She to Herself

She sat in her sofa lost in thoughts
"Aren't you coming" heard a voice from behind. "Get ready fast they are about to reach we shouldn't get late" that was the final call from her mother. She puts herself presentable with a fake smile on her face. She stood in front of the mirror
"Where am I going. I'm not ready for this"
"No, you should witness that, which is the only way to get out of this"
"But I don't want to"
"Why? You still?"
" Yes!"
" But then why didn't you? Everyone waited for your opinion"
"How can I bring back those days "
" You can't"
" Yes I can't I've lost it"
"Look up Look up, your family shouldn't know about this so no tears on cheeks"
Paru usually has this habit of talking to herself, mirror is the best companion for instance
A car came to take them to an auditorium
"Hey Paru, how are you"
"How's your job"
"Finally you achieved it na proud of you Betta"
"Paru don't forget about the treat"
All these sounds were vague for her. She was blank she was lost. She took a seat. She could hear her heartbeat and feel the unstable eyes
"Stay still, he'll be arriving now"
"Smile Paru"
"He's coming look over there"
"If you can't control yourself why did you came here? Do you want to get rid of this then look.. look at him"
"Look at her beautiful?"
" Yea They do match"
" If it was me I would have selected brown saree"
" That was your place, you only denied it na"
"But I thought only of my career I just had only that in my mind"
"Did I hurt him?"
"I doesn't want anyone to get hurt but then it was all about my dreams"
"Stop this Paru, don't start again why are you here? "
"I know I have never told you this before but today in the presence of everyone your family I think I should say that I loved you and I never want to lose you"
"Control your tears Paru it's a public place"
" Omg did he looked at me right now.. did he saw my tears, I will miss all this things from now"
"He's tying knot.. skip a heartbeat .. officially married"
"Will he tell to her about me"
" Paru let's finish this he's married he's starting a new life today erase him from your thoughts"
"Hmmm"
"I can't erase him, I will love him till my last breath.. you'll be my secret crush, I will take care of you more than your wife"
"Jealous?"
"No it's just I am not ready to leave him to anyone.. will love him just the way it should be"
"Let him be in his fifties or sixties I'll be always his Paru"
She smiled looking at him her tears were more visible now she walked down not from his memories but from the life of the new bride.
Some sacrifices for yourself is good.. only a hurted mind can control it.

Celebrating Navaratri: A Kaleidoscope of Traditions in India

India, a land of vibrant diversity, is a tapestry of cultures, languages, and traditions. This diversity is perhaps most vividly on display during Navaratri, a Hindu festival celebrated for nine nights and ten days each year. While the core essence of Navaratri remains consistent – the worship of the divine feminine goddess Durga – the ways in which it is celebrated vary greatly across different regions of India. At the heart of Navaratri lies the ancient legend of the battle between goddess Durga and the demon king Mahishasura, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil. This festival serves as a spiritual reminder of the eternal struggle between light and darkness. The nine days of Navaratri are dedicated to the worship of each of the nine distinct avatars of the goddess. The Seasonal Significance Navaratri is not a one-size-fits-all festival. According to the Hindu calendar, there are four seasonal Navaratri celebrations. However, it's the post-monsoon autumn Navaratr

Are You a Parent Sharing Your Child's Life Online? Here's What You Need to Know

  In the ever-connected digital world, social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and YouTube have transformed into virtual scrapbooks where proud parents showcase their children's lives. This phenomenon, known as "sharenting," has witnessed an explosive surge in popularity. While it offers an avenue for parents to celebrate their child's milestones, it also opens a Pandora's box of concerns regarding the security and privacy of these little digital natives. Child psychiatrists and law enforcement agencies resoundingly underscore the pivotal role parents play in preserving their child's digital legacy. Overzealous sharing, they caution, may lead to unforeseen consequences. It's not merely a matter of being aware of what is shared; it's a call to refrain from reducing a child's experiences to mere "content." The potential hazards of sharenting are increasingly coming to light. In an era where digital threats loom large, a deli

Why it's so hot now: India's Heat Wave Crisis

Let's look into the details to understand the current situation, its underlying causes, and what can be done to mitigate its impact. Image credits: The Academic What is a Heat Wave? A heat wave isn't just a hot day or two; it's an extended period of exceptionally high temperatures coupled with humidity. During a heat wave, hot air gets trapped near the ground, creating a dome-like effect that prevents cooler air from moving in. This phenomenon is often caused by high-pressure systems in the atmosphere, which act like a lid, locking the heat in. Why is India Experiencing Severe Heat Waves? Several factors contribute to the intensity and frequency of heat waves in India. Climate change stands out as a significant driver, altering weather patterns and exacerbating extreme heat events.
