Terrors in a women's mind

Doesn't really matter how old we grow but still the terror of the silent road haunts us.

I'm sharing this incident that happened few days back with me.

It was a bright sunny day in December afternoon,  I was coming back from my exam ...
The time was around 1.40 pm  and i was travelling by an auto ..

So we were about to enter into an underpass which was all dark and instantly my mind lights went on - to be extra cautious- since it was super duper dark.

Suddenly the auto slowed down and all I could think of is what if this happens what if that happens. 

I saw car parked at a good distance and the light is blinking so again a lot of things started coming and crossing through my mind what is this what if that.

Finally I was relieved when I saw a girl puking out of the car and at the same time light breaking in in the underpass as we were coming out of it towards the another side.

So that moment I realised that our own fear haunts us.

The numerous stories that we hear about the incidents happening throughout the world and specially near us,  in our own city does haunt us.

Here the Auto driver definitely was not wrong but he was perceived wrong due to chain of incident , and it made me feel insecure with him suddenly at that point of time. 

And that's when I realise that even in the broad daylight if I couldn't feel safe then certainly when someone says that night travels should be avoided and still people have to do it for the work of family it pains me that what they go through throughout their journey.

Navigating the Morning Madness: Finding Balance Amidst Chaos

The alarm blares, jolting me awake from the comfort of slumber. As I groggily open my eyes, the reality of another busy morning rushes in like a tidal wave. It's the familiar routine of office days for my husband, and the responsibility falls on my shoulders to ensure everything runs smoothly before he heads out the door. But in the midst of the chaos, I find myself grappling with an overwhelming sense of pressure, juggling multiple roles and responsibilities that seem to pull me in every direction. The morning madness begins in earnest as I stumble out of bed and into the whirlwind of activity. There are lunches to pack, breakfasts to prepare, and kids to get ready for school. Each task demands my attention, leaving little room for error or delay. And yet, as I move through the motions, I can't shake the feeling of being stretched too thin, of teetering on the edge of exhaustion as I try to keep up with the demands of the day. Perhaps it's the weight of additional responsi...

When everyone knows except the mom

It's been a month to a year my kid was born . Still a beautiful memory and evolving him and me with time. First time mothers learn through their own experience or from the advice from friends and family  and most important advice from the whole society on parenting . A mother only knows what she goes through in all the phases since the child is born to feeding him to his crawl to his solids to his ever changing clothes to his habits to his likes to his dislikes and every goddamn thing about the baby . She only knows how she learns to adapt to this roller coaster of change in baby needs with every passing month and then fortnight and still keeping balance in every sphere of life around her .  But in all this learning and adapting session , there is a very important thing that keeps poking into her personal life about “ parenting”. So since few days people around me , be it my help who is single and doesn't really know much about parenting or childbirth , old age aunties...

A Little Helper: My Son's Act of Kindness

Parenting often surprises us with moments of unexpected help and kindness, reminding us of the incredible bond shared within our families. During our recent trip to Ranthambore, I experienced one such heartwarming incident involving my 5-year-old son, who stepped up to lend a hand when I needed it most. As we explored the resort grounds with our 5-month-old daughter in her stroller, my husband received an urgent call and had to rush back to our room. Suddenly, I found myself faced with the challenge of navigating the resort's stairs and pathways alone, with a baby in the stroller. In moments like these, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and unsure of how to proceed. However, my son surprised me by stepping forward with a determined look in his eyes. "Mommy, I can help you," he said, echoing the actions he had observed from his father. I couldn't help but smile at his eagerness to assist, even though he was only 5 years old. With his father's actions as a guide, he...
