Along the way - Write Tribe festival of Words # Day 3

In an era of fast foods, gadget and social media, it always seemed a life of quick pace . Every day the hurry in which we all get ready at home never left me the time to think of all that is beautiful around me.

Yesterday, I made a conscious decision of observing and living every moment, the vaguest of smells and minute sounds and what unfolded was no less than magic.

The love in which my grandma made me every morsel of food and the very existence that I am able to spend time with her was filled with emotions .The long sleep in the morning which is usually a rarity had me dreaming beyond what I thought about myself. The moment I stepped out of my house with my little daughter and mom , the journey opened up eye catching sights – like the smell of soil after I saw someone washing their ground , smearing it with turmeric and drawing a rangoli. A sense of tradition and oneness is what that scene arose.

When I saw my daughter, all of 6 able to make her choice so definitely on her dress, I felt pride and happy as what I envisioned for her to be when she was within me was becoming a reality. While on the way back home, the temple bells and the aroma of all those flowers and incense sticks took me back to all those days as a youngster when I use to accompany my family.


Mindfulness surely does wonders in one and makes me feel contented …http://writetribe.com/

I felt as if I walked beside you, sharing your memories, smelling the ground, and hearing the bells. Yet, we live such different lives. Thank you for sharing yours.

It's great to observe things and realize how small things bring a smile on your face.

I am fertile (#InfertilityNotATaboo)

I am fertile, I now have a 7 seven year old - sounds obnoxious , isn't it , well that's the truth and I find it very weird every time I get to hear this told to me "Thank God, all went well for you and you have this child , not many women are lucky". A land worth millions does not promise a yield, industries which has lived a lifetime cannot predict their next year  - For God's sake , I am a Woman human and I was not born with a tag. I mention the WOMAN in particular, for , the four people who live around my neighborhood only seem to have time to find my missing tag. I indeed thank the almighty for the bundle of joy he has given me , I am here to narrate my first hand experience of my friend with whom I have lived through one of her most unreasonable phase. Her wedding was the most talked about in our circle, she got the guy she loved, she had the best job, she was at the peak of her career, a dream wedding , a dreamier honeymoon in the alps( All comments on...

Reel of Feelings ( A- Anger) #AtoZ Challenge

Image
A- ANGER I knew I was one , it was just 6 weeks and there was a long journey ahead of me . Have I done right in listening to that voice who enticed me into this..yes into this . I heard someone calling "Latha ...Latha..is everything fine" and then it was a roller coaster ride, an experience of a free fall, some back and forth, a flattening , a vacuum , a rush and then stillness. And then the voice again, "So how is it?", I said I want to come back , this is getting a lot stickier than you told me and that was absolutely not the deal we had. It laughed and spoke with its usual calmness "It has just begun my dear , the deal is for a lifetime , she is a lovely human , with her your journey will become more beautiful and in the next few minutes you will know how she feels for you". That word again "feeling " I thought, I am happy feeling happy was what I was saying when there were not one but 3 voices. All was broken, "Are you sure", ...

And it made the difference - Write tribe festival of words #4

Was it in her womb or in the flowers bloom ; Up in those valleys travelled , in the moments that left me baffled ; In the smile of a tender face , all those tears I shed in those phase; What was that which made the difference ; it was the time I learnt to be creative Am I the one to inspire which is what I aspire; Are you the one who inspired and never gave in to what you desired; Through the dark tunnels and the lit up sky , quite a contrary is what I sigh ; What was that which made the difference ; it was the time I learnt to be creative Noises that I hear all the time, in this world of brain that is mine; Words out of a voice , where the need is just for poise; A life worth a million dollar , all it requires is love and valor; What was that which made the difference ; it was the time I learnt to be creative Will we ever meet , O supreme , in your space so sweet; Colors is what I see as far as my eyes could sting like a bee; This is what ma...
