Celebrating life - celebrating myself

(Photo: Somak Bhattacharya - All copyrights reserved)

I came as a loud bumper in the otherwise straight life of my parents.

I came as a flower to shower their mutual affection

I painted my cheeks - yellow and black with tiny color pens

And mamma, looked from the end of the newspaper – A tiger in the fence.

I have a brother- a right one in the middle of the other

I played with him – Kitchenset, teaset and homeway runs.

None of the games he played, found their way to favorites

We fought over – chocolates and reading books

And anything and everything that came in our way

I am NOW a wife and a woman

Making my path on this trail

Learning to stand despite getting failed

I balance the shades of work and home

I sometimes make the Dal spicier for taste

And sometimes forget to throw the leftover and waste

I keep a check of things in my diary

Driving on highways gets me wary

I like the pen more than these keys

I like the colors more than the white

I do things without reason

And don’t do some with a self-invented mission

I worry about the pimples even when are absent

I love myself – my life and my presence.

I know the darkest secrets about myself. I know what I am but I am not sure what I should be. I am puzzled and I am angered. I like to eat and go out but enjoy the silent dinners as well. I have lived life with reason and affection. I like mathematics but often do errors in calculation. I like the red but pink makes me feel younger. I stare at the girls who are much too curvy and achieve satisfaction when I see someone a pant size bigger. I am conscious about my clothes and what I wear. I smile without a reason and much out of love for life.

 I celebrate myself today!! Yes, I am a Jeanie in a bottle and I can open my bottle on my wish.

I am a woman who has made a meaning of my life. I wish and will go a step higher each and each stride….
