I guess a lot of women can relate to this one. This kind of is my story a lot of times when I really want to be in the moment and enjoy my peace but mostly I am glad to have my kids around me as they are really my support :). They are too cute and mostly I don’t mind to disturb them.

A highly evocative piece Mayura. The familiar sort of longing evokes memories from my past, but I don’t recall anyone else with such a yearning, I am sure many people are out there, nurturing wistful dreams like hers. Loved it.

That’s a really lovely read Mayura :). In any marriage, it’s really important that both the individuals strive to make it work. If only one makes the effort, things just go downhill. I liked the way you described the surroundings, the weather and the way these influenced her happiness only to be given a rude shock.
