She saw her loved one in a dream, someone who had long gone away where she couldn’t reach him…
I saw you in a dream,
And I saw that you have moved on….
And it made me happy,
It made me feel at peace.
You looked so calm,
You looked so serene,
You took a deep breath and raised your hands,
I kept looking at you waiting for you to turn.
And then you looked around and you smiled at the world,
And you looked at me but you didn’t see me,
You had a beard that you never had before,
You looked so handsome and you looked so happy,
And I kept standing there watching you smile….

Be it a working or a homemaker mother, every parent needs a support system to be able to manage their children, housework, and mental health.
Let me at the outset clarify that when I mention ‘work’ here, it includes ANY work. So, it could be the work at home done by a homemaker parent or it could be work in a professional/entrepreneurial environment.
Either way, every parent struggles to find that fine balance between ‘work’ and ‘parenting’, especially with younger kids who still need high emotional and physical support from their caretakers. And not just any balance, but more importantly, balance that lets them keep their own sanity intact!
Paromita advises all women to become financially independent, keep levelling up and have realistic expectations from life and relationships.
Heartfelt, emotional, and imaginative, Paromita Bardoloi’s use of language is fluid and so dreamlike sometimes that some of her posts border on the narration of a fable.
Her words have the power to touch the reader while also delivering some hard hitting truths. Paromita has no pretences in her writing and uses simple words which convey a wealth of meaning in the tradition of oral storytellers – no wonder, Paro is a much loved author on Women’s Web.
This June we celebrate twelve years of Women’s Web, a community built by you – our readers and contributors.
