“Mommy, Look at this picture I shot just now”, said seven-year old Ethan beaming proudly showing a photo in his Dad’s cell phone to his Mom.

“Wow!Ethan.You are so talented “,replied Jane encouragingly while looking at the photo keenly .

Immediately Jane stormed out of the kitchen to confront her husband about several things: Why he let young Ethan use his cellphone, why he is secretly smoking instead of helping her to prepare for Ethan’s birthday party in the evening,  and most importantly, why he started smoking again after he sounded so sincere when he promised her that he will never smoke again just a week ago.

“Is my milkshake ready?” ,yelled my husband from the living room.

Oops! While I was engrossed taking pictures of the pumpkin in every possible angle, I totally forgot about preparing the healthy oats-pumpkin milkshake that I had coaxed my husband into drinking instead of his morning coffee, half an hour ago!

Reborn at 50 #3linetales

As she stood at the lighthouse enthralled , the  waves crashing the shore applauded her victory , the cool breeze soothed her past troubles, the vast ocean reflected her free spirit, and  the dark blue sky made the scenery surreal.

At that moment her entire life flashed before her eyes: how her wanderlust rusted while she survived an abusive marriage, raised children, and worked at two jobs to make ends meet; how she secretly kept saving money ; how she left her husband after her children became financially independent; and how she finally got the courage to realize her childhood dream.

Today, on her 50th birthday,with tears rolling down her eyes, she checked off the first place in her World travel itinerary.

Mom’s time off #3LineTales

“I too need some rest every day”, thought a Mom , who got exhausted managing her restaurant, and catering to every need of her family.

So, at home too, she hung up a ‘SERVICE’ board at the entrance of her bedroom, instructed her family members that she will be at their service only during specific timings in the day and walked into her room for some peaceful “me” time.

After an hour of undisturbed siesta when she happily entered the living room,she was shocked to see the cluttered house which would take her next 3 hours to clean!
