I wish someone told me......
When I was 11 years old that it is absolutely fine to raise hell
against that creep who relentlessly sketches excuses to feel my body in a bad
way. I wish someone told me that you need not to feel guilty about the whole
thing and it is that slime ball who should be ashamed.
I wish someone told me......
When I was standing at the important crossroad of my academic life
that instead of just following the herd I should choose the subjects for my
10+2 as per my strength. If I am good at Mathematics then it is not necessary
that I can perform well in Physics & Chemistry as well.
I wish someone told me......
When I was wasting time & money in various engineering entrance
exams that identify & draw your career path intelligently rather than
making futile attempts in the field which does not interest you. I wish someone
told me that increase your awareness and opt for various different career paths
which align with your inclination.
I wish someone told me......
When was in my late teens & early twenties that this phase of
life is not going to come back so don’t try to act maturely in every situation.
Enjoy the life, take things bit lightly. I wish someone told me then that
acceptance from all cannot be gained. So, don’t feel dejected and disappointed
if you are not able to make it to some so called ‘in’ groups.
I wish someone told me......
Leadership capabilities have few dark sides as well. If you love
to bask in the glory of being in the front, then you should also be ready to
face the brickbats as well. Don’t feel bad when people criticize you….it
actually emphasize that your style has something about which people want to
talk about.
I wish someone told me......
That it is better not to invest your feelings, emotions & time
for a wrong person who gives a damn about it. I wish someone told me that do
not be so overtly emotionally dependant on anyone that even you are scared to
speak your mind due to the insecurity in your relationship. I wish someone told
me that asserting your feelings & thoughts can never drive away the right
person from your life but can help to weed out the wrong ones.
I wish someone told me......
About blogging few years back when it came into existence. I am profoundly
late into entering this wonderful world of blogging. Anyway, ‘Better late than
Never’.
I wish someone told me......About the blissful feeling of motherhood which I am enjoying today
few years back. We would have definitely planned our baby earlier hushing aside
other priorities of life.
In case, this post appears like some regret post of my life then I
would beg to differ. There are so many
unspoken, untold, undone chunk remnants exist in everyone’s life, to which when
they look back compels them to ponder about it.

Wonderfully put Nibedita....So true, I too could relate to so many of these life changing moments.
ReplyDeleteBut we can be the change we wanted to see happen by giving the freedom of making all these decisions to our kids.
P.S.- Love Mishti's pics. Is she wearing a saree in this one?
Exactly ME...I would try to ensure Mishti shouldn't go through these points in her life .
DeleteHe He...she is wearing a 'baby saree' which my mom brought from kolkata :-D
Mistakes can't be undone.. but they teach us things we wouldn't learn without making mistakes!!
ReplyDeleteSo True Radhika....might be that is what we call experiences :-)
DeleteAh!! Story of our life...I would ensure that my son dosen't get to write one such post :)
ReplyDeleteEven I would try my best that Mishti doesn't faces these points in her life :-)
DeleteThey say, experience gives us the tests first and the lessons later... and that is how life works!
ReplyDeleteWonderful prompt on the theme! All the best for the contest!
True...:-)
DeleteThanks.... It feels so good to get a compliment from a 'Premium Blogger' :-D
Ahhhh... Wishes Wishes Wishes... One post ain't enough. Guess just look at Happy Life Moments and loving life right now makes one feel blessed. I've stopped saying 'I wish'
ReplyDeleteYeah one post is not enough indeed.... :-)
