My story- My second life
Am a happy and self contented homemaker with a supporting family right now.
Immensely grateful to Dr. Pawan Mittal for giving me the inspiration to write my story.
Am feeling a sense of calmness, fulfilness and gratitude now, for the blessings I have received so far in my life..inspite of a lot of trauma undergone by me..
Had a happy childhood days with my caring parents. Learnt carnatic music for 5 years with my Mom’s support.Lived a normal life like any other middle class family..My parents encouraged me to learn Music, emerge as Hindi Pandit and participate in extra curricular activities at school..Was a well known student at school among all the students and teachers..
Got appointment in IndiaPost during first year of my college based on my 12th marks..What else do I need..Getting a job before finishing college..I felt so blessed.
My parents got me married after I finished my UG.. (along with DCA during college)
However I missed “me time” before marriage.
From a small family of 3(me & my parents) to a joint family of 7 , from a small decent town to Chennai… every thing was new to me..But I learned to manage with the support from my husband
Who knows what Life will give us the next moment…After marriage taking care of kids and nursing elderly people(3 inlaws) became my sole profession..I tried and waited for transfer to Chennai but it was getting delayed..Finally quit my job for my kids…When children started growing, inlaws’ health started deteriorating and one after another they became bed ridden…
I wish I took nursing during my college days instead of Physics so that it would’ve helped me in the long run… My passion for singing faded away…
Now , after finishing my responsibility , I have started singing again…. Taking time for physical wellness and ofcourse mental well-being too through my mentor Dr. Pawan Mittal.
I’ve experienced a lot of emotional trauma and depression over the years. But now Am able to overcome those thoughts and keep myself calm tto some extent..Am feeling confident that I could soon come out completely of those thoughts troubling me.
Thanks to my beloved husband, son and daughter for being my pillar of support
Ofcourse life is not a bed of roses..It if full of struggles and challenges…Drown in it or come out stronger..The choice is yours
Whatever may come in life…heal…move on and don’t become like those who hurt you..You can… and you will…
