One month……

To all those who came to the blog for new posts, I apologize. Last one month I have realized and understood that "No man is an island."

What's new you ask? It's new to me. All this while I sincerely believed I can take care of everything in my life. In case of any challenges, speak to people; ask them what to do, but do it yourself has been my policy. All this changed last month.

I am self-dependent person. I don't ask anyone for favors. But I realized there will be days when you cannot wake up from bed, when you cannot cook your own meals, when you cannot tie a sari yourself, when you cannot comb your hair and may more…

It was difficult. I fought all these and put up a brave face saying I can do all this. Tomorrow will be normal. How wrong I was. I had to accept that my life has changed.

Am I sounding too negative? Well if so, then let me correct that. The biggest realization of all was that "Even when you do not ask for help, even when you deny others help and say you can manage, parents know the best." My mom and dad traveled the next week and I cannot tell you how I felt that day. No one in life can match the love, affection, and care of parents. I thank God for blessing me with such wonderful parents and pray for their happiness and well being every single day.
