The " Someday" That Never Came .

Dear Susila,
Congrats for the post winner. Really ur SIL is great in the sense she doesn't regret for lost dreams & hope to achieve them in next birth.I wish let God help her to achieve i this birth itself whatever possible.

There are so many women prior to our generation who lost their dreams in domestic core & there were severe constraints also.my mother though studied up to 12th only can write even 50 pages in English in neat handwriting. Sometimes she use to envy me in studies matter as my father had decided to give at least graduation to all seven children despite large joint family,financial constraints etc.I even asked my mother after my father's sudden death due to heart attack @ 55, I will make arrangements for ur stay in hostel,U study medicine & become a doctor like Dr.Subbalakshmi. I think she is the first woman doctor in Tamilnadu. My mother refused as all my five brothers were not married then. Her life turned to domestic core as usual .She looked after my son also as i was employed & my MIL ,very nice lady died at early age (my mother's uncle' aunt).

Unknowingly i had brought my Pitrus in this episode & i am really feel happy about it. The MAHALAYAM during that period ( 15 days) Pitrus visit the heirs houses & wait for their PINDA. So many people do Tharpanam on the Thithi day of in laws if it falls during the period or Bharani / Ashtami thithis falling during the period.Many go to riverbeds like Ganga,Kaveri , Thungapadra, Tamiraparani etc. do tharpanam. Good for Pitrus as well as family.

Well written SCsusila!!

The story of "Someday" has surely made everyone wonder about themselves. We need to try and do whatever possible rather than keeping everything for the so called "Someday"
Thanks for reminding us Scsusila.
