I'm fire ..he's ice!

 




"Control your temper, else you won't fit in your in-laws house after marriage", my mom's favourite line to nag me.

"Why should I fit in? Why shouldn't there be adjustment from both sides?", would be my counter argument.

"Learn some basic cooking dear", my mom's earnest appeal to me.

"Will marry a restaurant-wala mom, don't worry, our tiffins will come from the restaurant's kitchen", my response.

"This girl is Fire, hope she doesn't get a Rudra Avatar fellow", my mom's prayers.

"Chill mom, there will be some Ice somewhere for this Fire", I would say, winking, to her.

And finally, without any Hartalika Vrat, no Sola Somwaars, neither observing any Upwas, the embers in me cooled down, when I met this cool dude!

Yah! He was a cool dude, his dressing, his thoughts, were quite modern, also he was cool and full of patience. I know, a total contrast to my personality, butas they say, opposites attract, yah! that's that.

This Ice, actually a verglas, with his high tolerance threshold, caught hold of my eyes. The decency and politeness with which he spoke, his smile (...Damn! Still makes me fall head over heels!), was enough to handle my flak.

My parents were in awe, as to, where did I find someone to juxtapose me. They didn't oppose, on the contrary were overwhelmed and quickly fixed our marriage dates.( So that the bait doesn't escape.)

My mom couldn't do for years, what this Ice did....he actually dumbfounded me.

My Bhola Shankar, dresses soberly, while I love dressing up. My better half is better than this half here (I wouldn't agree more). He, most of the time has a slab of ice on his head, while I blurt out without thinking (later on I do apologise, if and when I realise my mistake!).

It's like an balancing act. He completes my shortcomings and I.......ummm feed him delicious food! ( Cause he is a foodie).... which reminds me, our likes and dislikes are entirely different too.

He loves non-veg, am a veggie fan. He loves loud music, am into sad songs. He loves figs and I....don't know how people eat it. So, in a nutshell, this too is so fire and ice. The only thing that connects our appetite is chocolate. 

We are sailing together 19 years now, sometimes he rows faster, to reach the deep oceans, sometimes I row to the opposite, cause am afraid of depth. Even so, we are sailing ahead, looking in same direction, the direction of our love!!!

                

AUTHOR'S NOTE:  "He is ice, cool and composed, I am fire, dreams burning in my eyes!"

    जुई...खुपच छान व्यक्त झालीस. असं सगळं सहज मान्य करणं सगळ्यांनाच जमतं असं नाही.तु म्हणालीस तसं opposite pols attract.असो तुम्ही दोघंही एकमेकांना समजून घेता कुणीतरी पडती बाजू घेतली तरच संसाराचं रहाटगाडगं नीट चालतं.हे तुम्ही सिद्ध केलंय.मला अभिमान वाटतो दोघांचा.असेच आनंदाने संसार करा.

Diary 2024

  And 2024 ends..... What a roller coaster ride!  Every year passes by and the new year comes afore, leaving you with something and making you leave something.  It would be quite odd if time doesn't indoctrinate our minds. This year taught me so much, like the previous one and the prior ones too! I have learnt valuable lessons thanks to 2024. The year was challenging, demanding yet gratifying.  What I grasped this year would be exemplar for rest of my life!  The fear of losing your close ones, leaves you petrified. While the close ones are battling, struggling with all their mights, you feel helpless even when you have honest intentions of support. Mental support, yes that can be given in abundance, there's no ceiling to it. But the one you intend to support is going through so much that sometimes just being there, showing up is also helpful.  Sleepless nights, nightmares haunted me for days. But then when you see them valiantly striving and vanquishing the...

Moira : Bound to happen! Chapter - 1.

She was sitting on the bench under the huge tree. Its extensive branches covered few more benches around. The park was a hangout place for teenagers. It was a playground for children and a perfect site for the exercise enthusiasts. People jogged, wearing headphones, determined to shed those extra kilos and be fitter, sticking to their new year resolutions, was a familiar sight here.  Yuga wasn't feeling the vibe today. She had left home as usual, early in the morning, in her tracks and tee to run a few miles, but after three rounds she just sat down on the bench. She saw an old lady taking rounds, walking slowly, but with vigour. The tree was shedding it's aged golden leaves. One such tanned foliole fell beside Yuga on the bench. She picked it up and let it descend on the ground. She switched off the songs playing on her phone. With air pods in her ears, she sat inert on the bench. She closed her eyes and could hear the birds chirping. "They are so happy even at the break ...

What's your plan?

 "You've to score good grades at school!" "You've to do your Olympiads!" "You need to have a co-curricular activity or some sports activity!" "You should be able to dance or sing or play a musical instrument!" Oh my my! So much pressure on these little one's learning to adapt and traverse the lanes and by lanes of this complicated world. "But its a rat race! He/she needs to figure it out sooner. Studies, career, universities, the stress builds up as they advance into their grades (classes), isn't it?" Yes, true. It's a tough task for the coming generations. Population is ever increasing. Even though the colleges and courses are increasing in numbers but we have no say on the quality of education they impart. Also the leading universities and colleges are always the first priority, obviously. So the newbies are looked down upon. Also the reservations hinder the paths of many. Well, so what score is a good enough score...
