Reseña del libro "NOT THIS WEDNESDAY (en Inglés)"
NOT THIS WEDNESDAY A Short Story About Family, Boundaries & Finding Yourself By Dinesh Kumar What happens when a woman who has spent her entire life caring for everyone else finally decides to make time for herself? At sixty-one, Meera Sharma has become the person her family can always count on. She remembers appointments, prepares favourite meals, solves everyday problems, and puts the needs of the people she loves before her own. After losing her beloved husband, Suresh, her family has become her greatest comfort—and, without anyone quite realising it, her entire world. But somewhere between being a devoted mother, a loving grandmother, and the dependable sister everyone calls, Meera has forgotten something important. She has forgotten herself. Then comes a Wednesday morning when Meera makes a small but life-changing decision. Instead of cancelling her plans to accommodate yet another family request, she goes to her first painting class. It is a simple act. Yet it opens the door to something she has not felt in years: the freedom to discover what she wants. As Meera begins to reclaim the dreams she once set aside, she encounters the quiet discomfort of changing family expectations, the complicated emotions of love and loss, and the courage it takes to say no without feeling guilty. A journey to the sea, memories of her childhood home, unfinished paintings, and unexpected moments of connection gradually help her understand that choosing herself does not mean abandoning the people she loves. It means learning to love them without losing herself. Tender, thoughtful, and gently uplifting, NOT THIS WEDNESDAY is a heartfelt story about the invisible responsibilities families place on those who are always available, the importance of healthy boundaries, and the beautiful possibility of beginning again at any age. This is a story for anyone who has ever put their own dreams on hold, struggled to say no to the people they love, or wondered whether there is still time to build a life that feels truly their own. Because sometimes, the most courageous words are not a grand declaration or a dramatic goodbye. Sometimes, they are simply: Not this Wednesday. And sometimes, that is where a new life begins. A gentle reminder that you can love your family deeply, honour your past, and still make room for yourself.
