This is my first article for MarriageWise and I am thrilled to share my thoughts and feelings with our readers on the above topic. For me, it is extremely easy to think about what I want to pen down, but the very act, leaves me lost for words. This is going to be one mammoth task to express myself, but nonetheless, here goes…
My life was never a smooth ride for me; it is probably the same with many. However, for every individual I guess, their problems seem to be the most anyone can handle. Tragedy struck my life at a very early age. One wrong decision can ruin many lives; something I learnt at an early age. In the latter part of my life I understood the significant role that my mother played in my life. I used to take her for granted many a time. In fact, when she was strict and I thought she was being cruel to me. I still feel guilty for having such feelings.
All the achievements in my life are because of her. I give her complete credit for my upbringing. She sacrificed a lot in the process, which I’m sure every mother does. However, when a married woman goes through domestic violence by her in-laws and even her husband on the second day of marriage, I cannot even begin to imagine how painful it is. Hence if given a chance, I would like to change her past. As shown in the movie ‘Action Replay’, a young man tries to revive his parents’ wilting marriage in a unique manner – travel to the 1970s when their romance was budding and make it bloom with the help of a time machine. Though the movie was a big time flop, I liked the concept. I would have stopped their (my parents) meeting each other as depicted in Amarkantak. I realize that in the process I would not exist but I am okay with the very idea. Well, this is simply wishful thinking, a very complicated idea, which will never happen. So, I would like to look at some options to make her life more meaningful.
I want her to be positive towards life and make a few changes in them. She should allow the changes to happen but she is unwilling to go down that path. She is still leading her life recollecting the mistakes of her past. If I could, I would like her to be in love with me and life exactly like Sourav’s blog says. I would like to show her beautiful places in India like Shirdi Mandir, Tirupati Balaji, Amarnath and many more; I would like her to continue her education and fulfill her dream of becoming a lawyer. If I could, I would like to find her soul-mate and see her getting married. She has the right to live happily as long as she is alive. That person should provide all the happiness she is destined for. And I am sure MarriageWise is the best place to get this dream fulfilled for me.
To make my thoughts more clear, ending it with a lovely song of Celine Dion
We wish it so much that our mom gets the best and always stay happy. Unfortunately, often we can't do much as she herself resists the change. And, we feel so helpless :-)
