The Paso Doble of my Life..!!

The thing about Yesterday is that it won’t come back. No matter how hard we try and how desperate we are to turn back the time. And then there is Today, which can never catch up with Tomorrow. No matter how badly we want to fast forward our life into the future.

So what we are left with is Today. Now. This moment. Seize it. Carpe Diem.

This is exactly what I have been trying to do. My daughter is now more than a year old but seems only like yesterday when she was born. It’s been a memorable journey so far. Parenthood has been quite a learning experience. I have learnt by heart now that the only thing constant in my life is change. There hasn’t been a single day which is a replica of a day previous. Each day brings new excitement and adventures to my otherwise chaotic and dull life. I have found new meaning in being one with my daughter. She is indeed the silver lining in our otherwise cloudy life.

I have been trying hard to stop her from growing up so fast but its inevitable. And only thing I can do is just capture these moments. Make these memories to cherish them for lifelong. Even though you can never get your childhood back, they say you relive it through your child. Those exciting first moments of independence – rolling, sitting, solid feeding, crawling, cruising, walking, babbling - are more for the parents to take pride in. We have been fortunate enough to watch her toddle around the house and create special moments for us. She is the dance of my life. Makes me tough and soft all at the same time. Ergo, nothing defines her better than the Paso Doble! 


* I haven’t written in so long I realize it now than before. And the itch to write is slowly returning back. So, hopefully, I’ll get back in form by the end of this year. That’s only if I keep writing!
