Dear God
Life has taken a 360 degree turn these days. I have gotten a golden chance
to go back home for extended periods of time, reconnect to old friends, spend
time with my sweet little niece and once again a chance to look forward to new avenues
ahead.
Thank You!! Thank You for the chance to recharge my life again with people
who used to be a part of my life in yesteryears. These are people I have known
since more than a decade now. Amazing how life came full circle. During the
years that went by, we all have loved and lost. Some of us got lucky and I got to
meet the new addition to our family.
Then of course, the subtle hints at my loveless life and people trying to
Ahem…. get in. It is amazing how my friends believe the grandeur of my life is
a façade. Nah…it isn’t. I am single, not ready to mingle. Is it like that hard
to believe that a person can live, breathe, exist and be happy on their own?
And that proverbial gory
pictures of the future… Abe Ja!
If that was true then
there would be no vriddhashrams in the world and no one would be dumping
old members of their families left, right and centre. Having a family of your
own does not guarantee you will have someone to care for you in your old age.
There is always this possibility of getting neglected, trashed, robbed of your
life savings by emotional blackmail and so much more.
My being single is completely
unplanned and unintentional. But somehow my heart and mind refuse to believe
the criteria of evaluation while deciding a life partner. Height, weight,
caste, creed, religion, job… What about being considerate, passionate, caring?
Not to forget the series of ‘What Ifs’ that starts looming large whenever I
think about the possibility.
Thank You for my peaceful
existence. Love You God and look forward to my birthday this month. For the
first time in my life, I actually don’t care who plans what for me. I would be
happy sharing a coffee and some cake with I, me, myself this year if need be. Aisa
hone wala nahin hai waise…
