I don't beleive in happily ever after

It is me or really the fact stays that "happily married ever after" is a myth and fairytale?
In my 30 plus years of life, I have never came across one such woman , who can claim otherwise. I am not skeptical, but I feel that with marriage even the very known person changes. Be it arranged or love, nothing goes on as expected. But the unfortunate part is , mostly it is the woman who has to bear it down .

Marriage is just a way to chain you down, your spirit , your free will and your voice. Some do it very diplomatically while some in crude way, but the fact remains same 'adjustment'. I am not surprised why there is the legacy of women torture continuing in the society. It will, because women are taught to make 'compromise'. They are taught to be 'soft spoken' bride a ever suppressed daughter in law . But when the instances arises where women try to raise their voice, the chauvinism of men raises their head mostly in panic. Then follows crime against women like rape, burning and murdering.These are no doubt very extreme. But in regular day to day, are there any women out there who can reveal deepest of their anguish, fear or feelings to their male partners? I doubt that.

And until that case arise, marriage always has and always will spell 'disaster' to me !

What's left after the aftermath is not a good scene. But still one has survived and therefore she must summon all the energy, all the courage present  in her and Walk. 




And so must I .......

Season 1 Episode 1 - 'what is new'


It was tough call to make, but I had to. I knew it, if not now, it will be never. I can feel a peculiar strength in my guts.

Six Months Ago…

I broke up with him. Almost after 9 years of knowing each other, is over just in seconds. There was a strange mixed feeling. Something; like you have given up some prized possession of yours. At the same time  feeling a burden off …a light headed me. I knew that this relationship is going nowhere. Both of our parents gearing up for an official announcement perhaps only escalated the obvious; “break up”.
When I broke the news to him, he was silent and didn’t say anything as if he had anticipated this moment way long back. The casualness and acceptance of the event made me uneasy. ‘What the hell’! Wasn’t he supposed to coax me to stay or at least ask what went wrong?

And then I think I saw a bit of sadness in his eyes, but before I could get a confirmation, it went blank again. Finally we broke up over a cup of coffee! No explanation and necessarily no expectation.

Present Day…

It’s 7 am in the morning, new beginning, new city and a new job. I picked up every bit of emotional strength required to face this day. I could not identify, is it the excitement or anxiety of this “New” thing that is churning my stomach. Whatever, it may be I still need to compose myself and face this new beginning. But am I strong enough to blow away everything that I once knew as my existence, yet?
Ah!!! It’s already half past eight…and why the heck is the door lock jammed? What I was saying earlier about something new …crap!!!


To be continued ….
