Hello back to my blog


It's been a while since I wrote and that sentence makes me feel incredibly old. It's been a while since I was married too, and that itself has been a huge change and a turnaround in life. The very process has taught me many things, which life does not give you time to write about. Those memories are re-lived over endless cups of chai and staring outside the window or in conversations with friends. But, marriage is also healing. But, none of that right now. I am kind of 'healing' and that's still work in progress. I went over few of the older posts, and I realised there is lots I have said and lots which I no longer say to anyone now. It is kind of disquieting at first. Nothing very literary or very liberating either, you may say. Have I changed? That's a question with possibly a hundred answers and none of those on my fingertips as of now. I am a better person for some, a bit lethal for more than I was before. I have some untied threads from the past, like everybody else. And, there's no shame in admitting some of the wrongs still come to mind once in a while. Just the wrongs though, not the good bits.
Travel has been immensely healing, and I cannot begin to talk about how much my companion has added bigger quotient of happiness by being with me on those trips. I have held his hand only to feel happiness come back in spurts and that's as soppy as I have ever been. Like I said, possibly a hundred answers and maybe this is one.

Loved it Neha! You portrayed a disarming honesty in those few lines.
