`Goddess Energy`

Some days, I wake up and feel powerful

Strong

Invincible

A modern Durga- Goddess Energy

Ready to conquer the world

And then… life gently taps me on the shoulder and says:

“Sit down, ma’am. Please.”

`Scene 1: When I Try to Be Fierce… But Burn a Dosa`

I stand in the kitchen like a warrior

Spatula in hand

Flame blazing

Looking like I’m about to perform some cosmic battle

But the dosa?

The dosa betrays me

It sticks

It tears

It becomes an abstract art

Durga Devi, holding ten weapons, watches from above:

“Beta… I gave you Shakti. Not for fighting with that tawa.”

`Scene 2: My Argument With the Fan`

I’m trying to work

The fan is rotating like a confused helicopter

Too slow. Too fast. Off. On

I finally snap:

“WHY are you doing this to me?!”

Durga Devi, sitting on Her lion:

“My child… of all the demons in the world, you picked a ceiling fan to fight?”

Lion nods in disappointment

`Scene 3: When I Roar Like Durga… But Over Small Things`

Someone leaves the cupboard open

I transform

Someone keeps the tap dripping

I ascend into the warrior mode

Someone misplaces the remote

I unleash energy levels that NASA would study

Durga Devi gently observes:

“This would be great energy… if it wasn’t used for absolutely nothing.”

`Scene 4: The Saree Struggle`

Every picture of Durga shows her saree PERFECT

Not one pleat out of place

Hair flying glamorously

Weapons in hand

Zero stress

Meanwhile, I try to drape a saree and become a hostage inside my own pleats

Durga Devi looks down and sighs:

“Girl… REALLY?”

`Scene 5: The Daily Asura — Household Chores`

Every day, a new demon rises:

The Laundry Asura

The Dust Bunny Rakshasa

The Kitchen Mess Mahishasura

The Terrifying Tupperware That Falls From Above

I stand with my mop like it’s a trishul…

and defeat them one by one…

dramatically…

while Durga Devi claps politely like:

“Not bad. But again… unnecessary.”

`Final Moment: The Truth Behind Her Teasing`

At the end of the day—when I’m tired, messy-haired, overthinking ten things at once, and narrating my own daily tragedy like it’s a mega serial—I imagine Durga Devi looking at me with that half-smile of hers

Not the frightening, warrior smile

but The soft one

The “I know you better than you know yourself” smile

And in that quiet moment, she tells me:

“You’re not weak

You’re human

And you’re doing far better than you give yourself credit for.”

She pulls me close with her eyes, like a mother who watches her child struggle with a shoelace and thinks it’s the cutest thing ever

“Even your chaos,” she says,

“is adorable

You think you’re falling apart, but I see you learning

I see you trying

I see your heart.”

And suddenly… everything inside me softens

Because maybe the problem isn’t my life

Maybe the problem is the way I look at it

Maybe—just maybe—

if I changed my perspective even a little,

I’d see that I’m not failing…

I’m growing

And with that thought, with that realization, with a change in my perspective, the entire day feels lighter

`here's to conclude with a disclaimer`

this is a pure view about myself and the circumstances which i feel as a challenge to control my inner feelings and emotions

my attempts to respond to situations or to people which i fumble but am still trying

this may not be with everyone but with people like me who are still taking baby steps towards leading a meaningful and spiritual life with always keeping their gods or spiritual gurus by their side as a guide to look up to in stressful situations
