Love

And it's been two weeks now, since I've stepped into my mother's shoes. Two weeks since she has got the surgery and she still needs time to recover. It already pains my heart to even think of leaving her when she's in such condition. God knows how I am actually going to do that!!

Though it hasn't been easy to be in her shoes but somehow I gathered all the strength because it was the question of the people I love the most. I found it extremely difficult to wake up at 7:30 or 8 o'clock every morning to go for lectures but it did not make me think twice before waking up at 7 a.m. every morning to get the maids do their part of work, take a shower and do all those household chores which Mom used to do, then serve lunch to everyone, clean the tables and do the dishes and so on till 11 o'clock in the night. It has been tiring two weeks but what was most important to me was the health of my Mom and Dad.

I think in wonder, how much I have grown in just two weeks. I have proved to myself that I am capable of sacrificing much more than I ever imagined for those whom I truly care about and love unconditionally.

Calcutta has given me a lot but since the time I have left Calcutta, I achieve new heights every time I come back. Every visit makes me grow as a person, as a protector. Every visit gives me a new identity to keep for life and new memories to cherish.

Cheers to Calcutta, to family and most importantly to the beautiful emotion called love...
