<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I have been buying Fabindia
clothes, almost exclusively for over 15 years. My size gradually moved from M
to L and now to XL over the years <span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol-ext; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji";">☹</span>. However, I continued to buy Fabindia as I love the
style, the fabric and the fit. Typically, I make a couple of trips in a year to
the Fabindia outlet, spend ½ day and pick out a lot of clothes, accessories,
furnishings and anything and everything that catches my eye. I rarely try the
clothes on as by now I am very familiar with their fabric, fit and cut and know
what works for me. As this point, close to 90% of my wardrobe comes from
Fabindia.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Last December, while my daughter
was home, as usual we went to the Fabindia store for our shopping binge. The
first thing that surprised me, was the very diminished variety in the “XL”
size. But more was in store. In the weeks that followed, I was surprised and somewhat
disappointed when I realized that almost everything that I had bought during my
last shopping, were not fitting right. Everything seemed a bit on the tighter
side… while not completely unwearable, they weren’t as comfortable as I was used
to. Surprisingly, even the salwars seemed a bit tighter, which was confusing as
until a few months ago I was still fitting in fine in even my older “L”
salwars. I was disappointed but blamed it in on my ever-growing girth and
promised myself with renewed vigor that I would make an effort to lose the
weight. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
A few days later, I noticed that
the salwar I was wearing fit very comfortably, even though it was over 2 years
old. I was surprised but thought maybe it was a one-off piece that was probably
stitched on with the wrong size label or something. But then, in the days that
followed, I became aware that my old “L” salwars seemed to fit the same as my
latest “XL” salwars did. However, on most days, I am running in the morning in
my attempt to get to work in time and so didn’t have the time to actually
check. Each morning, I paid attention and made a mental note of the fit and
kept intending to find the time to actually do a proper check and measure the
clothes etc.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
So last weekend, I actually made
the time and here’s what I discovered.</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"></span></span></span>My
XL salwars from the previous year/s were larger by 3” than the L salwars at the
waist.</li>
<li><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"></span></span></span>My
XL kurtas were larger then my L kurtas by nearly 2” (nearly, because it varied
with the style of the kurta)</li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
And now comes the surprise</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>My
new XL salwars were EXACTLY the same size as my old L salwars at the waist!</li>
<li>Not
just that! The salwars had much lesser “chunnat/pleats” and had lesser “ghera/circumference”
on the thighs! Not even as much as there was in the old L salwars!!</li>
<li>
My
new XL kurtas were SMALLER than my old L kurtas on the arm and the same in size
as the old L kurtas on the chest and hips.</li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The questions I have for Fabindia are, </div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"></span></span></span>What
exactly are you trying to say with the smaller selection in XL? Currently, in
India, the women who prefer to wear salwars as against churidars, are
essentially women like me, who are large in girth and prefer to be comfortable.
My minimizing the selection, you are telling me that I should not be shopping
for your brand. Is that being consciously done?</li>
<li><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"></span></span></span>What’s
the thought behind decreasing the size and uplabelling? So that women who need
to wear a L/XL feel shitty and mistakenly believe that they have added weight
when they actually haven’t? Or is this a new way to cheat and make more money?</li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Here’s my dilemma – </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I like to be
comfortable and yet elegantly dressed, especially while at work. Fabindia has
given me the correct blend of the two, while most other Indian, ethnic wear
brands have never come anywhere near it in providing the fabric, the style, the
cut or the fit… not to speak of the variety, that has enabled me to simply shop
in one store. However, with Fabindia trying to shame me for my size while also
cheating me on the sly, I am disinclined to continue shopping there. BUT, then,
where do I go for my clothes? Tailors are a pain and most other ethnic wear
brands prefer to cater to a style that is really not appealing to me and
designer clothes are not my league! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Suggestions PLEASE! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div class="PadderBetweenControlandBody">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">A few days ago, I was devastated with the news
of an old friend’s fatal accident. A few phone conversations later, I became
painfully aware of how little we know of what actually goes on in the lives of
our dear ones, family and friends. In this day and age of absolute
connectivity, when everyone is just a call/message or a shout away, we are
actually losing all connections. Facebook updates and posts, Instagram pictures,
are all filled with positive, happy moments…but what happens in the dark
moments? Until that fatal day, I believed my friend was living the life, her media
posts boasted of her sons’ achievements, her public presence and acclaim, all pointed
in that direction and I thought that she had moved away from being a troubled
teenager into a happy adulthood. I could not have been more wrong is what those
few phone calls told me. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My daughter insisted that it was an
issue with my generation and that we did not share our problems. I am not
convinced that this is a problem merely with people of my generation. I think
this has more to do with technology and the way it connects while actually disconnecting.
In the times when we were not so connected, it was easier to share… or was it?
Fact is, I cannot pour my heart out in a phone conversation. I need a physical
presence to be able to do that. I need the opposite person to see and feel my
pain, not just hear. I can have long conversations on the phone about
everything and nothing. Most of these conversations evaporate from my brain even
as I disconnect the call. And any reference to it is likely to leave me perplexed
and trying to jog my memory to recollect the information, which I invariably cover
up with suitably spaced “Oh ya ya” or “I Know”… or some such similarly inane
phrases. This is not the case when we have face-to-face conversations. Our eyes,
faces and bodies speak more then the actual words that we use, and they tell a
story that goes way beyond the words. And our eyes, hear more then words can
say and ask questions, that our tongues cannot. I have seen stories fall apart when
faced with a steady attentive gaze that sees through the pretense. And even if
the questions are not actually asked, the story teller knows that he/she has
been seen through. A “are you ok” that comes with a concerned look expects more
then the casual “oh ya” that is typically the answer that one would be inclined
to give. The look asks more, expects more and sees more. How can this be replaced
with a conversation over the phone?</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">While I love technology, I am realizing
more and more that it makes it so easy to lie our way through anything, to
cheat even when there is no need and hide from others and eventually from most
reality. As a result, we know nothing about each other and say nothing. We read
a lot and retain nothing. We go everywhere but enjoy nothing. But is this all?
Is technology the only culprit?</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Is it just me, or has it become more common
to meet in groups and not in ones and two? Safety in numbers, they say… are we
all hiding from each other and in the process ourselves? I find more and more
that we meet people in small hoards, where conversation stays superficial and about
fun and all things good. The slight hint of dissent seems to make everyone
uncomfortable. We surround ourselves with music and sound to prevent ourselves
from hearing our voices, both inner and outer. I love music…but for me, its
something I appreciate in solitude, when I can absorb the beauty, the rhythm
and the melody without any adulteration from anything else… and yet I find more
and more friends suggesting we play some music when we are together…when the
music plays, there are some who want to sing aloud with it and others who want to
dance…and OH what a good time was had by all! But me, I prefer that we meet in
a small group, better still in ones and twos…so we can converse, get to know
about one another…perhaps learn from one another…evolve. Sadly, I find very few
takers. Is it because we are afraid to face the reality, introspect or is it
that we are afraid of being judged for what we are going through, or what we
think and feel? Where does this need to put on a “All is well” show actually stem
from? What would happen if I were to say, “all is NOT well”? If I cannot face/accept
my own fears, problems or whatever, how do I share and lay myself bare to my
own? And if I do not do that, how can they help?</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">And so the mind wanders…</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
My friend Vivek wrote an article recently and this post is a
reaction to his article. The link to his article is http://vivekvaidya.com/five-learnings-about-feminism/</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thanks Vivek Vaidya, for a very succinct analysis of urbane
feminism. I agree with all that you say, especially the part about Feminism
being a personal thing. <br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However, I think, we also need to recognize the stereotypes
that prevail in the society today and in fact rule the lives of most women.
While for the privileged upper class/educated women, choice is what you take
for granted, for a very large chunk of female population in our country,
choice, responsibility and duty etc etc are defined and demanded based on these
very stereotypes...nothing to do with ONLY men or women... it is the collective
thinking that needs to undergo a change. Unfortunately, Deepika's video was
unable to convey this and hence the flak. How many evolved writers,
movie-makers, and other creative people have actually taken a step towards
enlightening the populace? <br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We condemn rapes and propagate the need for learning
self-defense, create apps for women to alert their loved ones in times of
danger and so on… girls are told not to take chances/risks…to stay safe…all of
this is required…yet, WHY should it be required? Why should someone else TEACH
me, that it is MY CHOICE…when men take all of it for granted? Does it really
have to do with the kind of Feminism you refer to? I think not. It refers to
the fact that what is taken for granted, by 50% of the society, the remaining
50% cannot even aspire to it. The video tries to remind the world, that all of
this, IS, in fact, MY CHOICE and I, as a women have every right to use it…un-burdened
by societal restrictions, judgments…it is not, I believe, a call of Feminism…but
in fact a reminder, that society as a whole, needs to change the way it thinks
and perceives the actions of a free woman. <br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Every individual, not just women, draws a boundary for
his/her behavior, based on his/her upbringing/social context/education and many
such factors. However, for a large percentage of the female population these
choices are not made by the boundaries she sets for herself, but by the
boundaries that others set for her and force her to live within the confines of
that boundary willingly or unwillingly, thus taking the power of choice away
from her. THIS is what we should be concerning ourselves with. <br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Even if one feels Deepika’s video was ‘lame’ and irrelevant,
it did generate a controversy and bring about a discussion…on many different
platforms. The very fact that I have spent a precious 30 minutes of my Sunday
writing this response to a blog article by a friend, indicates that there are
many of us who feel rather strongly about it and wish to continue this debate. </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
I look forward to some responses to this reaction of mine…</div>

<span style="font-family: Mangal, serif;">its 12 yrs today, since a childhood friend passed away in a road accident and along with her she took her two small children and her grief stricken father followed shortly after. 12 yrs later, I am still trying to reconcile with what happened and make sense ... I miss her and her memory is so vivid in my mind, that I can practically hear her voice...despite the fact that I had not spoken to her for over 10 years when death embraced her...we wait...each day...postponing that phone call... that visit...for random, stupid reasons... and before we know it...we cannot do so anymore... I miss you dear Nammu, and I will always regret the years that I let pass without keeping in touch...</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
It has been a while </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Since I tried to arrange my thoughts</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
And put pen to paper</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
The disarray in my mind</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
If I could but paint</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
A splash of varied colors</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Layered one upon the other</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Overlapping and blended</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Thoughts large and small</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Important and trivial</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Consuming all the space</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
In my brain</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Till it’s ready to explode</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
If I could but</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Segregate, separate and isolate</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
And clear the clutter</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
And then I think of the painting </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
That would then be</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Isolated blotches of color</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Separate and set apart</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Boring and monotonous</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Categorized and compartmentalized</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Is that how I would want it?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
No… no way</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
I prefer the colorful chaos </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
That messes up my mind</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
One thought flitting past swiftly</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Blending in with another</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Creating a different hue of</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Fluid chaos…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
If only I could find some way </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
If only I could find some way </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
To keep you close, to keep you safe</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

If only I could do all that and still </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Let you grow</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Into that wonderful person</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
If I could find some way </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
To ensure that you </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Become that person</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Without going through life’s pains</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
If only I could find some way</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
That had no challenges</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
That was filled with laughter and joy.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
If only I could find that path.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
But the truth is,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
I cannot find that which does not exist.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
The truth is</div>

That no matter how much I wish otherwise,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
You will have to go through life’s trails </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
All on your own</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
The truth is</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
That I must ensure that you can </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Surge high and reach the heights </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
That I know you will</div>

All on your own</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
The truth is </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Even though it breaks my heart</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
I must make you walk this difficult path</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
So that some day </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
You will know the way</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
All on your own</div>

This song written by Sahir Ludhianvi Saab in 1957 for Gurudutt’s film
Pyaasa became an immortal cult song replete with pathos and frustration of a
common man unable to change the course of events in his country. Although
written then in the context of prostitution and exploitation of women, the song
still remains today a stark reminder of the current affairs in the country.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 18pt;">One
of the most complex things in life, I feel, are relationships…and I am not
talking about all the familial relationships or romantic ones. I am referring
to relationships between any two individuals. Each relationship has a reference
to context, some baggage, some expectations which affect the nature of the
relationship over a period of time. However, even with people you have known
for a pretty long time, there are always some things about their behavior that
confuse you and often, this has to do with communication- the nature, the
frequency or the lack of it.</span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 18pt;">One of
those random conversations with a friend got me thinking…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><u1:p></u1:p>
</span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 18pt;">If you look
around you, usually you can categorize most of the people around you into 3
types (alright, I know that sounds simplistic… but bear with me)… and I am
talking about people you have a relationship with, with whom you have shared
interests, experiences and life in general.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><u1:p></u1:p>
</span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 18pt;">There are
the Self-Sufficient type - who are so occupied with themselves, that they never
have time for anyone or anything else… and I don’t mean to run them down… it’s
just that, that’s how/who they are. They are very involved in, their work,
their issues, their problems, their successes and so on and basically don’t
have the time, or feel the necessity to nurture relationships. They actually do
not even think about anyone else or have any need for people. It’s not that
they are not good with people or that if you were to put them amongst people
they would be lost … or any such thing… it’s just that they will rarely
initiate an interaction unless there is a need ( as in unless they have some
work with the other person). There is no calling casually to check how you are
doing or to say hey, let’s meet. They will rarely remember anything that
happens in your life and have only temporary, superficial interest in it even
when you are talking about it. However, another thing that is rather typical of
this type is that if someone else initiates it, they will usually accept pretty
pleasantly and also proceed to enjoy the interaction. And that makes one wonder
why they do not initiate it?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><u1:p></u1:p>
</span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 18pt;">Then there
are the Needy ones – who have no hesitation in disturbing you whenever and
wherever, if THEY wish to talk.. and insist that you listen/make time for them.
They will forget your very existence until the day they have a problem that
they need help with, in whatever form… to vent, to empathize, or something
else. Their problems are always the biggest… so huge, and all encompassing that
no solution you offer would actually fix it. They are also the kind who will go
on the “why me” trip for which one rarely has the appropriate answer (I mean,
come on, one cannot tell a bawling friend that her husband is getting jealous
coz she has been flirting shamelessly, can you?). They are the kind who will
ask you how you are, but never wait for the answer, or even hear the answer.
Every conversation will be completely focused on them. They are also the kind
who will brush aside everything in your life as insignificant…or turn it around
on to something that happened to them and how that was sooo much bigger! This
type is the seriously exhausting variety… take up time, energy and emotional
bandwidth and leave you feeling like a used dish-cloth wrung out one time too
many.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><u1:p></u1:p>
</span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 18pt;">And then
there are the Available ones - who make time for everything and everyone. Who
will kill themselves to ensure that they remember to call you on every
important day of your life. If you call and say I am down, they will make time
to go have coffee with you…and their deadline be damned… they can always do
with pulling an all-nighter to finish it… after all you need them. The problem
with this type is that everyone seems to think they do not have a life and
worse no one acknowledges it. No one bothers to ask them if they have a
problem… in fact even when they come out and say they have a problem, they have
a tough time finding someone to share it with. They are also the kind who can
never seem to come out and say “I don’t have time” or “I am not interested” and
as a result everyone tends to take them for granted.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><u1:p></u1:p>
</span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 18pt;">Having said
this, I would really like to hear some other viewpoints on the topic…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">As I was growing up, I would often listen
to my grandmother and my mom exchange bits of news about the extended family.
The tales always seemed incomplete to me until I could put a face to the people
in the stories and I would invariably ask one of them who they were talking
about. And this would lead to long tracking of the family tree, with them
ensuring at each step that I knew at least one of the characters they were
referring to, so that I could see the linkages.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-bidi-font-family: "Miriam Fixed";">Think about it. Today, in the rare occurrence
of our spouse or child asking “who is this xyz?”, we invariably answer with a
“arey leave it… he/she is a distant cousin/uncle/aunt/niece/nephew.. you don’t
know that part of the family… I haven't heard of/from them in a long time ..
etc.. All in all, we quickly brush aside the opportunity to familiarize our
immediate families with our extended family…we simply do not see the point,
feel the need and have neither the time nor the inclination. What we seem to be
forgetting in the process is that, as families get scattered and drift away
geographically and emotionally, the ties and bonds that connected us are lost. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-bidi-font-family: "Miriam Fixed";">I had an interesting experience a few days
ago that made me think a bit…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-bidi-font-family: "Miriam Fixed";">My husband and I were to meet a
professional acquaintance of his and his wife for dinner. They were in town on
a visit from the US. I was not really looking forward to it as I did not know
either of the people and expected my husband to launch into shop-talk with no
regard for the two ladies. In my experience, so far, it has been a rare occurrence
when I have managed to have half-way decent conversation in such situations…
so, like I said, I was not looking forward to it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-bidi-font-family: "Miriam Fixed";">A few minutes into exchanging
pleasantries, we faced a question that is common to us Indians “which part of
the country are you from” and this lead to interesting discoveries like the
fact that the wife’s family came from the same parts as my mother’s family… and
a little further on surfaced the fact that his maternal grandmother shared my mother’s
maiden name … and so the ice was broken. We laughed about how small the world is
and six degrees of separation etc. As dinner progressed, our guest started to
narrate some incident and mentioned a family name that was familiar to me. I
turned to my husband and said, that’s the same family as my cousin xyz… and
they turned to ask me, xyz? I said yes, she is my cousin and she lives in the
US and they began to laugh. Turns out that the lady I was having dinner with,
was the real sister of my uncle’s wife. I had heard of her by her pet name and
so had she and since we didn’t know each other’s real names, we never thought
to link. Needless to say the rest of the evening and the day after flew by in
catching up with everything there was to.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-bidi-font-family: "Miriam Fixed";">However, this got me thinking… and I wondered,
if 10 years down the line my daughter were in a similar situation, what would
happen… firstly, she wouldn’t know the places that her grandparents families came
from and I am pretty sure that except for my maiden name, she knows none of the
other family names that are connected to us on either my side or her father’s
side of the family. So there is a huge possibility that she may meet her uncles
and aunts, cousins, nieces and nephews and never know that they were related.
Aren’t we, as parents to blame for this? I agree that it’s not a great
loss…after all, you can go through a life-time without seeing or interacting
with your cousins because they are far away… and what do you lose anyway?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-bidi-font-family: "Miriam Fixed";">But then something else happened that made
me think some more…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-bidi-font-family: "Miriam Fixed";">A close friend from across the seas and me
were having an online crib session, where we were complaining that our husbands
are incapable of providing us empathy or any kind of emotional support. And as
we talked, we also realized that we really did not have many people we could
turn to in an emotionally vulnerable state…you know the kind… when you just
need someone to listen and tell you… ya I know this stinks… but it will get
better and you are doing a great job… let you cry and bitch for some time.. pat
you.. give you a hug.. make you a cup of tea.. whatever… And even the few we do
have, are busy in their own life’s and you wonder if you should disturb them
for something that, you know in your mind, is trivial and so on…and she asked
“how did we get to this point? Coz, growing up we had so many people we could
turn to… we could actually choose who to turn to at any given point…so how and
when did that change… of course we won’t have the same set of people, but
shouldn’t we have managed to replace them with a new set???” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-bidi-font-family: "Miriam Fixed";">As typical middle class Indians, we grew
in homes that were short of space, but the people were large hearted…it always
sounded so clichéd when said in Hindi movies, but it IS true. We had people
drop in randomly, the lack of phone connectivity during those years also meant
that there was no way to warn anyone and yet, our mothers welcomed people they
barely knew into our homes and they were made comfortable, thus laying the
grounds for a loose yet fond bond. In its place, today we have larger homes,
better equipped, more help from devices as well as maids and yet, if we have an
unexpected guest, we immediately become uncomfortable…wondering how people can
be so inconsiderate etc. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-bidi-font-family: "Miriam Fixed";">While we were growing up, summer vacations
did not mean taking off to some fancy location and living in the lap of luxury…it
meant visiting family in remote places, sleeping in a row on mats/mattresses
laid out in the verandah/living rooms/terraces… it meant running riot with
cousins, nieces and nephews, laughing until your stomach ached, fighting as
though it were world war 3… it meant eating so much that you thought you
stomach would burst and then rolling on the cool floor till you could breathe
again. In those days, when guests came, there was no expectation that they
would have a ‘room’ to themselves, or their own ‘space’. It was usual for a bed
to be made where ever space permitted and they would be happy to sleep there.
It was common for us to be asked to go sleep on the temporary bed while the older
guest could sleep more comfortably in ours. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-bidi-font-family: "Miriam Fixed";">The point I am trying to make here is, we
lived in each other’s spaces, lives were entwined and ‘privacy’ meant very
different things then it does today. If you wanted ‘privacy’, you had to be a
newly-wed craving for physical intimacy in a crowded space, or the elders in
the family that needed to huddle together and find a solution to a serious
family matter. Nothing else was really private. And from this stemmed our
ability to discuss every silly problem with whoever was available without much
thought of what needed to be filtered/censored. Today, our kids have difficulty
in talking to us about their problems/issues and since they do not have the
luxury of older cousins to turn to, they turn to their equally ill-equipped
peers and end up making choices that can have serious consequences. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-bidi-font-family: "Miriam Fixed";">Therefore, I believe its time for us, the
parents, to get over our ‘lack-of-time’ and manage to make time to acquaint our
children with our extended families, either in person, or through stories that
will go down the generations and make them feel connected to that 3<sup>rd</sup>
or 4<sup>th</sup> cousin at the other end of the world who shares a family name
or doesn’t. Time to make an effort to get to those family re-unions, weddings
and other celebrations. So that, tomorrow, your child doesn’t turn around and
say… I don’t know where my family comes from.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Memories! Memories that consume your very being. Memories, that
take you down nostalgia lane. Memories that make the past seem so much more
beautiful than it actually was. Memories that remind you of all that and all
those you left behind…sometimes willingly, some unwillingly, sometimes
knowingly and some unknowingly, some painlessly and some with regret. It’s strange
what clings to the deepest recesses of your memory walls…emerging when least
expected as though someone decided to switch on a torch in a dark cave. Have you
ever noticed how you revel in the good memories? Repeating the stories again
and again and reliving them each time you tell the story. Ever wonder why you
never talk about the bad memories? No brainer, right? Who wants to relive the
pain? But what do you do when those memories choose to emerge and come to the
forefront of your brain, consuming your thoughts, forcing you to relive the
pain and the hurt? What’s the first instinct when that happens? Mine used to be
to push them back deep into the deepest dark corners of my mind and forget them
all over again. But as you would have noticed, that doesn’t quite work, does
it? Because, sooner or later they do manage to surface again, seemingly stronger
and louder…usually catching you in a weak moment, when the strength to fight
them is apparently inadequate. Result? A bout of depression of varying degree,
depending on the intensity of the incident.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I guess, as one grows older, there is an innate need to dig
deeper within oneself and re-analyze one’s life-defining, life-changing moments
and while you are doing that, it’s really hard not to go back to the bad
memories…in fact, that’s where the major learning lies and so, it’s actually
unavoidable. Once I realized this, I felt the need to find a better coping
mechanism since depression is unproductive and always avoidable. I then
remembered something that a yoga-teacher had taught me a few years ago while
doing ‘shavasana’…wherein you lie like a corpse, slowly getting every muscle in
your body to relax and let go. I remembered her voice softly speaking to us
while we lay with our bodies at rest, eyes closed, trying to understand how to
relax each group of muscles…once we were done with getting our body to relax,
she would then tell us to feel the air go in from our nostrils deep into our
lungs and become conscious of the path that air was taking as it went in and
out of our body…and then she would tell us to focus on our mind…watch it as
though it was external to our being…watch the thoughts that flit in and out of
our brain and let them flow without holding on to any thought…and after that,
she said… now, as the thoughts flow, pick one, as you would pick up a toy or
any other object and turn it around exploring it, casually and then, without
getting involved in it, put it down and watch the flow of thoughts again, until
another interesting one comes by.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">And so, I decided to try this with memories, especially the
painful ones. It's turned out to be a very interesting exercise and pretty
fruitful, if I may say so, for me at least. I find, that when I consciously
open this box of memories and choose, which one I wish to examine, it gives me
a sense of control and doesn’t flood my being with the intensity of emotion
that I felt when it was involuntary. It also enables me to be objective and
makes it possible for me to view the incident from multiple perspectives and
that helps me come to an explanation of sorts and that in turn, enables me to
put that incident into another box labeled “shit happens” <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span> which I can now peep
into from time to time, shrug my shoulders and smile and say “ ya well, you
know, you can’t control all that happens in life” …basically, laying it to rest
and say RIP. Often I find that it wasn’t as big a deal as it was in my mind and
that by trying to shove it under the carpet, I had somehow given it a bigger
role in my life, than it deserved. And even more often, I find, that something I
had blamed someone else for, was actually more my fault then theirs…because I had
been cowardly or not honest enough or wanting to get their approval or..or..
or.. basically I learnt, that I had ‘allowed’ a certain thing to happen because
of something I had done, said or left undone and unsaid…so, having figured out
that it was my mistake, I find it easier to forget it. It also makes it
possible for me to grow some more as an individual, because it teaches me not
to repeat the same mistakes. Since life is at another phase today, it imparts a
new understanding of people’s behavior in the past… as an adult, a parent, a
spouse, a teacher, a friend, a colleague … explains why someone in your life
made choices that affected you and your life… you may still not agree with it,
but at least you are able to understand it better now… once again helps me put
it to rest…no more blame…no more regrets…no more feeling that you didn’t have
control… it's done…in the past… and life today, is where it was ‘meant’ to be. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I don’t know about everyone else, but for me, understanding ‘why’
something happened is very essential for me to be able to put it behind me and
move on. Of course, no matter how hard you try, some things will have no
explanation, no matter which angle and which perspective you look at it…and
then, you simply have to learn to push to the deepest corner of your mind and
let it remain there…perhaps at some point in future, you may be able to address
it…until then, let it rest. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was a chilly early spring Sunday morning in the late
1990’s while I was still living in Sweden. My jazz loving friend, Nelson, decided
that I needed a musical Sunday brunch and dragged me, a little unwillingly to a
breakfast concert at a club in Lund, Sweden. I had never been to a club in the
daytime and had my 5+ daughter in tow (because it was Sunday morning and it was
usually our time together). I was not too sure what exactly Nelson had in mind,
because as was his nature, he remained mysterious, only insisting that I come
with him. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On reaching the club, I saw a poster introducing Trilok Gurtu as a
‘world musician’ who excels in experimenting with different instruments. I, of
course, as a typical middle class south Indian woman, had had enough exposure to
classical music to recognize the name “Gurtu” from the erstwhile Shobha Gurtu
who I admired greatly. But the skeptic in me refused to accept that any
celebrity kid, especially one who ‘experiments’ could have even a shadow of his
mother’s talent. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And so we walked into the club to find scattered seating as
you have in any normal café (well, it was a breakfast concert!) the sight of
which made be doubly sure that this was going to be one of those non-serious
concerts, where no one is really paying attention to the music.. you know, the
kind you saw in slightly pretentious restaurants in India in the 80’s and 90’s
where in a corner, on a small dais sat a small group of classical/semi
classical singers/musicians singing in the background trying to be as
unobtrusive as possible so as not to disturb your dinner conversations….THAT
kind!!! The only redeeming factor seemed the fact that all chairs faced the
stage and the buffet was laid out at the back end of the room… so well, at
least someone was <i>pretending</i> to be
serious about the music! AND, the room was full… although, I questioned whether
it was for the breakfast or the music?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We found a table as close to the stage as we could, grabbed
our breakfast and settled into the chairs, waiting for the performance to
begin. Nishita, of course, refused to stay in her chair… and just as I began to
freak out over her running all around the place, Nelson pointed out some dozen
toddlers doing exactly that. <i>“Let her
be”…</i> was his favorite phrase every time he saw me restricting her from
doing anything, anyways! So, letting her <i>be</i>…
I focused first on the breakfast and then on the hitherto empty stage. About
30mins after we had arrived, the stage began to be populated with different
instruments, some I recognized as Indian, some Nelson recognized as African and
the rest remained mysterious. Some 10mins anticipation and Trilok Gurtu took
his place on the stage, alone!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The next couple of hours were one of the most mesmerizing
hours of my life, as he proceeded to first, introduce the instruments,
individually, and then in combination, bringing out melodies and sounds that
were unbelievably evocative. He was playing some half a dozen different
instruments, by himself. Slowly the stage became populated with 3 other
artists. Each entry was a short solo with whichever instrument/s they would be
playing followed by a blending of sounds from those already present on the
stage. I cannot even begin to describe how wonderfully seamless the whole <i>introductory</i> episode was. And what followed
left me filled with incredulous joy and enlightenment. It made me change my
taste, my views about non-Indian, non-classical/semi-classical music. The music
itself was rooted in classical Indian, blended with folk music from India,
Africa and other countries/continents that I could not identify. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was an amazing experience… the fusion… of music, of
melodies, of cultures, of colors. It made me realize once again, how closed we
Indians tend to be… so sure that “OUR” music, our food, our way-of-life, our beliefs ARE THE best in the world… we forget that if we close the doors of our
minds and our senses, the outside world may have progressed far far beyond us. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The room, that day was filled with Scandinavians, for whom,
in reality, this kind of music was very very far from anything that was familiar
to them and yet they were curious and open enough to want to come and listen to
it. And through the two hours of the concert, there were no murmurs that drew
your attention away from the music…no screeching chairs, no crying
toddlers…nothing! Even though the little ones present were running around and
playing, I have no recollection of being disturbed by their presence. And
although there was an Indian at the center stage, the only Indians present were
my friend Narmada, Nishita and me. That day, I promised myself that I would
always be willing to experiment, willing to expose myself and my senses to new
and unfamiliar experiences…. And have never regretted that… it has added
dimensions to my character/personality that would otherwise not be part of who
I am today. All this I owe to this one, unforgettable experience.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have heard fusion music and artists who are way better
than Trilok Gurtu, since then…but as my first exposure to this genre, he
deserves all the credit…<o:p></o:p></div>

They were “just friends”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
For a very long time<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
No one ever understood her,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
As he did<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
And no one touched his soul <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
As she did<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
And yet, they lived far apart.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Afraid to explore <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Afraid to feel <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

We are better as friends<o:p></o:p></div>

They say to each other,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Laughing<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
As their minds wonder<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
How it might have been <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
To be in each other’s lives<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Feeling <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Loved and respected<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Understanding and accepting<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Because…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
That’s what a marriage <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Should be all about.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Or is it just that,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
That a marriage destroys?<o:p></o:p></div>

This one is for my nephew, who celebrated his 22nd birthday
a few days ago...</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Happy Birthday, Nannu!!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was the first time that I had held anybody so small, so
fresh, so wonderful, so lovely... I can close my eyes and be transported
back to the moment when I held you in my
arms for the first time ever... a feeling so unique and so unforgettable... and
never relived. You were the first of the new generation, the first of many new
things life was to bring to all us... and each time every one of us looked at
you, our hearts filled up with a love that was hitherto unknown to us.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As you grew older, taking your first faltering steps and
then beginning to run at a pace that your grandmother could not keep up with,
the air filled with your laughter and the house with joy. You have always been
special ... because you were the first... the first to teach us how it feels to
have a little bundle of joy in the house ... the first to make us aware of
every small thing around us, that could affect you ... the first to fill our
hearts with joy each time you smiled with a twinkle in your eye...</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have distinct memories of hugging you.. you felt so good
in my arms... I miss that feeling.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I remember the look on my mother's face each time she
watched you running around happily... I miss that look and I miss that happy
child who would come running to hug me even before I could completely enter the
house.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I remember you being the big brother, trying to get Nishu to
sleep with a complicated bedtime story... you elaborate story-telling and her
rapt attention.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I often wonder, how much of this do you remember? Someone
once told me that memories are nothing more than stories that have been repeated to you way too many
times... the mind sees them and believes that they happened... if that is true,
then you would have no recollection of any of these as they were never told to
you... I wish I could change that.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Vijaya;">It has been one of those days
(or is it weeks, months...even a year perhaps) when the mind has been restless
while body has been at rest. The New Year dawned and before I could even blink
a month had passed by. All the New Year resolutions remained (so far, at least)
simply as resolutions...showing no inclination to move into action. The mind
kept trying to mentally shake the body out of its lethargy, but to no avail. Surprisingly,
when asked, the body kept insisting that the mind was not co-operating!! And in
this tug-of-war of the mind and body, days turned into weeks and months into a
whole year. Am I leading somewhere with this? Rest assured, I am.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Vijaya;">One would wonder what this
tussle between mind and body is all about... it’s about recovery, convalescence,
recuperation, rejuvenation...or whatever else you may wish to call it. While we
spend a lot of time, effort and money on curing the illness, we seem to forget
to factor in the time required for convalescence which is the time it takes for
the mind and body to work in tandem once more. Something the family and friends
and often even the patients themselves seem to forget. Any serious illness,
takes a toll on the mind, body and spirit...leaves behind self-doubt and fear...can
I do this? Should I do this? What if... and similar such ridiculous concerns
seem to surface in the mind, giving the body all the reasons it needs to stay
put and not make any effort.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Vijaya;">I remember one of my nurse
friends in Sweden telling me that the female brain works only at 70% its normal
capacity post-delivery. As many of us have experienced, post-delivery there is
a feeling of a brain fog and its impossible to remember the simplest of
things...and yet, very few mothers forget to feed/clean their babies in time,
or miss its cry. It appears that nature has somehow ensured that a new mother focuses
essentially on the needs of her baby and renders all else into the background
of her mind. So think about it...even nature felt the need to give a mother’s
mind a little time to catch up with the her body after the trauma of
childbirth, which is such a natural, normal and frequent occurrence. Yet, we,
forget to do so when our own bodies or those of our loved ones undergoes the
unnatural trauma of a serious illness/surgery etc.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Vijaya;">Any recovery process is not
merely a physical phenomenon... the physical recovery, or lack of it is still
visible and measurable...it’s the emotional and mental recovery that most
people struggle to come to terms with and often tend to neglect...leading to
depression or stress of varied kinds. The effort it takes to fight the ailment,
to remain in a positive frame of mind and to try to be cheerful all deplete the
emotional reserve an individual has. Emotional reactions and breakdowns happen
after the worst is over...almost similar
to weeping in relief. A patient who has borne the pain stoically suddenly seems
to become impatient and irritable once the worst is over.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Vijaya;">Add to this the basic
expectation of people around, that, now that he/she is physically fit, they
should run around as they did before and behave exactly as if nothing had
happened. “Put it behind you” is the simple adage that is often thrown
around...is it so easy? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

The time needed for the mind to relax, unwind and blank-out has now, I believe, passed. This morning I awoke rather early with this strange sensation of purpose... as though there were many things to be done and it took me a few minutes to realize that such was not the case. And so, I pushed that sense of purpose into the realms of mental beyond and made myself my morning cuppa. And as I sipped at my true-blue south-Indian kaapi, I let my mind wander aimlessly into the depths of nostalgia that only the mind can traverse to.... </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Somehow, the early morning coffee always makes me think of my mom... surprisingly consistently, each morning, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee brings with it a whiff of my mother into my kitchen, 15 years after she passed away... and that’s when I miss her the most. She was the one to introduce me to coffee or rather filter coffee at a point in time, when I decided I was too grown-up to drink milk first thing in the morning (despite the fact that I loved milk). Each morning, the first thing she would do when she entered the kitchen, was to make the coffee decoction. I would wake up to the aroma of freshly brewing coffee and the calm persona of my mother.... so I guess it is not surprising that morning coffee and mom are intertwined in my memories.</span></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I remember the time, when just after she had retired, the doctor suggested that she go for a morning walk to ensure that she kept physically active. By that time, my brothers had moved to Mumbai for their respective jobs and she and I were living by ourselves in Nagpur, while I completed my studies. So, on doctor’s orders, we decided to go for a morning walk each day. We would stroll at a leisurely pace on the picturesque terrain of Seminary Hills, watching the sun rise, admire the colours in the sky, and listen to the birds tweet, as we talked about something or the other. We would return just in time to meet the milkman, and the newspaper. I would grab the paper and squat on the ‘pulia’ (remember the concrete benches along the road?) outside our building, while mom would carry the milk into the house. She would emerge some 15 minutes later with two cups of steaming hot coffee and set herself down on the pulia opposite me. We would then drink our coffee, sharing the newspaper and discussing random news-bytes and as the sun moved higher up in the sky, we would be reminded of the thousand mundane things that awaited our attention... and we would go into the house to start our respective days...</span></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I remember these as the most peaceful moments of my life, when all seemed well with my world. My mother had a calming presence that is very rare in today’s world. Her very aura felt peaceful, calm and content, despite the fact that her life had been so tremendously turbulent. </span></span><br />
