Life's Battery & Eternal Bonding:

Today I sit to realise what is "Blessing in Disguise"? Blessed are those who have the love of their dear ones at all times. Fourteen years of my life was sheer bliss and indulgence in my parents love womb. Guess that was considered little too much in my plate. I was made to loose my Dad only to realize the value of my Mum. Is that a "Blessing in Disguise"?? Today is his Birthday, and what do I have to wish for and from him??

I had a better chemistry with Dad than with Mum when he left us. I was in 9th standard and the only understanding of death was, I will not see my Dad anymore during my lifetime. Reality creped in as days moved on. House that was in vaccum, Happiness a thing of the past and Outing was out of dictionary. If a year and half of married life has taught me what is Family, I can understand what it would have been for my mother with 14 years of married life having shared so much in her life together with my Dad.

It’s been 12 yrs since my Dad left us. We both have sailed across a major share of our lives and to mention with absolute no helping hand in our lives journey. What we share is not a mere Mother – Daughter relationship.

My Mum is my best friend who knows every secrets of my life, my support system who I cannot substitute, energizer who lifts me up everyday and my life’s battery without whom I don’t function. The confidence in her, challenge towards life, morale & dedication in bringing me up is what has made our life successful. Proud to say My Mum is the sole contributor of my life today.

I run through my memory lane to see the days of the past. As solitary reapers Mum & I were knotting the broken ends of the life with no clue of what is in future for us. Hardships of life, challenges in front, and struggle for better life are the dark room stories at the same time experiments with life, joy of indulging in each other and happy moments are the treasures that I cherish for my life. Today I see a life where we have successfully come through. A future that is promised!! Well, these are the gifts in return for our tears. An unfair deal but only a better compensation!!

Today I live miles away from her at the mercy of Skype binding us everyday. My morning starts with her on Skype and the day ends with her on Skype. I recall the days when I was away from home, working in Pondicherry and Chennai. My battery life (meant: without seeing her) was for 3 weeks and today I see it going strong even after 7 or 8 months. May be another relationship is gaining power; to win over the blend in us is a tuff battle though.

The happiness we see today is the new relationship. Two Solitary reapers replaced with a Musical Play of Five and what we have gained in life is something more than what I had asked for…
