103 .Birthday

 I turned 33 on 7th of this month. Two years back I was in mangalore with my mom. And last year was my first one without her. So I decided to do something special for me this time. I had checked reels on few freebies for the birthday girl. Like a kayaking offered in ignite waters, free donut when purchased a beverage etc. It was a Sunday and both of us had a holiday so he planned a fancy lunch for me . I couldn't stay back midnight as was sleepy. So the very next day as I open my message I see a beautiful gift from Sky. He had got two big cakes in his place with my name written on it. When I checked with him how would he complete this cake , he mentioned that he would give away to orphanage for children. I was moved by this gesture. I had prepared bread omelette for breakfast. Before that had freshend up and offered my prayers to God. I shouldn't have booked a morning slot for the water paddling. As the weather in Dubai is too heated up . Also I was trying to kayak in individual boat for the first time. In April we had a team event where in Hatta I have done donut rowing which means it is less effort kayaking where we could enjoy rowing with team. Here there was chances of the light weighted boat to submerge in water so I was asked in advance if I knew to swim and also opted for a life jacket. I had worn jeans and a kurtham Although carried swimming suit too but I didn't anticipate the water to come over me. To be honest I did row but it wasn't a magical experience considering the humidity was too much and evenings would be cooler. Then we went home to change and relax a bit at home. It was afternoon already and we went to city centre maeisuem which is near to my place to have a good lunch. First I happen to visit the freebies list available in the store to grab them. Out of these ,I managed to grab a freebie in Tim Horton.I purchased a lavender cooler beverage ( Cost is 19 AEd ,since I had few points ,I was asked to pay only 16. With this I got a free donut. I chose KitKat one . It actually costed 8. But since was free so enjoyed it. By the way kayaking was also a part of Freebie for me. I would have regretted if I had to pay 75 AEd since it was not that worth. We went to Gazebo. We had a Zomato coupen for 30 percent off provided we make a minimum bill of 100 AEd. So after crafting my homework carefully we ordered chicken biryani and curry with butter rotis. The bill came up to 77 which represents my birthday too..We went to carefour to get weekly groceries. Next day I had office and Apoleena took me out for lunch in More.we had Thai green chicken with rice and in desert took a chocolate ice cream. Mara had also come to meet team so distributed chocolate as well to my former team. Thank for for a beautiful day!


She then reached out to me saying that she can disconnect with him if that hurts me .so I told her that I can't devote time to listen to her and advise all the time . So let her chill ,enjoy his care , attention,love.. after all all he needed was her. May be I was trying to hold him like a sand . I was making sure I don't give him stress by being too clingy with my sad stories. But he loves the toxicity and his energy definitely matches with her so he chose her over me and said he only needs her. 


Well, the next day when I messaged he was trying to be as restricted as possible.. like if I say how are you .his response is how are you . If I say I am fine, he says ok..it's not the way he responded to me usually and then when I ask why he changed,he says all is in my mind. 


I agree I am possessive. But even after understanding that showing me off the love towards her in group was too much. I felt all was done just to get a reaction out of me also during the time I was upset here. She is right that I have never understood either him or her. I am a mean selfish lady .


Irrespective of his reaction to my newsletter comment in group I am continuing to do that because I need him although all he need is only her. 


Let me come back to my birthday. Next day I had office and Apoleena took me out for lunch in More.we had Thai green chicken with rice and in desert took a chocolate ice cream. 


Mara had also come to meet team so distributed chocolate as well to my former team. 


If sky reads my email fully , he may find me too insecure. But it's my feelings. I own them. He is good to communicate.he is sweet but too much sweetness is not good for health. So his weekly communication would be enough for me to sustain the entire week. Let him have his share of happiness with his only one. Afterall she is my sister and if she is been treated as a princess then she deserves it .


I am already a queen so i let my princess enjoy this' phase with my prince ( her prince ) !!!

So after crafting my homework carefully we ordered chicken biryani and curry with butter rotis. The bill came up to 77 which represents my birthday too..We went to carefour to get weekly groceries. And evening I prepared for the next day and created a new group Awesome Threesome with my cousin and sky which sadly came to a hault yesterday. I really like sky around me .He is my happy space. I even sext with him and I can discuss anything and everything to him. However this is the second time that is happening that I felt left out. This time I didn't manipulate. I just felt to leave the group . When he sexted me the last time it was a abusive one and a rough sex where we used the term Raand which means a prostitute. Next day even he asked if we went overboard. But then it was something I extremely loved so I didn't think  deep because I enjoyed to the core. I felt we both needed each other. But he just needed her. It's me who was needy for his love and attention . Every time I reach out to him and he doesn't even attempt to get back to me. He mentioned to me earlier that my cousin is not like me. Means she would keep her respect intact and not give herself to him so easily. In other way the Raand is correctly justifying me. That I was ready to give him even even I am in wedlock .In the group I had mentioned to him that please keep tuning for my birthday newsletter. But he didn't respond. However if she posted anything he would be proactive. I ignored and tried to communicate with him on things we relate. But then she was not involving in these conversation rather was texting him separately. When I would write anything in group ,on her behalf he would respond. She wouldn't even get back to me . Everyone has their opinion and when I shared mine, the response was a bit rude. Even if she was upset she didn't connect to me rather discussed about me to him. Earlier too I had seen that she has hid her DP , she isn't communicating to me and this strong response was hard on me. Moreover sky kept supporting her. Previous to last evening I was upset and I didn't want to share the negativity to others so I told sky that he is my happy space and the issue is regarding my dad so I will handle it. I logged off early. The next day ( yesterday) I see there isn't the regular good morning msg. Neither my cousin checked with me if I was ok. And I see intense msg from sky in the group stating that he needs only her .he stresses on the word 'only you '! Either he can have this close ended communication to her in person that showing his love in the group. When I sext him ,it's because I feel for him. Neither him nor me are toys here. So he should have been sensible with his actions. And she is also reciprocating well and then telling me that she can't control his actions. The group was namesake. Anyways the real conversation was one to one . And I was feeling hurt and ignored by both ends.

She then reached out to me saying that she can disconnect with him if that hurts me .so I told her that I can't devote time to listen to her and advise all the time . So let her chill ,enjoy his care , attention,love.. after all all he needed was her. May be I was trying to hold him like a sand .

102. Embrace the unknown

 



I received a Birthday gift 

The charm that made mood uplift 


He asked to accept this gift for friend sake 

Who got for me 2 kg 2 big cake


These cakes were bought to his home 

And excess he said would be distributed to an old age home 


I was amused since the thought process was so kind 

Some random stranger celebrating my birthday was rare to find 


'Stranger 'the term since we are just pen friends

Letter writing through email is my most favourite among trends


For this gesture I wrote him appreciation letters over phone 

As I was gracefully embracing the unknown 


Recently I was googling myself where I typed Happy Birthday cake 

And the same one appeared. LOL!!! I got a headache 


I am so naive to assume these surprises were true 

A prank on my birthday to prove 


That embracing unknown is a fairytale 

A known devil is better than unknown angel !!!

Review 

Wonderful ❤️

A beautiful story of unexpected generosity and thoughtfulness, with a touch of doubt and wonder. The encouraging surprise you receive from a stranger and the contrast you draw between the reliability of an unknown angel versus a known devil adds depth to the narrative. The value of genuine acts of kindness and the doubt and uncertainty about your decision to embrace the unfamiliar are well described, which calls into question the authenticity of the surprise. A beautiful message is also conveyed that curiosity and reflection about the true intentions behind unexpected kindness is important, emphasizing the possibility of true outcomes❤️

Keep inking 

Keep inspiring ✍️

101. A poem for me

 A lovely poem for you. 


As I was walking

Down life's highway 

Many years ago


I came upon a

Sign that read


Heavens Grocery Store..


When I got a

Little closer


The doors swung

Open wide


And when I came

To myself


I was standing

Inside..


I saw a host of

Angels.


They were 

Standing everywhere


One handed me a

Basket


And said 'My

Child shop with care..'


Everything a

Human needed

Was in that

Grocery store


And what you

Could not carry

You could come

Back for more


First I got some

Patience.


Love was in that

Same row.


Further down was

Understanding,

You need that

Everywhere you go..


I got a box or

Two of Wisdom 

And Faith a bag

Or two.


And Charity of

Course

I would need some

Of that too..


I couldn't miss

The Holy Ghost

It was all over

The place.


And then some

Strength

And Courage to 

Help me run this race.


My basket was

Getting full

But I remembered

I needed Grace,


And then I chose

Salvation for

Salvation was for

Free


I tried to get

Enough of that to do

For you and me..


Then I started to

The counter

To pay my grocery

Bill,


For I thought I

Had everything

To do the Masters

Will.


As I went up the

Aisle

I saw Prayer and

Put that in , 


For I knew when I

Stepped outside

I would run into

Sin.


Peace and Joy

Were plentiful,

The last things

On the shelf.


Song and Praise

Were hanging near

So I just helped

Myself. 


Then I said to

The angel


'Now how much do

I owe?'


He smiled and

Said


'Just take them all

Everywhere you go.'


Again I asked

'Really now,


How much do I 

Owe?'


'My child' he

Said , 'God paid your bill

A long long time

Ago.'


This poem has

Been sent to you

With love and for 

Blessings.

100. Good Bye

 Good Byes are tough. 

I have been writing since I was 8. However I started with impressing my grandpa, mom and teachers and slowly started to write to express myself. 

Writing was always on and off for me. 2024 was very special as I found so many groups where I could write poems based on the themes given, I joined few Anthologies too, did a bit of creativity. I was obsessed over certificates. 

Today as I mark my 100th post in my blog, I would like to say a Good bye. I have exited all writing communities. However I am thankful for the opportunity to be here where I moved away from toxicity and felt peace and was in my own world enjoying the write ups. 

In this process of writing , I met Sky and I am thankful for the inspiration I received not just to pen down but also to understand my own self . My writing journey with groups was between feb and may 2024. These 4 months in the writing groups were amazing.

(Old post)99.Arrange Marriage

Bond of marriage is indeed supreme
An ideal life partner is one's dream

But arrange marriage has a twist
There are many do's & dont's in the list

A person might seem so true & own
On a conversation over a phone

One may find in him an unique zest
But can he pass life's sickle test?

So many doubts in my mind
Is he the one whom I find

In my dream of imagination
Would he treat me with love &passion?

Knowing him is different from understanding
Being human is different from human being

I fear taking step next
Would it be love or mere lust?

Each girl aspires her man 'The best'
Each one of us is destined for life's test

The seed of happiness I'm sowing
Hope is something keeps me going!!!

72. Contrast

 



Contrast me*

Both these frames are mine 

My personality of dusk and sunshine 

I am a tension master 

So mostly my face frowns faster 

However learning to adjust my settings of life shelf 

To smile more and believe in myself!!

71.Guilt of being innocent


 *Guilt of being innocent*


My guilt is making opposite person feel faulty 


To potray I am innocent and she is guilty..


The previous department I worked was now toxic 


It was best time for me to leave than feel sick..


But this decision was made not by me, but my boss 


And her removing me from office group took my feelings to toss...


I felt bad not because I wasn't valued in front of my peers


But expected an acknowledgement for being with her for so many years..


My innocence was my expression of feeling


Even after conveying,my mind was not healing..


I transferred her this burden of guilt 


Although my feeling was pure and innocent...


She must have felt 

What I meant 


This day she calls me in pantry 


To share with me her birthday pastry 


I could have easily avoided her and said no 


But earlier it was me who was desperate for my presence to show..


What goes around comes around 


And if she is being nice,then I am too bound 


I was guilty of making her feel sorry for me


I accepted her invite gracefully 


I should have definitely missed to attend 


However I had started ,so had to end..


At times I feel, I was yearning for her validation 


But when it came true ,I revisited my manifestation


There is a fine line in being innocent and fool


Mostly I cross this line ,but it's cool..

 

Penning down this instance of being innocently guilty I realise

 

As long as I don't repeat my mistake,I am wise!!!

Review-


Exquisite ❤️

The internal struggle with feelings of inadequacy and the external consequences of a toxic work environment are beautifully highlighted. The composition is beautifully narrated based on the introspective journey, lessons learned from experiences and the importance of self-awareness and growth. Personal accountability and the ability to gain wisdom by learning from mistakes inspires one to seek insights in dealing with complex relationships and challenging situations❤️

Keep it up ❤️
