    For those of us who no longer have a parents’ home to go back to, it can feel like there’s nowhere to completely fall apart. There’s no mother to call or visit when we need to vent, to hear comforting stories from our childhood, or to have someone cook our favorite meal without us asking.

    Where do you go—emotionally or physically—when you need to break down a little, cry, be angry, or ask for what you need without feeling judged?

    How do you cope when you don’t have that built-in refuge anymore? Where do you go to let your guard down? To break, to cry, to be angry, to ask for what you need without apology?

    Not to divert from the original topic but speaking of idly express, quality has gone downhill since it opened. I had ordered food from there and found someones fake eyelash in it.

    And have you ever noticed that if you whine to chatgpt it gently takes your side and finds fault with the other person?

    But such women r not alone in this. There are thousands young women suffer identical situation all over the world but somehow they all pull on and many too will. I empathise with all of them.
    The situation at " Mother’s home" may not be now same for few. That home is no more safe and secure for few.

    Interesting.
    Once my spouse was in depressed mood as she could not go to her mother’s place when her mother was indisposed and needed her. At that time food was ordered from hotel and fried rice contained a tiny piece of elastic sewed to men’s brief. Her depressed state for time being vanished as she directed her energies in lodging complaint to the hotel. When the replacement was supplied without any demur, she was glad that she won a small victory but it gave her a mighty relief.

    In USA go on a week or two week even month long cruise. Book a cheapest inside room. Just you need a room and food. There is a saying in Tamil ("thikkatravarku theivame thunai") God is the help for those who have no help. In India temple tour or tour packages can be booked with reputed travels. They would book all hotel stays and meal arrangements. Me too no where to go, so thought about these options.

    I agree 100% here.
    Intense prayers at religious sthal used to bestow the much needed peace serenity equanimity and clarity which in turn bring all other needs!
    Once a group of my class mates in March - before a month of university degree exam - discussed as to who would secure first class second class and failures.
    It was dusk near victoria hostel and we were about to call it a day. Class mate Vasu put Revathy, Ananth and Sankaranarayanan would all secure easily first class and few would pass in II and III CLASS. Among failures he included Our Casanova Balaram & me .
    I was crestfallen of his assessment and stood shocked as my other class mates did agree with his averment.

    That was the moment, I determined to do better and thought of ways and means to better my studies to secure atleast a pass. We dispersed and enroute home, a lady friend of my mom saw and read from my face sadness. She did enquire why I look depressed. I told her my pal's statement.
    She suggested a visit to a particular tank deity and offer payers + 108 pradhakshana daily.

    Instead going home, I walked direct to the Triplicane Parathasarathy Temple Tank and did begin worship Lord hanuman- a deity scupted on the vertical side of one of the steps leading to the huge tank full of water.

    Around the tank deity climbing huge steps was bit onerous for 108 pradhakshana but I did and it took almost an hour.

    Same night I happen to befriend a loyala college senior and he guided me with his physics notes.
    I was regular in my daily evening prayer and 108 pradhakshana of Lord Hanuman and wrote the exam. I could answer all questions in all papers correctly including problems.
    A telegram from my class mates received at my friends place in near pattukottai near Nammakal on May 27th May 1964* message reading "Congrats. you are declared passed in First Class - venkat & Raman" .
    From a distant Munucipal loudspeaker a song was wafting through morning breeze - oli mayamana edhir kalam en ullathil therigiradhu - from a tamil movie பச்சை விளக்கு. ( green light)
