JANYA – A Life

All things Bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful, the good god made them all…

It was a Friday evening; Chhaaya was waiting for Outlook to complete the spell check on her mail. She was sending the weekly status report to the clients from her laptop. At last the long awaited days were here… she could from work from home…Comfortably sitting on her cozy bean bag, with a mug of hot coffee, enjoying the chilly breeze from her 5th floor “Brigade Millennium” apartment’s balcony. She suddenly remembered that she had to check on Janya… so she peeped into the front yard to check on the lil kid.

Janya was jumping with joy… All her little friends gathered around her… and singing her praise… And there she was… holding on one hand “The All rounder cup” she won at her primary school today and hugging Toobie with the other. Mom had got her the favorite Toobie (white teddy bear) … which was almost half her size….

Janya was an adorable kid… the charm on her face… the spark in her eyes… those chubby cheeks… her glowing smile; even the dark tan on her skin was entrancing. Janya’s bubbly face always brought in more meaning to Chhaaya’s life…It made her completely oblivious of the status reports, client calls, Time & Cost estimations and the new project proposals…. Spending time with Janya completely relieved of all her pressures of the project “Avanaad” that she managed…

It had been proud moments for Chhaaya…as she witnessed her daughter receive the award at the Annual day functions at “Sishya Bala Bhavan”… She was filled with contentment…. She had finally found a meaning for her life…..
