#52WOG ~ #Family

This week it's about the gratitude for family! Given this topic a couple of months back, I would have been pretty casual about it. 

Thousand miles away from home, family is all you miss! The word Family for me forms the entire list of blood relatives I actually grew up with. It happens when you were brought up by grandparents, or say grandpa who believed in Family that eats together stays together. I wouldn't be fair if I don't thank them. 

1. Grandpa and grandma for being there through out my childhood, nurturing my values of life and laying the foundation of thoughts for who I am today. 
2. Mamas/uncles who dearly treated me as a kid sister and bullied and loved to me the core. I wouldn't have been the same if not for you guys. 
3. Aunts who gave me those typical Rajshri kind of relations to cherish and all the love they showered as new brides and forward
4. Cousins who instilled the motherly instincts which I proudly carry forward while bringing up my daughter 
5. My younger brother who just refused to grow up even after being a dad and knows my mind and hurt with just a hug 
6. Sister in law and nephew who taught what an extended family means with all the love and togetherness 
7. Husband who continues to play multi roles of friend lover listener and more. The one who was confident and loved me enough to start our New family together. 
8. In laws who wanted a daughter and loved me and welcomed me into their family. They always ensured I was given the love of daughter and were treated as one in every aspect 
9. Daughter for whom I prayed day and night. I couldn't have asked for anything more. 

I couldn't include parents in the list as I wouldn't be able to express in pointers how much I am thankful for them! I could go on and on about you guys but it's better felt than said. You mean the world to me, the relationship we share might not be a conventionally one, but hey, none of us believe to be the normal ever. Cheers to this life and thankful to each of you for being just you and grateful to everyone who have contributed to who I am today. It wouldn't be life without you guys!

Give it all

This post is very close to my heart. Initially I thought I should write about us, about women, about appreciating being a woman! However every time I post a pic or a staus, many like them, few comment on them and few even text me to say they are happy for me and  how perfect my life is. Well sorry to burst the bubble, my life has never been perfect. Yes, I have been on exotic holidays, moved abroad, dress up everyday as if I am will be walking on the ramp any moment. But, its not hunky dory life. Apart from my childhood, which I would say was no less than nightmares at times, it contributed to what I am today. No, I wouldn't discuss my trauma and attribute everything to it and cry my heart out. My hardship days as a kid was a reason I wanted to be a strong headed woman, yes I did attempt and I am still not sure if I ever could be tagged under that title. Before you start pitying, I should tell you guys that majority of my friends have been through a phase which would be term...

Women & their Sex Interpretation!

Back to blogging after a long time..And I am not here to write on sexuality for sure! For the past few days, I have been interacting with women across the Globe..thanks to the groups and social Media you do not get judged among the like minded people. A midst the discussion of Sex & Men, there are times when women confess about the Sexual encounters which they go through. Amongst all the experiences, there is always a biased opinion that women always have emotions on priority while they choose to sleep with someone & Men just satisfy their ego. Not necessarily true, but yes as they say "Sex is more physical for Men and More Emotional for women. Just knowing that man wants to have sex with them fulfills the emotional need". I am sure many will revolt against this, but majority will agree. It definitely doesn't mean women cheat on the basis of emotional needs. There is always lust which triggers and then justified by emotions. Women! But just makes me wonder i...

Love Actually....

Its been a while since I started all over again on my prem kahani, however I still wish to pen it and publish the same some day. So all you guys who know will know the story below, memories are always cherished better when they are documented. "Ek Ladki thi deewani se, ek ladke pe woh marthi thi", very filmi but every girl dreams of having a love which resembles Yash Chopra movies for sure. I too dreamt, day and night, comparing every guy in the school and judging his qualities against the mushy romantic bollywood heroes. I even had a number of crushes, for a sole reason that either their hairstyle/life style/dressing sense/bike/accent matched one of the heroes. For example, a guy in 7th had Akshay Kumar looks so he was flirt worthy(Not that I flirted with him!!), a guy in High School resembled Vivan Bhatia and another one he wore glasses which Hrithik wore in Kaho naa pyar hai! But above a best friend is someone who you always look out for, So I too had one during my schoo...
