A Heady Fix




O
h! What I didn’t have in life? Good education, well-heeled hubby, intelligent lovely kids, palatial house, servants at my beck and call, socializing friends circle…   All I had to do was just oversee the everyday goings. What more one wants to have in life.  A fulfilling life indeed.

     Still there lurked certain craving.  Some void which I could not figure out. My energy seemed to ebb day by day. My mind turned into a cauldron of confusion. My head was throbbing.  The persistent headaches soon turned pill-resistant, followed by many futile visits to the doctor.

     Meanwhile there was an invitation for stories in a publication. I thought to myself why not give a try? Alas, my maiden attempt fetched me a prize. Buoyed by my success, I started writing some more.  Now I have got recognition. I have my own identity and a small earning that can be called my own.  By the by, I have completely forgotten my headache. Or is it vice versa? Now I know what that I lacked in my life.
