Like many of you would say about your life, mine too has been unpredictable. The story so far would surely excite a producer. I would leave that version for you to know to another day.
For now, here is something about my roots.
I was privileged to be born in a joint family that gave me lessons of caring, unity, sharing, patience, love and much more from the tender days.
Being the only child to my parents and first one of the family, love was never in deficit – I guess that’s when having a critic in life is very necessary.
Mothers can do that job best I believed (My opinion changed, as life did). From taking important decisions for me to letting me fall and get cracked, she had her ways to mould me. Eventually, when she was confident that her daughter was prepared to face the realities of life, she precisely tossed me onto the field. On her death bed, all she wished for was a strong career for me.
In time, on one hand she received the certification of my success and on the other she succumbed to death.
Yes! At the age I had a career, a bank balance, a fan following, I did not have my best critic anymore.
But, the show must go on, and it did till I did the first finding for life myself. The decision was to get married to the person of my choice. Wanting to be the perfect home maker, I forgot about being the perfect version of Saudamini.
That’s when the opinion about mothers being the best critic changed. A spouse can do an equally good job – Trust me!
Thanks to the man I married, I am now unfolding life with different perspectives and trying to give my life a new meaning.
I have role played as a daughter, son, sister, brother, wife, aunt, friend and much more. But probably now its time to play the role of ‘Saudamini‘!
