Positively Infectious

With absolutely no idea what awaited further, I had decided to step away from my comfort zone and move to another city. For an Indian girl in her twenties that meant no family, friends,being on your own and so on..; and while I was unraveling the logistics, culture and people in the new city, there was this girl who welcomed me with a smile so wide that reached her eyes.

She would say 'My pleasure'  everytime I expressed  'thank you' for helping me understand the who's who at workplace, and one would know she genuinely said so, rather than for the sake of it  Two years down the line , our courtesy talks progressed into a wonderful bond of friendship.


Nisha , a girl brimming with enthusiasm with an energy so positive like one would derive seeing golden daffodils in spring dancing happily as the sun expanded its rays across the horizon. It would infect every person she met.

Today, this woman is a gorgeous mother of a cute little two-month old boy who she named 'Khush' meaning happy, who is as playful as her.With all the pandemonium of a new born in the house she is still at her sporty best rejoicing the new phase in her life

Oh boy! Even during her pregnancy she would hop from one place to other, working night shifts, organizing events, volunteering sports activities  and so much, it made us all wonder how she did it. I still remember both of us contemplating endless crazy things like a game of thrones theme for her baby 😅

As our talks matured, I knew there were troubles she had, problems she faced, things she was angry at, just like a normal human being. But this Sindhi girl, taught me to take life as it comes, without regrets, and most importantly to not be guilty for your flaws. She does not mask it, rather wears it as as a shield.

This new mommy's positively infectious energy has me smitten everytime I meet her and leaves me smiling like a happy kid at the end

Nisha- Thank you for embracing me with so much of happiness and love. Your energy has me infected and keeps me going..

Do you have such friends that give you similar feeling ? Let me know in the comments
