Amazing Women - Second Story

Hello All,

This is the collection of short stories dedicated to the women whose lives have influenced me in one way or another. Their stories are not very trans-formative but they do teach us something about life and its journey. And how these women found happiness and hope in their darkest hour. As a disclaimer, this is my interpretation of their feelings through conversations and by being an observer.

"M" - Her name literally means "fish". In Hindu mythology it is also one of the synonyms of "Parvati" who is Shiv's wife.

Life is a Journey

I met "M" during my first year undergrad in India. It was hard to miss her - she had the prettiest face, with curly hair, spotless complexion, and rosy pink lips. And on top of that she has such a sweet voice and personality that no wonder half of the guys in the college had a major crush on her.

She and I had different personalities. She was raised in lot of restrictions and constant being reminded about the boundaries that the girls had to follow. I was raised with no boundaries. She was sophisticated and I was a tom boy. She had folks who would take care of her and I was on my own.

To be continued.
