Greatest moments of life

Someone just asked me ," Has the greatest moment in your life arrived?"
I failed to answer the question and just smiled.

What would I say? There are so many moments in my life which are so special and close to my heart. 

Is it the moment when I saw my tears of joy in my mother's eye when I was awarded a rank?
Is it the moment when my dad whispered," I am proud of you" when I got a job.
Is it the moment when my relatives envied my success?
Is it the moment when my friend's sister told me ," Sister, you are an inspiration and I want to become like you."
Is it the moment when I saw my daughter, my bundle of joy for the first time?
Is it the moment when I held my son for the first time?
Is it the moment when my daughter wiped away my tears and assured that everything will be OK?
Is it the moment when my son stood up for me and fought for my rights?
Is it the moment when I was at the verge of giving up but fought back against all odds?
Is it the moment when I realised that," I am proud of myself for the way god has created me?

All these moments have made me. They have given me innumerable lessons. I cannot point out one single moment because these have build me and given me an identity. So every moment in my life is the greatest even if it has broken and shattered me. Because it has given me wings to fly in that sky which was just my dream.

You are a mother now

My life completely changed when I saw those two pink lines. He was equally elated. The first thing people started asking me was -" Do you want a girl or a boy baby?" Honestly I didn't want a girl and I had my own reasons for that. I didn't want her to be a show piece whom people would judge. I didn't want her to be a epitome of patience and allow anyone to oppress her. I didn't want her to be a entertainer in the name of marriage. I didn't want her to live her life according to others wish. I didn't want her to cry alone and suffer just because Allah made her different. I didn't want her to be like me!  But Allah had other plans. He blessed me with a girl. The day I saw her, I started crying, I didn't know whether it was out of joy or sadness. I cried my heart out. She was so tiny and the nurse said she was just like me! A relationship between a mother and a child is the purest one on the earth. I started falling in love with her ev

To live or to die?

You know what's the toughest stage in life? It's when you don't know whether you want to live or die. Your mind is just confused, stuck and blank. Somedays you want to achieve a lot of things in your life and somedays you just don't feel like getting up from bed. You feel like you have no reason to live and no reason to die either! 'You got one life and you need to live it according to your terms!' - I have heard such lines from many life coaches and others. But do we even get to live according to our terms? If you are a woman- then you don't have choice in anything. Even if you are independent, somewhere your life always gets stuck between family and career. Woman are just trained from childhood, trained to be people pleaser. You ate a chocolate without your parents permission, you are a bad girl. You chose black t-shirt- you are bad because your mother likes white. In this cycle, we forget what do we like actually? We eventually start killing o

True vs Fake

Sometimes grief just eats you up. You feel like crying loudly and tell the world that you can no longer handle it. You are just done with your life. Sometimes you can't even cry and there is a weird sorrow inside your stomach. You can neither vent it out nor let out a cry.  I wonder what has my life turned into. A complete mess! When you think finally things are falling into place, that's when you realise it's beginning of a new obstacle. The only question which remains in my mind is 'Why me?' I never thought that a girl who always excelled in studies will fail in life. Failure never hurts me but the expectations which I keep from people does. I always thought a heart which is truthful can live a beautiful life but that's a complete lie. A liar lives the best life. You should know how to trick and manipulate. But I still haven't learned it yet! I don't even want to!  How do fake people live? I always wonder. Aren't they tired of putting u
