Random Gyan #12: Unwanted People

Pradita Kapahi / February 6, 2018

In life, never be afraid to cut off people that you’d rather not be with. Because when you don’t, you run the risk of putting your energies in unwanted people who mean nothing to you in the first place.

Life is too short to populate it with people who don’t deserve you.

  That’s good to know. Most aren’t that strong to shun the wrong people out of their life. Kudos to you 🙂

    Yeah, maybe they are afraid that they might be type casted as arrogant, rude or impolite. But then you got to do what is more important to you rather than thinking of someone else.

How true! Life is too short to be wasted on people who suck your energy out.

I co-sleep with my daughter and she has a habit of snuggling up to me in bed. I love the feeling! But last night, I woke up with a start and when I groped in the dark, I couldn’t find her. Within seconds I found her at the very edge of the other side of the bed. Relief swamped me as I pulled her back to me, but that fleeting moment when I couldn’t find her was tortuously long! It’s then that it occurred to me that somewhere some hapless mother’s hands may have groped in the dark chill of the night in hopes of finding that familiar warmth and found emptiness instead. My heart goes out to such mothers. It’s to them that I dedicate this poem. Your loss is huge and though there may be others who’s warmth you will come to share in time, that loss is irreparable. Even if I don’t know you, know that I feel for you. #poetry #poet #amateurpoet #igpoetsofindia #poetsofig #poetsofindia #poetsofinstagram #instapoetry #amateurwriter #bloggingmom #loss #death #untimelydeath #demise #child #motherhood #children #freeverse #sadness #irreparableloss #ontheblog #praditakapahi #thepraditachronicles.com

I know this looks bad, like a child's work (no, I think even kids can do better than this), but the only reason why I'm posting this today, out to the world, is because I've always, always been a scaredy cat when it comes to doing something new and something that I have no experience of. . . One of those things has been painting with watercolors... I mean sure I've used them along with other mediums but I've never JUST used watercolors because I'm so scared about the colors all blending into one muddy glob of brown. I suck at blending which is why I never tried my hand at painting since high school. I've only started again about a year back, but always hesitated using watercolors. My go to medium has been aquarelle pencils or just sketching with charcoal pencils. Of late I've also began sketching with micron pens. . . But today I told myself - why are you such a pansy about them? What's the worst that could happen? You will have wasted paper and colors but not time... No, not time. Because you used it for practice. Not everything has to be perfect! Who will know if you fail. And even if you do, so what?! . . And so I started... I painted some three doodles before I began this one and initially even this looked like it wasn't going to amount to much and I was this close to giving up... yet again. But then the bleeding colors began to resemble the forms that I was trying to paint. And then this happened 😊 😊 . . Point is, even though, there's much, much more to learn, this was a beginning, a step to overcome that fear of trying something new. . . So a pat on my back and hurrah for one good effort. Like they say in Hindi - Darr ke aage jeet hai (there's victory beyond fear). P. S. - This is based on an illustration I saw on pinterest. This is not an original work of mine. It's a copy. . .

‘I can’t do this… I’m sorry but I can’t marry you.’ She stood there, frozen, her jaw hanging loose like an unhinged door yawning open. ‘Why?’ is all she could manage. He could see the trembling in her dainty hand, the same hand where only a week ago he had slipped an heirloom ring while they lay lazily under a canopy of stars. ‘I’ll be your forever,” he had promised her. His words stung in his eyes now but he dare not cry. He didn’t deserve to cry. ‘WHY?! Answer me!’ She threw the book she had been reading at him. It hit him square on the forehead. He hadn’t flinched to avoid it. He figured if he couldn’t be ‘the’ man for her, the least he could do was be the object of her abuse like a man. He had no answer for her whys. All he had was bucketloads of regret and cuss words for himself. But an explanation was warranted. ‘Because I cheated on you,’ he left out the once when I was drunk part. No explanations could remedy what he had done. No explanations could undo the consequence of that ‘once’. ‘And because I’ll be a father soon.’ What happened next was anybody’s guess. There were more books aimed at him. An assortment of other things too, that heirloom ring being one of them. There were cuss words and entreaties to not leave. He bore it all and left when she had no more strength to throw things at him. How he wished he could turn back time so he could correct that mistake. Erase it from its inception. How he wished he had never been drunk that night. One friggin dance and a couple of drinks… are you that easy? Aaaghh, you sonofabitch, what have you done?! He rammed his fists into his car but pain was useless. God, why don’t you kill me for this? Kill me…. He pled to an impotent, cloudless sky. That night a freak storm hit the city and a car, driven by a drunk driver, hydroplaned on a slick road, and tumbled down a deep ditch. They recognized who it was by the heirloom ring found in the body’s pocket. He couldn’t have known that some prayers are answered, or he wouldn’t have prayed for redemption. © Pradita Kapahi, 2018. #story #fiction #flashfiction #tragedy #death #praditakapahi #thepraditachronicles.com #ontheblogtoday #writersofindia #igwriters
