We often wear masks to satisfy societal obligations in the name of morality…
As always, a very crisp post and it seems life is very simple with daily routine.
Wait—I read your PS. Life is not a simple routine.
Touching…
Hmmm… mask of happiness. removed for the day… Touching… A loss of partner at an old age can be really painful… and makes one emotionally drained…coz that is the age the partner are more dependent on each other…
I see both my paternal/maternal grand-mothers go through their loss & it is agony .. well-expressed Shilpa:)
I read the post thrice trying to find the ‘shilpa’ touch…
And then read the post script….
There it was…!
Fine piece of writing… Very touching indeed. Not much is written about the elderly these days

Very innovative 55-er and the last line was a master stroke ….PS made the picture complete … excellent …
Beautiful and touching…
I was shocked after i read the PS.
Awesome is the only word for this.
