She Flew before I Knew


I wish You the Ambition of Wings and the Stability of Roots but even more importantly, I Wish You the Vision of Balancing the Two !!



The Heart gets so overwhelmed that it might jump out, beating so fast, holding  This Li'l bundle of Joy.. This Precious Angel.. Tender and Warm.. And all one could think is to protect her from any harm. One wonders, is it a Dream or a Miracle and she chooses the very moment to open her eyes and look. She blinks and looks around. Her smile is so intoxicating that everything else seizes to exist and before you could realize, She becomes your world.

Time flies and one does not even realize that she has grown up so much. You would see her running around with her tiny feet and a tinkling toy truck trailing behind, a Barbie in hand, adorning a Smile of a Princess; thriving in the attention she gets from everybody.
She would look up to her mother mesmerized by her Beauty, Grace and Aplomb. She would try to dress up like her, use her Make up and admire herself in the mirror. Who would have known that her innocent imitation of worshiping in the Pooja Ghar with her Grandmother enchanting the mantras using her baby vocabulary is planting the seeds of Values of her lineage. She would dramatize going to office or attending a phone call just like her father. In her very own way she started discovering how the world around functions. She would listen with such intent, the stories her Grandfather would narrate; those would drift her into the beautiful world of Dreams comprising of Fairy tales, Angels and triumphs of Good over Evil.



Sooner than you thought, this phase of Kindergarten would be transitioned into years of Formal Learning and she gets surrounded by Teachers, Mentors, Gurus and Peers. From an aquarium she swims into a pool of people she looks up to, admire, considers her idol, make friends with. The Melody of your life now gets new songs to learn and sing. The wait in her eyes for her Best Friend before cutting her Birthday Cake or the night spent baking Cupcakes and decorating a Teacher's Day Card for her favorite Teacher becomes the Building Blocks for the relationships she would make and cherish in her life.
 Her Teen Years would bring fresh share of learning for you about the world that has changed for better or worse. You would want to embrace her and comfort her during her Heart Breaks while she would seek her friends. You would yearn for her time and attention the way she did when younger. 

She would face her growing years with the strength she always admired in you, with the courage she got from her father and the wisdom of her grandparents. She is a Pilot flying high; a Doctor comforting someone ailing, an Engineer building bridges or programming codes to make this world a better place. In this fast paced world, she loves the Rain and a cup of tea. She goes on Shopping excursions and funds for a child's education. 
She is a Charisma in her own way, Vivacious yet subtle, Voguish yet Innocent. The World wants her but she is only yours until , She finds her Prince Charming who would treasure your Lovesome. And The day would come she would fly off with Him to build her own Nest and be blessed with her own Li'l Bundle of Joy !!

cumin a full circle.
dis write up kinda reminds me of beauty pageants where d host talks all abt women at d strt. she is a child, she is a mother n so forth.
beautifully penned down.

reminds me of a poem i recently read. no connection watsoever may i add-

'Fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too'

~John Mayer

i hope d writin zeal continues :)

A torrent of emotions wrapped around a realization of a daughter, about what's it like to be a daughter, hoping the same will be reflected in the eyes of the people she loves.

Isn't it surprising that what starts as something so beautiful can end up in so many different ways? Still what makes a woman (or a man) what she (he) is the stories their lives are weaved of.

A sweet lovable daughter transformed to a bubbly teenager to a responsible and versatile woman who feels every ounce of her family and loved ones to a sensitive yet head strong mother, the whole journey, it's so amusing, circumscribing a hell lot of emotions and feelings and phases, it's just ineffable :)
