I've Grown Up


Complexion is skin tone,
And I love the one I own.
I don't search for beauty in me,
it's personality which fills our soul.

Hence, I say I've grown up!

I understand my family,
And accept them much more.
I've started respecting their choices,
And love them like never before.
I find my parents still beautiful,
More graceful with those wrinkles,
As it's their life experience and wisdom
Which made my life this simple.

Hence I say I've grown up!

I've stopped searching true love,
May be I was never looking for.
What excites me is true respect
Which helped me travel this far.
I'm not waiting for someone to rescue me,
I've to be Savior and I'm ready to be.
I've learned to be on my own
And need myself to survive,
I don't want a husband nor
I want to be someone's wife,
All I need is a life partner
whom I can share my goals
And cherish my peaceful life.

Hence I say I've grown up!

I've stopped emphasising my mistakes,
I understand people instead.
Since I'm not waiting for any apology,
I find myself free in deed.
When I looked within me,
tried to resolve those conflicts,
I found myself harsh on me
I realised I was so strict.
I ran behind those physical comforts,
Some goals and chasing  ambitions.
Little did I know it's superficial,
True success was in self-love
And certain realizations.

Hence I say I've grown up.

I say I've grown up
because I wanted to grow.
I say I've grown up
because I'll grow more...

Being Mother...

Image
A woman plays many roles in her life-->daughter,sister,wife and finally a Mother.Being a mother is just like being CEO of some core field company for her.Different kind of women have different approach towards their life.But when it comes to motherhood,what we find is "Unity in Diversity"!Let me authenticate my statement. Very first category is that of my mother.Many fall under this category.She is the one who works before and after her marriage,but once she expects a child,she compromise her career and devotes her complete life being a caretaker of her child.Her love acts as a strength,but emotions are not less than weapon.(personal experience). Another category comes forward is that of working woman.She gains her own position,creates a benchmark and expects her child to cross it.Her emotions and love are not less than that of first category,all she adds to her love is a bit practicality which proves out to be strength for her child but lack of time creates distance ...

Deserving Attention

   Picture Courtesy: Ankita Pal Chhotray Dear Akanksha, Wish you and Aarya a very Happy Birthday! It gives me immense pleasure to publish this blog on your birthday. Arya’s birth on your sixth birthday was the most remarkable coincidence I have witnessed in my life. I feel proud to see you both growing up, especially you getting involved in your parent’s business during your vacation. The best part is you even started enjoying it. Eighteen years back, I remember the only ambition you had was to marry Hritik Roshan. LOL! Time flies! In these many years, we have evolved from neighbors to friends or let’s keep it simple ‘Soul Sisters’. The foundation of our relation is the ease to be able to communicate our views and perspectives to each other. We have the ability to discuss and provide sufficient information. And when I say we discuss, we don’t just talk but try to understand each other as well. Now that’s what I call ‘being friends’. Since you will be a grad...

Acceptance

In the midst of pleasing people, we forget the most vital approval, ‘the self-approval’. Everyone’s opinion has become so important but our own. Where did we leave ourselves? Why are we so scared to take a stand? We manipulate our statements to make people comfortable. This can be out of love, respect or mere social convention. But is your behavior being reciprocated by them? We always have answers to this question but we avoid the truth...
