I stood on the swaying train, the familiar rumble of the tracks beneath my feet. My family had already disembarked onto the bustling platform, their figures growing smaller as the train pulled away. I was about to follow suit when a surge of power jolted the train forward, throwing me off balance. Fear gripped my chest as the train accelerated, the world outside a blur of passing scenery. Desperation fueled my decision as I hurled my suitcase onto the platform and leaped from the moving train.
The air rushed past me as I tumbled through the gap between the train and the platform. Time seemed to slow as I landed with a jarring thud, the impact sending shockwaves through my body. Scrambling to my feet, I dusted myself off and glanced back at the train, now a distant speck on the tracks. A wave of relief washed over me, quickly replaced by a pang of worry for my belongings.
Retracing my steps, I found my suitcase lying open on the platform, its contents scattered across the concrete. A tall, distinguished-looking gentleman approached me, his kind eyes offering a glimmer of hope. “Allow me to assist you,” he said, his voice gentle and reassuring. As we gathered my belongings, I overheard someone address him as “professor,” a title that added to his air of authority.
Just as I was about to thank the professor, a shrill whistle pierced the air. I turned to see a second train hurtling towards the platform, its windows a kaleidoscope of faces. A surge of excitement pulsed through me as I spotted my grandmother among the passengers, her face etched with concern. I waved frantically, my voice lost in the din of the approaching train. But it was too late. The train roared past, its windows a blur of motion, leaving me with a gnawing sense of emptiness.
I stood alone on the deserted platform, the weight of my lost luggage and the separation from my wife pressing down on me. The setting sun cast long shadows, painting the scene in hues of orange and purple. The rhythmic chugging of the train echoed in the distance, a haunting reminder of my journey and the uncertainties that lay ahead.

Life’s Hidden Symphony: Unveiling the Marvels Woven Beyond the Spotlight
In the enchanting masquerade of existence, where the spotlight choreographs its mesmerizing dance on the visible stage, an exquisite ensemble of unsung heroes clandestinely stitches the intricate tapestry of life. From the tech alchemists who conjure digital wonders to the architects of the heart’s sanctuary, their silent symphony—especially the unsung orchestrators, our spouses—transcends the mundane, crafting not just homes but dreams, resonating in the spaces between heartbeats.
Picture life as an ever-evolving mosaic where applause showers upon the bold strokes, yet beneath the surface lies the artistry of our spouses. Co-creators in this ever-shifting masterpiece, they shape the canvas of our lives with subtleties that reverberate like an exquisitely tuned symphony.
Their role transcends household management; they are architects of dreams, delicately guiding us toward the pinnacle of our potential. Their support is the unseen zephyr beneath our wings, propelling us into the stratosphere of personal and professional triumphs.
Yet, their endeavors often linger in the shadows, eclipsed by the humdrum of the everyday. In the grand theatre of life, where narratives unfurl and dreams take flight, our spouses emerge as backstage enchanters, weaving alchemy that transforms the mundane into the extraordinary.
And then, there is my extraordinary partner, Sowmya—a virtuoso sculpting not merely roles but an opulent symphony of creativity. Her meticulous craftsmanship, from the artful naming of channels to crafting visuals and orchestrating edits, transcends the mere notion of duty—it’s a revelation of her artistic brilliance. Without her, a life of YES, a life intertwined in creativity and shared dreams, would not have come into existence. It is her brainchild that fuels the very essence of our shared existence.
Acknowledging the transformative role of spouses unravels a profound truth—we needn’t earmark a specific day to celebrate them. Every dawn is a fresh mosaic, and they, the virtuosos crafting the stories of our lives. Here’s to the unsung heroes, the architects, the dream-weavers—thank you for being the silent symphony in our lives.
Let’s also honor the sacrifices they make, not just in dreams but in desires. Sometimes, they set aside their own wishes to bask in our joy. It’s a poignant reminder of a well-known adage, “You cannot pour from an empty cup.” Amidst life’s clamor, the clarion call is for self-care, to focus on dreams, desires, and wants. Here’s to not merely acknowledging their contributions but championing their own fulfillment. 🌌💖🎨
