The comfort of home🕊️

Imagine having to wake up and realise 

That breakfast is not warm and ready on the table.

Imagine having to plan your meals daily,

Shop groceries, pay water and electricity bills

Dig up contact numbers of old friends 

To try and keep the contact.

I am moving towards 21 and 

I'm still living under the wings of my generous parents and even friends.

I had an immense superiority complex till last year.

Some kind of a delusion that 

I am capable of doing anything.

But life proved me wrong.

Last week the whole of our family 

Caught a viral fever 

For the first time in my life,

I felt soo vulnerable and helpless 

Inside my family,

I saw that my mother could be weak

I am a 1000 times thankful for 

Santha chechi for coming 

And doing the daily chores 

While we were sick and in pain.

I'm writing this as an appreciation post

And a reminder to myself that

Our parents are also humans

This is their first time living too

So please go easy on them,

Learn to forgive them, understand them

And help them 

With what they are doing.
