Don't ask her what makes her happy.
Wander after her soulful eyes and feel what she longs for instead.
You'll find her watching butterflies flutter by, and you'll feel her wanting to let go off her duty-bound feet. You'll see her hands linger over old photos, and you might feel her need to go back to girlhood again.
When you see her lost in thoughts as the curry simmers in the melancholic kitchen, know for sure that she has time-travelled to her Grandma's kitchen where both food and memories were made.
When you notice her taking longer to fold the little ones' clothes, take a moment to watch her feel the fabric and remember herself as daddy's little girl.
When she walks past the golawala in the market, you should know how she loved the kala khatta with extra masala, and how the aroma of fresh herbs made her happy.
If you happen to find your woman peeping out every now and then through the windows of your EMIed home, let her become the girl she misses terribly.
Because monthly instalments suck the life out of the Adult You.
But once in a while, your childhood peeps in through the doors you didn't know were still open.
This, is life. Everything else is monthly payments🙂. Easy come. Easy go.
Live. Love. Laugh.
