This little couplet was written just before the DH and I met for the first time. We were in different countries. We were married a year later on 12 March, 2016. Ever since we haven’t written anything together (travails of a married life, I suppose). Though in the past we have spoken about collaborating to write a book together. Que Sera Sera!

Afterword:

The festival was my impetus to #writebravely and it helped me appreciate and acknowledge what I have. It also was an eye opener of sorts, as it took me back in time and carried me to a journey forward. It helped reiterate how much I enjoy writing fiction.

In a span of seven odd days, I imbibed a few life altering changes which I’m still working on. I have started eating healthier, waking up earlier, promising myself to exercise regularly and I’m determined to follow these through. This isn’t coincidental, as I believe everything in life is synchronous. The Write Tribe Festival of Words pushed me to write on weekends which I usually don’t. So I guess, it was a test of sorts – of my will-power and determination; to keep at it, and to refrain from using excuses of not following a routine. I wrote, despite the odds.

The Write Tribe WhatsApp group worked as a catalyst to keep me going. The group members were just plain extraordinary, in their jest and motivation. A big ((thank you group hug)) to them and our leader Corinne Rodrigues.

Till the next festival of words, Cheerio!
