I Am My Favourite And I Love This Feeling

I enjoy my me time alone...my pictures come super duper happy because for a change I cater to my needs.

Kajal Madnani

I am a mom, a wife and a dedicated housewife….driver to my kid…tuition teacher, project maker.., the bill payer on apps..the store manager…ordering grocery on the app..the substitute if the maid is absent…officially. My schedule is never ending….preparing breakfasts, lunch tiffins evening snacks and dinner catering to my 11year old son’s taste, my corporate hubby and my in laws with completely different tastes.

Where is the M.Com. postgraduate, the fitness freak, the passionate solo traveller (so that I escape the rigmarole of packing and unpacking travel bags which will be my responsibility and I have been termed completely insane to want to keep travelling without my hubby and my child) ….the movie buff…(Oh! how I love my me time in the theatre),….my solo lunch buffets….my me time.

Where is this person? I am here and no one can see me… I keep on trying these little events ….solo jockey morning parties, solo veena world travel trips, solo theatre trips to watch a play and Anup Jalota kirtans (such a vivacious personality but does anyone admire him now?).

I guess I am my only favourite person and I am glad about it. I enjoy my me time alone. My pictures come super duper happy because for a change I cater to my needs. I am in charge of my happiness despite the chaos going around.

Frankly, I don’t even want anybody to accompany me… I wonder sometimes why I am so….I send my proof of happiness in all my groups and get even happier when cheered, liked and admired.

I hope I never change this person who is inside me ever. I believe in creating happiness for myself without waiting for company.

‘My Daughter Is A Young Lady With Special Needs. During Our US Trip She Opened Up, But Is Pushed Into Silence In India’

Apologies to patriotic people, but most of us Indians are not sensitive to special needs people & their emotions. Let's make this world a better place for them!

Apologies to patriotic people, but most of us Indians are not sensitive to special needs people & their emotions. Let’s make this world a better place for them!

My daughter Farheena is a young, smart lady with special needs. She is 26 years of age. I was diagnosed with 3rd Stage breast cancer when she was just 11 months old. Considering how our society responds to people who are different in any way, I was so scared to die that I kicked cancer and continued living. Of course, I had to undergo regular treatment to overcome cancer, but it was not tough.

Why Does My MIL Treat My Co-Sister So Much Better Than Me?!

If in-laws treat their daughters in law differently, it can certainly lead to a very traumatic and sticky situation in the family.

If in-laws treat their daughters in law differently, it can certainly lead to a very traumatic and sticky situation in the family.

“Can you get me some water?” asked my MIL from her place in the bedroom at 11a.m. on a leisurely Sunday.
