Is your life set?

 "Mera to itna life kharab ho gaya, itna life kharab ho gaya mera....", I heard Kangana's dialogue from the movie, 'Queen'. She went on a honeymoon all by herself. And here I was, who had never been even on a solo trip.


"Ah!", I sighed. And Mr.Hubby gave me weird looks. "Tumhari life to ekdum set hai. Why are you sighing?", he said.


And this took me into a trance....pondering over his statement, "Kya meri life set hai?".


How do you know that your life is set? Do you all know how to measure success? Are you happy in your life? And what are the parameters?


Sorry, sorry! I am bombarding you all with these questions back to back. But how many of you have sat down and given it a thought, about where you are heading in life and are you satisfied?


I got a forward on WhatsApp the other day. In the video, the influencer was suggesting that if you've these 6 things in life then you are doing fine -



A roof on your head,

Food in your plate,

Family

Water to drink

Clean clothes to wear

8 hours of sleep


Well, are these parameters of happiness? Is this really enough? Yes, I mean these are the basic necessities and we should be thankful for having them. But shouldn't we put some more effort to achieve something in life.

Some accomplishment that makes you stand out as a woman, makes you feel worth of living as a human.


You may be happy being a mom. Cooking kid's favourite dishes, that's what you look forward for. Making sure your children are studying well, helping them with their projects, running up and down with them for all their activities. This may be your life's goal and why not! It's fine as long as it makes you happy.


You may be happy being a dedicated wife. Doing all the household chores. Taking care of your husband, ironing his clothes, keeping all the things he needs upto date and ready for him to use. If this suits you, why not!


You may be happy being a daughter. Going out of the way to do anything and everything for your parents. Be it helping out financially or physically or mentally. If you feel a sense of achievement with this, sure, go ahead!


But as a woman, is that all you can do? Why can't we attain things just being us, on our own? Why do we always want a relation to prove ourselves?


"Can I get a cup of coffee?", asked Mr.Hubby. I snapped out of the trance. We both had coffee and I got energised. "I am going on a solo trip", I announced. "I don't want to get set just like that. I want to explore ", I declare.




And I heard a giggle and a murmur, "Mera to itna life kharab ho jayega.....!". And I winked and said...."Lekin aap toh set ho".

Perfect family is a myth.

 Perfect family is a myth.... When the members laugh and giggle, They share the stories of their success and struggle, When kids in the house smile as they play, When, together the family eats and prays...... The elders are given respect, Such family has delightful prospect, Grand kids listen to tales from grandparents, Lullabies are sung, every night, inherent..... Happy faces are seen in imperfect frameworks, Holding onto each other tightly, gains some perks, Mistakes are meant to happen but everyone owns them, Not blaming each other and causing mayhem..... Can you help me? Isn't a strange question to ask, Nor is it inferior to seek help to complete task, Together, is how people are bound, Close knit, is best fit that sounds..... Family gets together for photographs, once in a while, There's chaos to line up and smile, Who stands where? And who sits next to whom, Total mess it is, but a piece of heirloom...... Traditions are carried forward, Sometimes willingly, sometimes awk...

Which diagonal lane?

 What should I wear? The most customary question that haunts every woman. And it was our school reunion after, nearly 20 years. So I had to look my best. It's a different high that you get when you are confident among the school friends and classmates, whether it's carrying yourself dignified enough or it's conveying that you've attained a position for yourself. Specially to the ones, you used to compete with. When, I never compromised on my rank in school, how could I compromise on my appearance and presentation to the same set of classmates? So I picked up an elegant dress and accessories to match. And Vollaa! I was ready to go. Driving your own car to the venue is dope on another level. I didn't know the locality so I switched on the maps. The 'Map lady' started with her instructions, in that monotonous voice. And let me tell you, the way this foreign woman pronounces Indian names of roads, it's sometimes hilarious. You've to keep looking down, zo...

Longing for December!

Image
Those chilly winds.... Those cold nights..... Those pellucid skies.... Those snowy aisles.... I long for that December, I dream and always remember...... The warmth of the quilts, The cosiness of hugs.... Sipping some hot coffee, Flavours of vanilla, chocolate and hazelnuts...... I long for that December, I dream and always remember...... Silent nights, Long walks.... Quick bites, Short talks.... I long for that December, I dream and always remember..... Birthdays, Holidays, Christmas and New years, Celebrating with friends, close ones and dears.... Love the wintry weather, Wrapped up in a sweater....... I long for that December, I dream and always remember..... JUI.
