Daenerys, Mother of Dragons


Daenerys, who is my oldest friend, she was just unhappy with life. But she had everything - beauty, lot of attention because she is the only child, great career, great friends but never satisfied with what life has offered you, almost on a platter. She is a fighter with a cause!

Daenerys, mother of dragons. True to her name, she loves being a mother to all beings, even to friends and also to her mother! She had anchored all her past baggage and had stood still refusing to move on. Living in the past with all her memories in her pocket like dried flowers which has lost its perfume. It was scary, living in that world which is so distant from reality. I tried to bring her back and she made me promise her that I would never stop advising her even if she was very stubborn. She stopped being stubborn and I outgrew my utility as a counselor. She had always yearned to escape from her past and step into a life with new challenges cutting loose of her anchors which weighed her down. I was happy that she had moved on to pursue her passion of helping anyone who needed her. 

Relationships are very fragile and it is time we cut loose and start all over again. I remember a beautiful song by Sahir Ludhiyanvi from the Hindi movie, gumraah.

 

"Tarruf rog ho jae, to usko bhulna behtar talluk bojh ban jae,
to usko todna achchha woh afsana jise anjam tak,
lana na ho mumkin woh afsana jise anjam tak,
lana na ho mumkin use ek khubsurat mod dekar,
chhodna achchha chalo ek bar phir se,
ajnabi ban jaye ham dono chalo ek bar phir se,
ajnabi ban jaye ham dono"

 

When familiarity becomes an affliction it is better to forget it
When relationship becomes a burden it is better to break it
The story which can not be brought to a happy ending
It is better to give it a beautiful turn and leave it
Come, let us be strangers once again
