When your Daughter is your Bestie!

I am blessed with an Angel who was bestowed upon me 10 years ago from Heaven above. I quit working the time I came to know I’m pregnant. Luckily, I was working for my pleasure and growth and not for any financial constraints, so was easier. Seeing her grow has been a beautiful story in itself. Her first smile, her first flip, her first tooth, the first time she walked, all milestones in themselves. Incomparable with anyone else. Since the beginning I’ve kept myself and her out of the competition and comparison race. I’ve enjoyed each and every moment of her cute and innocent childhood. I had severe anxiety issues when she started playschool, but when I saw her going and coming out happily from there, that was motivation enough for me. Gradually, we settled into a routine. I ride a 2 wheeler, which she loved that time. She called it her plane, to fly away with her mommy.

#100WORDSSTORY Love is the 2 of us

Riya was all calm and poised, she pointed ahead and looked at Rahul, this is going to be us for the rest of our lives, you sure, you’re up to it?

#100WORDSSTORY LOVE - FROM ONE HEART TO ANOTHER

The melodious song playing on the radio soothed my soul, it transported me back to the time when we first met, she swishing her arms and legs the moment the cloth swaddling her was untied.

Riya is now 12 years old and the best thing that has happened to us. “CHOTI SI NANHI SI PYAARI SI AAYI KOI PARI” I hummed along.

#100WORDSSTORY NEW BEGINNINGS !

Payal and Shalu looked apprehensively around them. Everything looked different. The clean corriders, white washed classroom walls, the hustle bustle of children around them.

#100WORDSSTORY THAT RAINY NIGHT!

Sheetal rushed out of the high rise, which was her workplace since the last 5 years. It was raining. She jumped into the cab and reached the day care. Riya, her daughter hugged her and both started talking about their day. Being a single mom, she didn’t have it easy, but it was better than the constant mental and physical abuse she had endured in her seven years of marriage. Worthless! Was what she was called. One night he raised his hand on Riya. She picked up her crying daughter and walked into the RAIN to never return.
