Birthday and thoughts of death!

 Never on my birthday I had thought about 'death' as much as I did yesterday.

While we celebrate our birthday, someone might be mourning their loved one's death on the same day. This is a raw fact of life, but never it occurred to me until this year's birthday, until I mourned one myself.

Few months ago, I got to know about a friend's death due to post-covid health issue. We shared same birth date. We shared common interest in 'cinema'. We used to discuss about movie reviews. We were relatives, though never met in person. The web series he suggested me last to watch was 'Maharani', to watch which I'm yet to come to terms. I feel, this web series is the only remaining emotion between us.

People come and go. With him, a portion of my desire to write movie reviews has gone too. Hope it's for a temporary period, just like life.

Emotions of kids - ParenthoodDiaries #27

I'm a fan of my kids' raw emotions. Smiles that make my day escape in a flash, fights that make my day last longer than the sun-moon cycles, stubbornness that often seems beyond their age, anger that makes the moments tough for me, oneness that they both display while playing together, ego that I often wonder if these little kids too have it in abundance, and all the other emotions that I do not know how to write about.

Sometimes I feel as if they are growing faster than time and some other tough times I become desperate thinking when they will grow up!

My parenthood journey is a mix of emotions and beautiful moments that I keep bagging and bragging about!
