Shadows and Light

Sometimes in life, dark shadows are all you see. But it helps to remember that there is a source of light. You just have to find where it is.

The Outburst of an Indian Wife.

I am Indian. I am a wife. I married for love because it is the modern age. Earlier we had, these silly reasons. Money, status, family and fame. They married for that and lived with that. For no one dared question. No one dared change. The winds of change has blown around. The hearts of men have changed a bit Not fully, I say. Not fully, but bit. I am an Indian, I am a wife. I have not changed; name - my own. for the sake of it to be shown. I have a job and that was my dowry. For the world knows I can stand on my own, if things go awry. I do decide. He does decide. And we get to say and stay together in matters of life. I am ninety now and see my kids married and in a total mess. Maybe, they didnt learn or try to see. What husband did to the life of me. They live-in now, dont have kids. Earn for two and spend for three. No. This aint what I dreamt of then. This aint what I predicted. My husband is gone And I am still here. Hope he sees me and my imminent fear. Bless our sons, Bless me t

Land of Alps

Which town did we move to? Where the rainbows of the Alps are shining? Which town is further away? And how long is it? Lands of fury, of might and of love. Cries are heard, in the dusk and dawn. Prayers for sons, husbands and loves. Craters of loses stitched onto the edges and lives with hems. - Now, The war is done and the land is free. But the minds are not, They are a crying spree.
The start of a day, starts at night. And the start of a night during the day.

Life is not always just about you

So, again a long time no see. :) Been the longest I guess, since I wrote here. I dont even dare to calculate how many days. So, this boyfriend of mine gives me a piece of his mind about why I didnt write a single thing for so long. My life revolved around a lot of other things lately. What they say is true. Growing up is a lot of trouble. Responsibilities and worries. Although it is not just that. A lot of good things came up. I know how the outside world is. I decided to commit for life. Well, he is demanding. It is hard for him to say what you did is perfect and upto my standards. -Almost never.- He does not ask me to do something. He asks me to finish the task. He does nt ask me whether I finished something. He asks me to give a status update. It is like having a full time manager in your life.I have had times when I had to remind him that he is a manager only in his office. But still.. He is one awesome person. And I cant imagine my life without him now. Anyway, coming back
