    Younger crowd is definitely not bad! I am highly appreciative of their guts, drive and achievements. I have even written a poem on this topic!
    Well said, dear, we have to change according to the circumstances and time.:thumbup:

    Very interesting and gripping write up @GeetaKashyap :clap2::clap2:
    The busy life of Mumbai, the thought process of a woman as a wife and mother, and comparison of life with a simple and yet very tasty dish Bhelpuri... everything depicted very thoughtfully and creatively.:thumbup:

    Hi Geeta
    As soliloquies go you have beautifully illustrated the controversial thoughts crowding a mother's mind.
    One moment she is worrying that her daughter is not getting married and the next she believes that her daughter is doing the right thing.

    One moment she wallows in self pity
    ...
    and then goes through the treacherous Mumbai roads to get the makings of Bhel puri putting her family above her discomforts.

    Even when she has the chance to go to England and have time for herself, she puts family first.

    And finally leaving everything to God is the complete touch. The ultimate truth!:thumbup:

    I will only be repeating myself if I said what a talented writer also you are!:worship2:

    Dear kkrish,

    With your deeper understanding of what I have written, you made my day. Thanks a million for your kind words.

    Aren't we all like this somewhere, sometime? We may crib and grumble but we find it so difficult to carve out some 'me time' or prioritise ourselves! We need modern gurus to scream from every media page, again and again, to drive the point that our wellness is equally important! Often a woman's sacrifice and compromise is construed as a her fickle mindedness while I think it is actually her deeper love and devotion that is so difficult to comprehend.:)

    Well Geeta, the bhelpuri looks very yummy..For a second I just thought is Geeta 60 plus.?..Should I address her as mam from her next post?
    Today Morning I was thinking What all I need to earn before I am 40years..I was thinking exactly as you narrated..when will I start living my life..?Childhood dad was very strict..So I used to think after marriage life will be awesome....and then after marriage the feeling was like I should have enjoyed before marriage..should have got lots of friends to hangout and so on...and now definitely more commitments....

    Thanks, dear Ammu, for this candid feedback. Well, I still have many more years to go before turning 60! I am comfortable with 'Geeta', so, please continue to call me so.:)

    Well, my sincere opinion is, while it is important to plan for our future and work on all our commitments, it is equally important to make the most of each day. In planning for tomorrow our today shouldn't be lost. Even if major wishes have to wait for whatever reason, let our little wishes and dreams be fulfilled, let our soul be nourished and loved! Just 2 days back I told a friend that in this world everyone loves themselves before loving others and we don't have to feel guilty to show love, compassion and kindness to ourselves first. But let me clarify that this self-love is not indulgence or arrogance.:hearteyes:
