Time
flies. Where to? I wonder these days. With my two little ones too, turning into
teenagers the little magical moments I had taken as routine - the bed-time
stories, cuddles, little talks, and the carefree laughs are all turning into a
rarity. Friends, school, study, homework,
library, sports, etc keep them busy taking them away from me. I miss their innocent
evokes of whys, whats and hows for almost everything and that was what had made
me to discover some facts and information which were otherwise neglected. Now, Mr.
Google is always there to help them for any information they need. The so called family time, what I had worked
on to make it a routine is shrinking. Good
morning posts on Whats app group as soon as they wake up even before they rise
from their bed is on their topmost priority.
They no more need reminders for making up their bed or tidying up their
room. The house which used to be a mess,
a couple of years back is no more a mess. Everything is in its place, neat and
tidy. Watching all these my mind races
with thoughts, random thoughts, some make sense while some scary with
uncertainty of future pushing me to my childhood days and I fall into the
pattern of comparison between what I lived through and what they are living
today.
It was in
my early twenties, I married. Had a successful career too. It was like a dream coming true when I fell
in love with my life. With my first baby
in my arms, life was complete. Two more
added when I was twenty nine. And time
flew. As I hit thirty, with the responsibility
increasing, life seemed to slow down. But
in late thirties, perspective changed. Fresher
thoughts spurred unclogging all the mental blocks. With adding on years, though the hair
turning into grey, the most beautiful part of life was kilos never added,
except a little here and there. So there wasn't any fear of shaping out with
the looming fear of forty. Turning a new
leaf of my life, abandoning my job, a newness and enthusiasm grew transforming me into a
new me. The new journey began.
The bitter truth!
