Real / new me - I have been in a dilemma for quite sometime now, unable to make a decision. The issue is not life threatening, or something that would make a huge difference to my way of life. It will not affect anybody else. It is just a practice I have been following. I got into it without any great debate. It is an image of myself I have projected for nearly 20 years. Yet, it is not a lie; I didn’t cheat anybody. It is the image I felt comfortable with, that made me feel I care for myself. It is one of the habits like wearing fresh-clean-starched-ironed cotton saree that I would find difficult to get out of.
My sister Indira once told me that for her it took the same type of courage as to visit strange countries by herself.
I have decided to give up this practice while being away from home among strangers. Getting used to my own image, hopefully, will help me to face my family and friends' raised eyebrows when I meet them.
