At 40, Life Has Come To A Crossroads, And I Ask Myself, What If?

40 is the age we pause in our rush to do things, look back, and take stock. What if I had done this? What if that had not happened? 

When I halt to look back on my life spent,

After a deep breath of frustration and disappointment,

If I had done this, if I had chosen this,

My life could be better now.

But……

This is what how mostly we feel,

Never miss real stories from India's women.

Register Now

Some sweet memories, Avoidable reflections,

Bitter experiences and Heartburns;

Some Tears, Smiles and Frustrations.

Life mixes all and gives a colourful collage.

At forty, is there a scope for reconsiderations,

Second chances, relationship realignments?

Is there a chance to restart life,

With my terms and conditions?

Is it fine to seek my own space after years of suffocation?

Mostly it is not.

If a fresh door opens for you, you are blessed.

Or you can philosophize it as your fate,

And wither away into the unknown world.
