I am greatly inspired by Meira’s post. And from here on I am also resolved to post more frequently even if it is a mere, the way Meira puts it, “Hi. Wassup?”
So yes. I have not been blogging. I have taken a sabbatical, I went for a beach holiday where I lay on a hammock and sipped mojitos and watched sunsets. I have started baking…
…I opened IHM’s blog at this point. I cried. I left a comment. I want to do more than that and I can’t. The news about her daughter has left me numb and helpless.
And no, I have not taken a sabbatical. I have not taken any vacation by the beach or any vacation at all for that matter. There have been no hammocks. No mojitos and definitely no baking. I have missed many sunsets or watched them from my car while twiddling my thumbs in the Delhi traffic. I have been buried neck-deep in work. I have been worrying too much about my mother. Trying to keep the monsters hiding under my bed from coming out and taking over my life.
I have been looking everywhere for a little bit of peace and I can’t seem to find it at all.
But today, I have been reminded, that it is important to face tragedy and live with it. It is important to think about memories and smile. It is important to let go of the bitterness and make peace with the heart ache.
Yes, today I have been reminded once more, that life indeed goes on.
Leave a thought for IHM here please. She is fighting a fight that many of us cannot even begin to imagine.
