Its my grandmom's b'day tomorrow and long story short... a lot of her side of the family have flown down to A'bad for it.... here are some people i have never met in my entire life... or at least not since i was two... of the 10 or so people most are women... women who are strong... women with mothers and children... women who love to laugh and love.... women who live life the way they want to without a man to lead them.... women with daughters... crazy women .... Swaminathan women!!!
I dont know these women but i love them... they are amazing... what strength and courage... this is my family... my roots... and how simple yet important it is to feel like you belong... and i felt it... today... one of those rare times when i think i really do belong... these are people i want to be.. want to learn from... i dont know how to put my feelings into words... but suddenly i feel less liek a freak... or at least... less like a freak alone... heh... i know whereever i am, they are behind me... around me.... inside me... there are fireworks that have set themselves off inside me... my blood is the same as theirs... i have a family that is like me.... me... me who is so different.... iv found a part of me... and it feels so good to be part of something.... to be part of something while still being your true self

I know exactly wat u mean..catching up with ur roots is like delving deep into ur past and discovering hidden gems that have all contributed to wat u are today...unaware tho u may have been and its such an overwhelming yet humbling feeling :)
the roots have to be strong for a tree to withstand the test of time...so here's a cheer to the women behind this lil punk ive come to like :p
A few years back,i had huge issues with my family,not js d immediate one,bt al d relatives n stuff...Coz we had differing outlooks towards life...I used 2 avoid and ignore them as far as possible...
Gradually d wisdom dawned upon me dat dis ppl may seem to be polar opposites of me(some of them are !)...bt al of them have played some role or another in what i m today...
Coz i believe dat each interaction with a some1 leaves an imprint on our mind-be it positive or negative...By dat count,dis ppl hv left millions of imprints over d years..
May be d process of reconciliation with them is still not complete..but ur blog reassures that our roots are indeed important !
Why am I always lost in the thoughts you depict, guys, tell me why is there such a magical effect in her words?
