Just when you thought, you were not that wise,
Just when you thought, the days were not bright;
Just when you thought, you were pushed to the edges,
Just when you thought, you had burned the bridges;
Just when you thought, it is impossible to outrun your past,
Just when you thought, life is a deep dark hole…that has left you aghast;
Just when you thought, these thoughts are undermined…mean to you & outrageously vile,
Just when you thought, you are phenomenal…cried thousand tears but triumph every trial;
Just when you thought, nothing can sabotage your inner-strength and the soul, that is free..
Just then you arise, awake and emerge out to be…what you want to be…
Just then all those mumbling voices swirling around your head will go numb,
Just then you will see the inside light, whose presence you had never fathom;
Just then you will come out breaking all the shackles…an outcry will be heard, as loud as a shatter..
For you are the woman with unparalleled courage, a woman with identity, a woman of character…
May someone somewhere reading this finds solace, courage and inspiration in these words😊 #womanwhomatters

However, one such gathering exposed me to a horrific practice that, though common in many houses worldwide, is very problematic.
It all started with my horror at hearing one of the supposedly funny anecdotes about my cousin’s birth.
If I have to adopt then why should I marry him? My clock is ticking and I want a child more than a husband.”
“Aunty what should I do? Tell naa! Guide me, help me to decide please,” Ruchi implored.
I, from my vantage point of view of sixty-five years, watched her thirty-something-year face full of hope, indecision, and preparedness to be happy or unhappy.
“He says he does not want a child. He has a daughter from his first marriage – his ex-wife too lives in the USA and they have shared custody. We have been chatting for the last six months online. In all other respects, I find him suitable but he doesn’t want a child.
