Akshara's Column: The art of balancing relationships Tweet
0 LIKE | 0 COMMENTS |
Hello friends, last week I told you how great it feels to be a woman. However, with privileges come responsibilities and one of the most important ones is maintaining important relationships and doing justice to all of them.
With time, a woman has to adapt to playing various roles like that of a daughter, sister, wife, mother etc and sometimes it becomes difficult to decide how to handle all these relationships without being unfair to any of them.
Last week, I faced a situation where I had to choose between Naitik and Ma. I tried my best not to hurt either of them but it was an emotionally draining situation. After realizing that Naitik was feeling that Ma is interfering too much in our lives, I somehow convinced Ma to return home. I had to coax and convince her that Bhabhi Ma and I would manage, as she didn't feel right leaving before Gayatri Ma returns. If I could, I would never let Ma go as the moments that I spent with her in the past few days were so enjoyable. My tears just wouldn't stop flowing as I asked Ma to go home but thankfully, I handled the situation without letting Ma know that I was doing so against my wishes. Later, I bid Ma a tearful farewell.
I felt bad about how I asked Ma to make a hurried exit, even though she was helping the family. I felt better when Naitik understood that I was missing Ma and the way he behaved was not right. After my sonography, Naitik surprised me by taking me to visit Ma. Not just that, he also apologized to Ma for his rude behaviour and thanked her for all that she has done for our family. He even brought her, Ghewar, Ma's favourite sweet. I felt very happy seeing Naitik trying to bond with Ma and makeup for the way he had treated her earlier. It takes a lot of courage to admit your mistakes and Naitik did just that, I am so proud of him. Friends, this incident made me realize that maintaining relationships becomes a lot easier when we do not let our ego come in between.
Besides being a daughter and wife, I am also a daughter-in-law and it is my duty to keep Gayatri Ma happy, even if it means making some sacrifices on my part. I was very excited about joining yoga classes with Payal as I have heard that it is good for pregnant women, but Gayatri Ma did not approve of it. Even though Naitik felt I should go, I decided not to. After all, it is no use doing things that hurt your loved ones. I agree that Gayatri Ma may be orthodox in her thoughts and beliefs but whatever she says is because of her love and concern for me.
Gayatri Ma is so excited about becoming a grandmother that she has planned a grand pooja where she will announce my pregnancy to all our relatives and friends. Even though I am excited to see how the function goes, I am also a bit nervous and embarrassed. Any woman would feel shy when other women discuss her pregnancy and I will be the centre of attraction at the function. I wonder how I will handle all the attention. Naitik tried to help me to prepare for the occasion by pretending to be in my place while I played taiji's role. Instead of increasing my confidence, he made me more nervous by admitting that it is not easy. But it was fun teasing Naitik and making him understand how difficult it is to be a pregnant woman.
While everything is going fine, there is one matter that has been troubling me. The other day Bauji, Shaurya Bhaiya and Chachu visited us. They seemed to be discussing some serious issue with Naitik and the rest of the family but stopped as soon as I entered the room. I wonder if it's anything serious, else why would everyone try and hide it from me? I tried asking Naitik but he insisted that everything is fine. I will try to find out what the matter is at the pooja that Ma has organized at home, but I pray that it is nothing serious.

Khushbu - Hello Akshara. You are superb by dressing and your smile is so sweet. I want to know one thing when your Dadaji will come from village.
Akshara – I am glad you like my dressing sense Khushbu. As for Dadaji even we are waiting for his return. Hope his work is completed soon and he returns home.
Khushi Kashyap – Hi Akshara,, I heard your naming your child as 'NAKSH'. It's very good name but I would suggest u to name child as 'NAKSHATRA'. It's just a meaningful extension of naksh dat goes well with hindu mythology as well. It contains double A's and R of Akshara and T of Naitik as well in last part in addition to naksh(atra).hope u both like it. Naksh will be the pet name of your child.
Akshara - Hi Khushi, Naitik and I have not yet decided the name of our child but I like your suggestion. Nakshatra is a beautiful name and is an extension of Naksh the name that you loving fans have given Naitik and me.
