Nila

Nila’s Impeccable Plan 

The soft rays of the morning sun, 

The sweet fragrance of jasmine, 

The comforting warmth of her Tulsi tea, 

Nila soaks in her blissful morning ritual. 

What she loves most is the silence, 

The calm before her two teenage boys wake up. 

It’s the weekend, and there’s a lot to plan. 

They’ll all sit around the table after breakfast. 

They divide tasks and make meal plans. 

Who should do the laundry and when? 

Who’s turn it’s to pick up the supplies? 

Who’s going to do the dishes after dinner? 

Nila lays out the blueprint for the next week. 

Yes, she’s a homemaker, but she doesn’t have to do it all. 

Her boys know they need to do their part, 

So does her husband, without a speck of doubt. 

The home runs as an oiled machine, 

Thanks to Nila’s impeccable plans. 

But now she knows everything can’t be planned. 

There’ll be unannounced guests, 

Like what she saw in the mirror a few months back. 

It started as a swelling in her left breast. 

Soon, she found rashes on the skin. 

Her nipple retracted in, and blood oozed out. 

Her plans seemed to come down crashing, 

And her future, a big black hole. 

Yes, she was thrown off the track for a while, 

But she soon got back up and made a plan. 

A plan to save her breasts and claim her life back. 

Her foolproof plan didn’t fail her this time, either. 

Nila smiles as she hears a rustle from the bedroom, 

Her twin sons will barge into the balcony at any moment, 

Her husband, too, will soon be out of the shower. 

They’ll sit around the kitchen table, 

Eating, laughing, pulling each other’s legs, 

They’ll make an impeccable plan, 

Not just for a week but for a beautiful life ahead. 

"Step 1:Raise your arm and examine the breast and underarm region."
