Flair of Life

A Promise That Still Lives

2025-10-13T00:31:00.000-07:00

Some promises are meant to last a lifetime, even if love doesn’t.

It all began when I was just 19. They say first love can never be forgotten — and maybe they’re right. When our little princess came into this world, we made a promise together: that we would make her life nothing short of heaven. We vowed she would never feel a lack of love, that we would stand by each other and sail through life hand in hand.

For years, we built dreams, beautiful ones — for ourselves and for her. But somewhere along the way, I lost sight of when things began to change. I don’t know when the distance slipped in, or when love started to fade. Slowly, the promises that once felt unbreakable turned fragile, and the dreams we painted together shattered quietly.

Today, it feels like my entire nervous system is shattering under the weight of lost love and broken promises. I stand alone, holding the dreams we once had for our daughter, every nerve aching with the emptiness left behind. It’s fate that brought me here, not choice, yet I still hold on to hope, love, and the promises I made to her.

Venu, I still want to believe that what we had was true, that our love was real. Maybe it was fate that led us here, not choice. You will always remain in my prayers, just like every other day.

But unlike you, I will keep our promise — till my last breath.

And as I turn this page of my life, I choose to see not just what’s lost, but what still remains — the courage to love deeply, the strength to move forward, and the hope that life, even after endings, can still be beautiful in new ways.

She Didn’t Walk Away—She Stepped Up

2025-07-16T02:14:00.000-07:00

Some mothers never imagined they’d be doing this alone.

They didn’t hope for solo bedtime routines, silent dinners, or lonely school events.
They simply made the hardest decision of all—
To stop begging a man to care.
To stop hoping he’d suddenly become the father their child needed.

Because parenting isn’t a part-time gig.
It’s not showing up with excuses and disappearing when it gets real.
A child doesn’t need a photo-op dad.
They need someone who stays.
Someone who shows up.
Again. And again. And again.

So when he wouldn’t… she did.
Not because she had the strength—
But because love left her no other choice.

Some nights she cries into her pillow so quietly that even the walls don’t hear.
She feels like she’s breaking in two—
But every morning, she gets up anyway.
She wipes her tears, makes breakfast, sends them off with a kiss, and whispers,
“You’re safe. You’re loved. I’ve got you.”
Even when no one’s ever said that to her.

She doesn't want pity.
She doesn’t need praise.
She just wants her child to feel what she never did—
Loved without conditions.
Chosen every day.
Never left behind.

So before you judge the single mum—
Ask yourself:
Where is the man who helped create this child?
And more importantly—
Why did she have to become everything…
Because he decided to be nothing?

She didn’t walk away.
She stepped up.
Because her child deserved more than broken promises and a fading shadow.

Loving Enough to Let Go

2024-11-20T05:21:00.000-08:00

One of the hardest goodbyes happens when you love someone but realize it’s impossible to build a healthy relationship with them.

Staying means holding on to false hopes for change, enduring actions that cause pain, settling for the bare minimum, and losing yourself in the process of trying not to lose them.

Walking away may hurt deeply, but it is the path to healing. Staying, on the other hand, only deepens the wounds.

Sometimes, you choose to leave not because the love has faded, but because your self-love demands you prioritize your well-being. With love, you let go.

Stay blessed.

Letting Go of the Love That Hurt Me

2024-11-20T04:39:00.002-08:00

I still love you, but I’m letting you go. You know how deeply I’ve cared for you, how many times I pleaded for you to treat me better and love me the way I deserved. But time and again, you took me for granted and caused me pain that left me feeling utterly alone—even when I was by your side. My love for you hasn’t faded, but it’s no longer enough to keep me here. The hurt has become too much to bear, and now, I must walk away from the one who makes me feel so invisible.

I won’t ask for your time or attention anymore. I won’t ask you to hold my hand in front of others or to show me that I matter. I won’t ask for your efforts, your affection, or your understanding. I won’t beg you to be honest with me, to choose me, or to stay by my side. I’m done asking for the love I should have never had to beg for in the first place.

I’m letting you go, my love—not because my feelings have changed, but because I can no longer ignore how unimportant I’ve become to you. Maybe, just maybe, you’ll see my worth only after I’m gone. But by then, it will no longer matter.

Witness the story of a woman

2023-09-15T02:10:00.001-07:00

Witness the story of a woman who dedicated two decades to serving her family, believing that they would stand by her side when time comes. She endured betrayal time and again, initially with a heavy heart, then with the hope that promises made would be kept, only to find the cycle of betrayal persisting relentlessly, day after day, month after month, year after year.

In this tragic tale, she clung to the belief that patience, as a mother and a being the backbone of the household, would bring about change. Ironically, she was the family's breadwinner, shouldering all responsibilities, both good and bad.

The backstory unfolds with her rejection by her in-laws, who deemed her unfit as a wife due to her husband's lack of financial contribution. They callously cast her and her one-year-old child out, deaf to her pleas for help. Over time, she returned stronger, but the so called family conveniently forgot the pain they had inflicted.

She embraced them again, thinking it was her past karma that led to her initial inability to contribute financially. However, she was once more subjected to betrayal, especially by her better half, who continued to betray her in every phase of life, albeit stopping short of causing her harm.

Now, the question arises: Should she persist in her responsibilities to the family, or is it time for her to seek her own path to happiness? This story underlines the audacity of the family to pass judgment on her, denying her the freedom to choose her own destiny.

A Letter to My Dear Daughter

2023-03-08T07:11:00.002-08:00

Dear Daughter,

There will always be those who sing your praises, extolling your virtues and the positive impact you have on the world. They may describe you as having the soul of an angel and the grace of a doe. However, there will also be those who treat you poorly, using and abusing you while wanting to see you suffer. They may hurl insults at you and twist your story in unrecognizable ways.

But, my daughter, you must always remember that these are their issues, not yours. They are playing games of angels and demons, while you are simply a girl, and that's perfectly okay. When they try to elevate you to a pedestal and restrict you, simply smile and ask them to stop. And when they drag you through the mud, hold your head high, stand tall, and fight back if you need to.

Choose your own identity and your own path, deciding when and how to wear the hats and labels others try to place on you. Be true to yourself, kind and compassionate to others, and always fight for what is right. Don't be afraid to make mistakes and forgive yourself for your imperfections.

Remember that you are made of stardust, sunshine, butterfly wings, and other beautiful things. Be yourself, my dear girl, and one day become a woman who creates a world where Women's Day is no longer necessary.

Eternal Bliss: A Journey Through Temples of South India's Spiritual Land

2023-01-24T21:09:00.009-08:00

South India is home to some of the most powerful and historically significant temples in India. Recently, I had the privilege of visiting some of South India's most powerful and historically significant temples with the support and company of my closest friends, my besties.. Can't thank enough Anu Senthi, Nita Chaitu.

A journey through the ages,
To temples grand and old,
Where gods and goddesses reside,
And stories are told.

With each step, a new revelation,
A deeper understanding,
Of the power and the magic,
Of this spiritual land.

The carvings on the walls,
The songs of the priests,
The incense and the flowers,
All providing sweet release.

The energy of the deities,
The devotion of the faithful,
All combining to create,
A lifetime spiritual experience.

Through trials and tribulations,
And moments of pure bliss,
This journey has been a guide,
To reach to the ultimate bliss.

A path to enlightenment,
A connection to the divine,
This lifetime spiritual experience,
Will forever be mine.

If you're a temple enthusiast like me (the New me), South India is the perfect destination for you. Recently, I had the opportunity to visit some of the most powerful and historically significant temples in the region, and it was an enlightening and spiritual experience.

First on my list was a visit to the Navagrahalu, or the Nine Temples of Kumbakonam. These temples are dedicated to Lord Shiva and include the Vaideeswaran Koil, Thiruvengadu, Sri Naganatha Swamy, Thirunallar, Thirugnaneshwaram, Alangudi, Surinayar Koil, Kanjanur, and Thingalur. Each temple had its own unique history and significance and it was fascinating to learn about the different deities and their stories.

Next, I visited the Pancha Bhootalu, or the Five Elements Temples. These temples are dedicated to the five elements: water, earth, fire, air, and sky. The Jambukeshwara Temple represents water, the Ekambareshwar represents earth, the Thiruvannamalai represents fire, the Srikalahasthi represents air, and the Natarajan Temple represents sky.

I also had the opportunity to visit the Sakthi Petam, or the Temple of Power, in Kanchi Kamakshi. This temple is dedicated to the goddess Kamakshi, an incarnation of the goddess Parvati. It was a powerful experience to be in the presence of such a strong and powerful deity.

Other notable temples I visited include the Kailasanatha Temple, Mulagananda Paramal - Shiva Kanchi, Vykuntaperumal, Ekambareshwar, Varadaraja Perumal - Vishnu Kanchi, Thanjavur, Mahabalipuram, Ashtalakshmi Temple, Kapaleshwaran Temple, Anantha Padmanabha Swamy Temple, Anjaneya Temple, Unnikrishnan Temple, Parathasarathy Temple, Saibaba Temple in Injambakam, and the Iskon Temple.

Overall, visiting these temples was an incredibly enlightening and spiritual experience. Each temple had its own unique history and significance, and it was fascinating to learn about the different deities and their stories.

I am grateful for the support of my friend, well wisher and besty Senthil, without you this journey would not have been possible.

I wonder which religion did my father believed in?

2022-07-05T22:22:00.001-07:00

I'm not sure if I may call you religious person or a Atheist.

If my memory corrects me, i don't remember you visiting a temple, performing Pooja. You believed in one-self and that is God for you.. you always said keep your inner soul happy and thus you make God Happier.

Your belief "your body is your temple" Keep it clean & healthy. Prepare food as if you are offering 'Nayvedyam'.. feed oneself with love & care, as if you are Feeding The God Himself. be attentive to your body and fulfill its needs.. This is much like a Pooja performed in your own temple & in your words.

The Best way to Please God is not when perform pooja, but when you offer a help to the needy in whatever the capacity you could.

This makes me wonder which religion did my father believed in?

This also reminds me that millinials in these days loosely use 'self love' / 'love yourself'.

The word 'Self-love' is just not a word but it is how to live a happy life. Yes I now realise how fulfilling your life could be.

Nevertheless, I'm slowly trying to unlearn a few and learn to love myself over anything & anyone.

Thank you Naana for being an important part of my life & also help time & again to unearth my happiness within.

May you attain a Eternal Life

Recap - 2021

2021-12-29T22:05:00.006-08:00

The year started with a new professional journey and a new phase of life... I entered the 40s… despite working for a decade, I had to start all over again to prove my credibility. Nevertheless, I’m now used to dealing with such tests again and again.

We sometimes feel that we have mastered our way, be it our personal or a professional life. Just when we think so, life gives us a twist. I thought last year, i.e., 2020 was the toughest year in my life. But as I think of earlier years, I realize that I dealt with so many challenges in 2021. In fact, the last decade has gone by dealing with tough things.

Right from family disputes to losing friends to facing financial crises to dealing with psychological issues, it seems like I have dealt all kinds of issues. The point that I want to make here is not that I’m a wonder woman, but all those in their 40s have faced these issues in one way or the other. These are all very common in one’s life.

This line from Bhagavad Gita gave a new perspective to my life:

“karmany-evadhikaras te ma phaleshu kadachana

ma karma-phala-hetur bhur ma te sango ’stvakarmani”

This means,

“You have a right to perform your prescribed duties, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions. Never consider yourself to be the cause of the results of your activities, nor be attached to inaction.”

Until now, I thought this verse is was impossible to follow. but, after seeing half of my life (for some reason, I feel l live till 80 years), I believe that it is possible to practice. I have started practicing some of these verses and I already feel that I’m in the path of attaining peace.

My suggestion to the younger generation is - “Never judge” “Never attach yourself to anything or anyone”

I’ll continue to find ways to stay in peace. Welcoming the next half of my life with 2022

Dear little Gudiya, you are no longer a baby...

2021-09-28T04:54:00.004-07:00

Dear little Gudiya, you are no longer a baby...

I never realized how swiftly time flew. You turn 13 today, you are now called a teenager and you will continue to grow up, become a young adult. I realize that you are no longer a baby…

The one who travelled states, countries, won numerous medals was a little baby then. But now you have started questioning things around you and not settle for simple explanations. I realize that you are no longer a baby…

When you are eager to learn new things and choose to become more independent, I realize that you are no longer a baby…

You are proud to take on responsibilities and always do your best. It only shows that you are ready for your next stage in your life. I realize that you are no longer a baby…

You are unique in the way you are. Keep chasing your dreams. Remind yourself that nothing stops you from what you wish to achieve. I realize that you are no longer a baby…

You are lucky more than you think, just believe in yourself everything will come to you at the right time. Keep faith.

Yes, I understand that you are no longer a baby but every time I look at you, I will always see that baby who opened her eyes for the first time. You will always be my baby.

I’m living the next generation through you.

My thoughts on your 4th commemoration, Nanna

2021-07-21T07:13:00.003-07:00

I did not know the true meaning of "Sanyasa Ashrama" then, but, as the years pass, I recall each of your acts Nanna and understand the true essence of what you tried to convey to us through your lifestyle after retirement.

You said you are done with your responsibility in raising your children

You said you'll not get involved yourself in any worldly matters

You said, not to look upon you further for anything

You asked us to deal with our matters

I didn't know that you were preparing us for the day when we would have to live without you, Nanna

I didn't know that I'll have to face all responsibilities alone for the rest of my life, Nanna

I didn't know that I'll have to keep my emotions all to myself

I didn't know that you were leaving me, Nanna...

You bound your children together at all times Nanna and I promise we will stand together forever.

Now I know what "The Sanyasa Ashrama" means. It is the final stage of life, in which one has to give up everything and strive solely for liberation through sadhana. The aim was to reach the final goal of human life, moksha or liberation from samsara-or God-realization.

I believe that you have been liberated from human life and attained Moksha...released from the cycle of rebirth.

Count Your Blessings

2021-06-30T03:55:00.007-07:00

There's always a big question we want to ask ourselves even when no one questions us... & i.e.

What if
We are born in reckless & take it easy parents?

What if
One of the parents be it a Father or a Mother hasn't been an income source till we completed education?

What if
We had health hazards & would not have survived till we wrote or read this today?

The above & beyond phases, not to mention, A Like-minded Spouse, A disciplined children, 'What if's Life So Far isn't smoother as it seemed.

Hence for every 'What If's' there's a word, a line which sums up every phase Which we Traditionally call "Count Your Blessings"

A Happy International Women's Day

2021-03-07T23:12:00.002-08:00

The Need of The Hour is Nonetheless Humanity. The Primary to Post Graduate teachers, the Mentors to a Spiritual guru & of course The Parent to a lover, influence us to only some extent but 'Pandemic' was a rebirth of some sort. I for a change stopped understanding what is going around but instead understood more of ME.

I learned not to be conscious on perfection, rather i learned to be original & real. I learned that Comparison brings to the table Copying.

There is nothing Like to Limit ourselves as Good and there is not much Bad either, I learned not to be suppressed in between these two opposite words, but just being ME Mattered most. Do what i think is Right, Listen to the inner voice & stand Tall for the people i Consider them as Mine.

Be it a Spouse or a kid, the role we play & frame ourselves to be eternally unconditional is to be introspected again, because in a mutual admiration calling each other with a magical word called 'Love You' is more or less a casual one liner in present days.

To Bring another new life into the world, both Man & Woman are equally The Designers God Made. Hence it is better to stop looking at a Man as a bread winner & a Woman as a home maker. exchange the portfolios & see, there is nothing a woman cannot do what a man could do.

The Word Multi-Tasking Might suit a Woman more as she can (apart from bearing & giving birth) Raise a child, manage the kitchen & does a job to Earn.. such effortless works definitely need a lot of appreciation from a Man, encourage her in all the areas where he can, it's nothing wrong to treat himself as a spectator. no need to have Ego here at AT ALL. The House then becomes a Home.

Joy - There is joy in every first

2020-09-03T00:30:00.003-07:00

There is joy in every first:

the sun's first rays
smell of the first rain
your child's first word
your first love
the first pay check
the first praise from your boss
the first time you made someone laugh

Happiness lies in living and giving. You could also be the first to bring joy in someone's life. Seize that opportunity when it comes. The joy of giving is the only joy that lasts forever.

Self-quarantine - The New Normal

2020-07-08T02:46:00.001-07:00

Uncertainty, testing days to get over, we tend to feel blue though this looks much safer than what is happening a few yards away..

We get Panicky for so much Gloominess around.,

A Self-quarantine is all about like A 'Safe House' we will be with our very own, we call them our loved ones, on any other day Its time to overcome a notion that we don't give time to each other due to the everlasting pre-schedules in careers & goals etc., Now We are finally there but only in a Structural form & not willing to let loose our minds from a devastating chaos a fiction movie kind of images we witnessed in such quick time outside the house, i.e just few meters away from what we call a safe self quarantine..

Quarantine is also a tricky one, for all those who live/ like/ love the world of isolation; they'll feel blessed & grateful.

Unless my dear friends, this word ‘Quarantine’ will not become another nightmarish term, as dreadful as Corona.

We only hope & Pray that the Human Kind just remain in numbers, but definitely not like as an Evaporating smoke & nothing else.

How is our rich Indian culture coping with this? There is no better time for man to remind himself of an English word – ‘Introspection’. Corona made the world get up and take note. It won’t need that ‘hype’ anymore, as in such modern… oh sorry… ultra-modern days, Corona is making everyone run helter-skelter. It not only brought the aeroplanes down, but also the high flying tycoons down to earth, our Motherland. I am sure if not anyone, a mother would be heaving a sign of relief seeing her family sit and eat together the food she has been cooking forever!

Across the globe, we were only surviving under a strong ‘hype’. Countries, instead of ruling their respective voters only focused on featuring themselves before prefixed cameras, speak out of scripted pages on how their cash-rich products or infrastructure is one-of-a-kind in our times, thus projecting to the eager looking rest of the globe that “if not for inventing this, the world wouldn’t have survived…” Blah blah blah!

Media has a role; it goes crazy; UN is ready with a pre-prepared vote of thanks. Self-declared entrepreneurs donning expensive suits are on front pages of world’s best magazines. Few more nations follow suit to compel the world to notice their ‘good for nothing’ (oops!), good for ‘only bigwigs’ inventions.

In such a circus, China had different ideas. There is something about China; it spends more time in laboratories than homes. China’s hunger to call themselves a super power is never satiated; that’s different pedestal altogether!

The world has witnessed a lot of viruses in the past and made some into household names. Of course, countries feared them, but by the time Corona arrived, someone reminded a corporate success mantra called ‘Updated Version’.

Well, Corona definitely surpasses every previous (recorded) damage, and the best part is, (sorry worst part is) Corona is here to settle down, but it just hates humans to see in its neighbourhood, I suppose.

So, now when the world is under lockdown, the never ending issue based headlines – (read) Nationalism, Uniformity, Reservations, Racism, Terrorism, Migration, Political War or Legacies, Retirement plans aka benefits – nothing seem relevant. Sit at home or hide inside; save your lives. Coming out of the house is a crime today. Well done, Corona.

My letter to you Nanna

2020-06-10T03:06:00.000-07:00

I'm just Holding a Pen in my hand, thoughts may be mine alone, but the ink is definitely You nanna..

I grieve how our relation could have been, would have been or should have been, had the things been any different.. But just then, I realize the hard reality of Nature & ie the loss is Inevitable, though it feels heavy until one accepts..

Off late, I’ve known the other side of life without you, the loss takes different paths. Sometimes the loss also takes the shape of someone I knew well. We build psychological/ emotional connection even before we realise ourselves.. No wonder you have chosen people to be close, just to make me feel fuller, like you always intended..

Today on your birthday, I don’t want to remember that you left in physical form, But, I wish to Smile through the day remembering it as the day of a 'father daughter endeavour'..

One such memory down the lane was your granddaughter winning a Gold medal at one of the Nationals & when we come back from that tournament, Your happiness is still registered as a fresh one.. And around the same time I wanted to gift you something special, I dared giving you a wine bottle, I was hesitant though to present, gathered my courage which was more of Love than anything else, finally gifting you with shivering hands., & To my surprise you accepted it gracefully, but also asked me to accompany you…

You know naana how I felt that moment, my happiness knew no limit, No daughter(in the family at least) could ever think of gifting wine to her father & here i own the craziest (to people) but amazing (to me) a chance of cheering the glass with you..

I cherished each & every moment in phases spent with you Nanna.. Love you still & Miss you dearly..

Iam penning this thus also to express my thanks to a person who stood by me as a fatherly figure.. Who time & again makes me realise that relations always don't have to be biological but can be emotional.

It's not an overstatement from your grown up girl nanna, but Iam grateful enough for 'talking to me through Life' that after you left a physical form, you are living in spirit in someone else's.. & I'm glad to know that someone is the man I knew so well..

For anyone on to a woman, It's easier to give advices, but the most powerful guidance comes from this person at an incredible time needed, one who walks the walk—not just talks the talk... RIP nanna, i feel iam safer now, until life offers more..

My period story

2020-06-02T22:36:00.005-07:00

I was 13 years old and had just finished my annual exams, when one day I started bleeding. I was scared looking at the blood coming out from my body. Something did not feel right and I thought I fell ill. My mother noticed my agony and nonchalantly told me I had turned into a woman. She said whatever I was experiencing was a taboo and should not be discussed with anyone else. She did not explain what was happening with me. She explained how to use a sanitary pad but then it was referred to in code words. Months passed and slowly I got to learn about the cycle which would happen every month.

However, I was unable to manage my pain in the lower abdomen, but could not discuss it with anyone.

On those particular days, I used to stay in bed and didn't do anything. My dad observed my suffering. When I told him about my pain, he counselled me and put me on treatment for about 6 months. That helped me both mentally and physically.

Fast-forward to 2020, I'm close to 40 years now and mother of an adolescent girl. My child knows about periods quiet well. I have discussed with her about how a girl grows up and her school has also conducted sessions. I'm glad 'periods' is no more a taboo for her. But, I feel sad when I see people treating menstruating women as impure. I hope to see a 'periods' taboo free generation on this Menstruation Hygiene Day.

I'm stronger than ever before

2020-03-07T21:34:00.000-08:00

Thanks to all the people

Who said I'm made for the kitchen; I'm better at multitasking too.
Who didn't have the courage to support me; I don't need your support anymore.
Who said I can only be better at home; I'm creating a better world too.
Who said I'm made for reproduction; I'm renovating the system too.
Who judged me for all the wrong reasons; I'm beyond your imagination now.
Who said I'm fragile; I'm stronger than ever before.

You made me stand where I'm today.

People who questioned my freedom; you are still taking pride in the name of a 'weak gender'.
For all you know, I'm a fe'male', and that's an extension of 'male'.
A prefix.

Last decade has been full of the highest of highs and lowest of lows. I guess that's what a life is..

I learnt that,

Not being perfect is also ok
To care my health
To be kind to myself and,
To stand for what I believe..

Last decade is an end story.
This decade, I wish to live my life fully! Listen to my soul for it knows what I want.

Life is a secret battle

Life is a secret battle:

You never know what's coming up, until you turn your page

You never know who will stick by your side, until the twist comes

You never know who will walk out from your life, until you are left behind

You never know whether you are in the path to success or failure, until you rise or fall

Everything remains a secret until you unveil that secret

I wish, this NewYear2020 brings everybody lots of love, Joy, Success, and peace.

I fear to exist in this world

I fear being a girl
I fear to go to school
I fear to face the public
I fear to make friends
I fear to walk alone on the road
I fear to drive alone
I fear to go out for work
I fear to step out with friends
I fear to stay single
I fear to get married
I fear to give birth to a daughter
I fear to raise a girl
I fear to be a mother
I fear to get my daughter married
I fear taking every step in my life.

What do I do?
I shouldn't have been born?
I shouldn't exist in this world?
I should end my life?
Is that the price?
