazing Ladies.

Dear Mom, I will keep loving and taking care of you always. Dear Chachi, as time progresses I will prepare good food, and you shall relish it. Dear Sister, we will always be there for each other. My Sweet Wifey, you are never out of my mind, I know what I have to do.

Thank You God for blessing me with the Best Mom, Wonderful Chachi and a Caring Sister and on top of that gracing my Life with the Perfect Wife.

Pandemic Bright

pandemic in the world
Prevention is better than Cure and
Survival is better than Death

too much risk of infection
More Caution in Daily Life

no unnecessary travel
More Time to be Productive

no unnecessary shopping
More Saving for Future

lost contact with people
Learnt to do many things Independently

not meeting new people
Got Closest to Family

many things are unavailable
Making the Best use of what is Available

material distractions are very few
Real needs becoming more Apparent

times are difficult
True well-wishers are now Distinct

daily drama is gone
more clarity of Mind

you are somehow saved
Help others in Need

emptiness is biting
Introspect what we Ultimately Want

never to forget the lessons learnt
Everything happens for a Reason and
Sooner or Later the Brighter side Appears!
