I have been his childhood crush, a distant memory tucked away in the corners of my mind. We had lost touch when he went off to military school, and all I could recall was his name, a name associated with academic excellence and achievements. It was in 2018 when he requested me on Instagram, and out of curiosity, I accepted. He messaged me, saying, “Remember?” but the truth was, the only thing I remembered was his name, as he used to top our class back then.

Who the hell writes letters these days?
It was very tough to go through the strictness, loyalty, respect, and love within a couple who are far from each other and spending each day waiting for that call from unknown number in hope of that he might call me from somewhere.
A letter to my future Fauji Comrade
The pride in my eyes
My Pahadi Major
Stepping over the line of 26, I have entered the alleys of reality, but irrespective of how many years pass by, I believe you are out there somewhere, seeking me just as I seek you. It does not seem possible that we have met already; otherwise, how can I not recognize this extraordinary moment of my life. Continue reading “A letter to my future Fauji Comrade”

I came to know about the same when he asked me to book his tickets back from Bhopal to Pune after his SSB.

फौजी का बक्सा – एक फौजी पत्नी की जबानी
मैं नई -नई ब्याह कर जब आई थी,
पति के पास कुल एक बक्से की कमाई थी,
काले रंग में वो इतराता पड़ा था
सफेद बड़े अक्षरों में नाम लिखा था….
खोला तो पाया कुछ फ़ाइलें… किताबें, वर्दी और जूते जुराबें
और एक डायरी संजोई जिसमें कुछ फौजी बातें…
मैने पूछा, ये बॉक्स इतना चौड़ा और कम ऊँचा क्यों है?
वो बोले, ट्रेन की सीट के नीचे आ जाए इसीलिए…
‘हम्म’ कह कर मैं मुस्कुराई थी, जैसे जीवन भर की दौलत मैने पाई थी । Continue reading “फौजी का बक्सा – एक फौजी पत्नी की जबानी”

Two souls, lost in their own world..
“Love”! I always wonder why this word is so fascinating to everyone till I didn’t find it.
This isn’t something fictional rather its beyond reality. It is something which will make you realize how you are important to somebody who truly loves you. And i found mine when i hadn’t expected.
Though we were schoolmates but never talked to each other. He was my senior and an outstanding sportsman. At that very time i used to watch him playing but never had any conversation because i was bit rude to everybody.
When he passed out of school he went in his on way and I had my own. After years he found me on Facebook and messaged me and I recognized him by saying” tum woh he ho na jo girte pdhte har balls pick krte thy”…… I was like seriously we started like this. Though he was preparing for SSB so we rarely used to conversation and at that very moment i hadn’t thought about his feelings(which he never confessed).
After he cleared his SSB he confessed his love for me but I never bother ❤️
about his emotions ,because at that time I was into solitude mode where I never wanted any conversation and relationship. I was so rude to him, i blocked him from everywhere but still he used to call me through different numbers and i used to get frustrated with this kind of attitude.
Later when he went away on his training and his hundred calls became zero then i started feeling something is missing. I had no idea what it was till i realized he was so different and he is the only one with whom i can thought to share my everything. After month he called me and i thought to confess my feelings. And the moment i said yes, he was shocked altogether happy too and i was so happy that i found him. What touched me the most was his patience and his belief in his true love. He waited patiently for 1year, baring my stupid ,arrogant, rude and emotionless behavior.
And now he is world to me, even we had less conversation because of his busy schedule but still he gives me his every single time of his freedom there and i always thank him for loving me no matter how i reacted .
What is important is your patience to get something and patience to bare every up and downs. No relationship is perfect, it is something which both sides needs to work upon if it gets difficult to handle because thats your real test.
Everybody asks me how you both manage your long-distance relationship. I simply say we don’t manage it we just live it, we live its every moment, we celebrate our togetherness. And that’s simply love is to us now.
I wait for his calls and he waits to get free to have conversation that’s something only army couples can understand . Love never demands, it only when we expect something for which we never worked upon… ❤️
Birth Story – Beginning of Motherhood
You never know what is destined for you or anyone. It’s all planned by one universal energy and nothing can go against it.. 😇
I am a person who plans every bit of the day and things should go calculated and with a plan B too. My pregnancy was equally the same. Target was not to put on more than 12-15 Kilos as I already have a history of PCOD, which I very well accomplished as I gained 12 kilos only. Keeping up with the fitness and healthy food habits, not giving up on calorie control ( pregnancy makes you feel little lenient about food habits for sure), actively went to gym till 6 months and the last trimester i.e 7-9 months, walking was a must so do squats. Wanted my pregnancy to go as good as possible and of course a Normal Vaginal delivery. 😊😊 Continue reading “Birth Story – Beginning of Motherhood”
