An Early Riser's Saga

A cold dry porch and a silent early morning,

with those birds chirping and the tea leaves boiling,

Every crisp leaflet of that newly printed newspaper,

Giving away the sniff of the world and news to savor,

Those slight pink hues in the sky,

reminding you  that a new day is on a standby,

on the other side is the coffee giving you another chance,

Keeping the mind tight with it's fragrance,

The sun soaked floor bringing in the serenity,

and the glittering rays just pushing you to chase your dream with clarity,

Taking a step forward and embracing today as it stands,

while weaving the plans for tomorrow to make it grand!

Revise, retell, iterate yourself and believe,

Every day is beautiful , everyday just proves how beautiful life can be!

A chance of a lifetime!

The audacity of the current world situation is  genuinely alarming and haunts us with loads of information from all sides. So keeping all of them in mind and going through these tedious times, let us take an opportunity to be the best version of ourselves exhibiting humility and kindness towards each other.

No other time than now on earth we would need the humility and generosity as much! It is like the whole nature is been asking you to be someone you always used to think u should be, but never got a chance to be, in your busy  life . So this is your chance to redeem,where the whole universe is conspiring to make us a better human being.

With a full stop to our busy lives we have got a world of exploration in front of us where we could explore our hobbies , our strengths,our family time. Beginning with inculcating good habits  in the young ones, to sitting together for deeper conversations with the older generation. It is an absolutely fantastic time to just reset everything we used to do and redo them in a finer way.

Ok! I know you must be thinking it is easier said than done but the options with us are really limited and this tops the list of the things we must do. I still wonder how our lives has shrunk to a smaller caliber that too on various deeper levels. The unlikeliness of the situation has been daunting us, pushing us to deviate from all our plans of earlier life, doesn't it feels like an earlier life?

A life where so many things were taken for granted, roaming around freely, hanging out with friends even going to a grocery store which is now obstructed .We are not left with anything but ourselves and hence its a best opportunity to change, not only the way we live but the  whole thought process. These times already have showed us that how temporary our world is and however much we think that we are stable and prosperous , we are always on the brink of extinction. The paradox of having been planned for next 10 years straight and fixing goals of far future feels so foolish all of a sudden when we couldn't see all this coming!

Conclusively I firmly believe that humility, kindness, gentleness and compassion goes a long way, and it shall remain till the end with us. Spurts of helps and looking out for each other is something we all should start doing, with rigorous times coming ahead. Do your bit by calling an old friend and catching up from where you left, posting positive stuff online, developing interests and hobbies, checking up on your neighbours , participating and promoting creativity even while on video calls with family,  involve in deeper conversations with your parents and offsprings, it is a golden time to bond with humanity and lets do bit by bit by eliminating the unfavourable elements and spread positivity in these fragile times.

Nothing like before

Unanticipatedly the whole  formula of  living changed swiftly! Things which were important are somehow negligible and the things which were not given much importance are now a luxury.Imagine how much we took people, things and surroundings for granted, until all this happened we were still grasped in the cliched petty issues whether about relationship,work or certain friendship. 

Now all the jealousy, competition,branded shopping, travel flaunt is put to a full stop, just to save ourselves! So basically we were living a materialistic life until the outbreak and one fine day the switch got reversed  confining us to our home to save lives! This proves that afterall we started running this race for supporting our daily life only and somehow  got jumbled up with all the flashes and frills while running and forgot the basic goal of why we were running so fast? To introspect then and now everything looks so tiny and meaningless.

 The selfies with friends have become a a mere screenshots of numerous video calls, the instagram has become more of a stage to showcase your hobbies instead of being a market place. Virtual travel trips are a new thing, schools and students are struggling with online classes. Netflix has become a trend and a way to kill the boredom. Restaurants are a far fetched thing and cooking at home and putting up the videos are the "in" things.  News channels have no other topic than the current situation, and curfew is the new way of our daily routines. Quarantine and lockdown are the most used words on the internet. Hugs and kisses are being missed , coffee shops are now treasured the most after toilet paper (lol) malls and movie theatres are not even in the list of "places to be" and everything is zeroed down to existence and storage of daily necessities ( how ironic!)

Still missing the larger picture of what perilous situation we are dealing with; Everyone is trying hard, really hard to be as they were before but it will take time to settle with everyone that world is never going to be the same..and gradually we will learn to live in a new found way with sources available on our disposals.

Oh Womania!

And whenever I look around I find women struggling. We (women) are some how taught to be patient and bearing...we are taught to adjust fiercely till the last drop of our courage and brevity..we are everything but ourselves...
Women are always pushed to do things mostly they don't like or encourage but still on the cost of self depletion they carry on the burdened task. Why the nature is like that where a  woman has to suffer more than men...what society is this if we have rules where women is only one responsible for household even if she works?what kind of parenting are we doing when we tell her that you have to adjust?when we talk about equality why dont we start with equality in gender realted works.
My heart goes out to women who live a life they are not even aware of what they are missing or what else they could be..Then there are women who know all that is wrong but just says yes to things to be acceptable in the society , after knowing also they themselves don't want to leave that trap..We only want to be like that "caged" for years and years and blame it on our fate or otherwise...
Why dnt we let ourselves freed and look beyond the household and the chores, why dont we rise above this discrimition and be someone who is equally contributing to the  relationship. Why can't we offer the next generation freedom of thought and action? Not teaching them the role that's  defined from ages but to teach them to be themselves by accepting who they really are, that whatever way they choose will be the best and whatever will happen, there still will be a way! Lets be the change we want to see..

  

Wipe off the Temerity

Its disheartening to see when today's world treats simplicity with mediocrity and showoff with grandeur. It disappointing to locate people around you so indulged in their own selves that the humility and kindness are fading away...
That every kind gesture is taken for granted and that each word of yours makes you vulnerable enough to be commented upon Its really sad that the world enjoys negativity  in such a fruitful way,that every luxury is just treated as a mere average.
It make my heart twich to feel where are we heading and what do we achieve in turning the people down everytime inspite of their best efforts.i wish we become a change and stand out in this world, where we recognize everyone for their efforts instead of measuring their importance to us.

Its a sinking feeling but we shall arise eventually where we will give respect to relations..things..friendships..where loyalties will find its set places, where not everything or everyone readily available will be just overlooked  . Everyone is unique  with their own value system and has something different to offer to our set of skills. Start here. Start now. Be the change, value the universe! Work hard, Stay Humble.

Overboard with emotions!

My amplifying emotions has been always a problem with me..in all my relationships on this planet i always have given more than the other person could give...Had it ever happen to you where you have been standing only on the sending end?
How much can you give and if you don't recieve the same frequency how much can you emit ?

In similar situations the frequency dies a slow death because you are constantly trying to match two things a) expectation of that relationship in your head and b) the frequency of the other person and whilst the process your own frequency changes.

I always indulge more emotionally like a fool waiting to be made fun of ! After suffering also it didn't change my intensity...it hurts when you are totally in it and the other person just takes you lightly...i think because you become too much available , too much available to talk , to text as you keep the person on priority and not because you are free and unoccupied.The other person doesn't realise it and takes you for granted...and i hate this part!

Why doesnt you recieve as much as you give? When i can invest my lengths n breadths of emotions in a relationship , why not recieve the same passion. I know people are different an blah blah . But the simple rule of life says - what you give is what you get !  What is the use of Karma if it gives it back to you in form of other people , and not in that particular relation?I feel a relationship is  futile if it is not intense!

So the theories of may be you weren't meant to be together or it was not suppose to last also doesnt solves my curiosity! If you can recieve why can't you give back ? Either stop being on the recieving end at all or just respond! People all their lives can't decide what are they looking for , when they can't identify they even loose what they already have.

Life doesn't gives second chances... always value what you get whether it is small or big but the other person is investing emotionally,you might not fall for it initially but eventually you will realise that this is what you have been seeking. So if you ever get lucky recieving the mountains of emotions and love , don't fear to climb it ...every step of it will be worth your time.

Are we really irreplacable?

So many times we come across this statement in our varied relationships--"No one can take your place" or "you are irreplaceable "but how much do you think it stand true...are we really irreplaceable? People come and people go and their fond memories is what captivates us and make them stand out. All our lives we just keep knitting memories some good and some bad; we are known for some and almost forgotten for the other few. While building up all these memories we somehow setup a notion that we no longer can experience similar or better memories with any other person. Our brain stores them as the best of all thus we say that no one can take place of a particular person in our lives.
It seems so foolish to believe so. It takes away the chances of meeting someone new and completely ruins the chances of getting much closer too! I believe that our heart is too fragile and gullible to carry in line with the brain, maybe that's the reason why there are people who experience falling in love more than 1 time because heart carries on the seeking, of a likehearted soul.
The heartbreaks have changed thanks to facebook for cheering up and helping recovering faster,the falling in love has changed thanks to instagram to display it better , being together has become acceptable thanks to the tweeting trolls.Everything and everyone has lost its value and still the technology is helping us to survive.In midst of this if anyone says that "no one can take your place " i completely fail to rely.
The loyalties today are shaken up and the meaning of the words in today's life are lost and there is no way to get those back, and ofcourse each one of us are replacable in thus volatile world! I hope i differ to agree later on this but thats the hard fact to accept.

Wanted ----- "Compassion"

Sometimes while crossing a particular street or even our neighborhood beach I cease to understand the kind of inequality our world faces, why there are no equal parameters to live in this world. The rich become more rich and the poor more poorer. They say to stabalise the economy we want both kind of sections in the society but what kind of stabalisation are we talking about when the treatment towards humanity is totally unfair. Last weekend I happen to visit a beach nearby which happens to be beautiful otherwise was fully covered with the layer of filth including plastics...wrappers...bottles and what not. After looking at the whole place I was wondering what will be the plight of the cleaners will be who clean the whole beach everyday, being a rich country they can afford to have lot of Asian crowd to work for them in a very reasonable prices; still its so unfair to them what kind of social behavior is that where one person attains a position of such a strata that he doesn't thinks twice before messing the place up and not only that what happened to our so called environment friendly approach? What about all the remarks and comments people debate for on global warming! It really melts down my heart to see that there are people who don't even get one meal per day and then there are people who just waste the whole feast away, although there are lot of programs which are now channelizing the food being wasted to the needy. But do you thing that only a chunk of people can achieve the task? When the humankind started everything revolved around food from hunting to inventing fire, then later it was said that all the wealth is finally needed to for eating a times meal, but as a human being we evolved and evolved and then we reached another level where food is still the bare minimum but the focus has shifted from how to earn the meal ; to how to strike a deal. I wish we became more considerate and compassionate to our fellowkind,hold a little more responsibility towards environment and instead of making a big deal out of pity things in our surroundings lets take a bit more charge of how can we contribute more in making others life better keeping this planet in consideration and atleast not for granted!

Stop the Frantic Overdoing

Do you overdo things?

Stop...its 'the'word I want to learn. Not a single days go by when I don't push my limit and when I m not overdoing things. I want to stop and that to soon the things are going out of my hands and this overdoing is driving me crazy (crazier than I thought)
Having a partial OCD specially of cleanliness and arrangement of things with my 2 kids is like the cherry on the top so to say stop to myself in certain situations is dreadful therefore the overdoing follows! Phew!

So after summing up the conclusions of all my experiences of out and out overdoings I have made my list of stops (hope some of them helps you too)
1. Stop saying yes when you really don't want to- follow your mood and instinct
2. Stop agreeing to a particular thing if it is not on your priority list-You don't have to agree to everything and anything.
3. Stop pushing your limits and testing your body's endurance- relax
4.  Stop reviewing your decisions-They are perfect according to the time and situation you take them in
5. Stop thinking about the past and worrying about the future.
6. Stop pleasing the one who is not even close to important in your life-suit your convenience , everyone does that only
7. Stop over cleaning-just leave it noone is coming to assess and award you for the spic n span home.
8. Stop over friendliness- oh boy it just gives pain to your ownself because for the other person you just exist as an aquantaince.
9. Stop being your best-it just ruins the moment all the more! Be carefree and cool.
10. Stop entertaining nonsense- in any form whether talks, parties or pokes , you can't please everyone.
11. Stop being a perfectionist , however much you try you can't be (specially me with 2 kids)
12. Stop judging your self from the eyes of others - they themselves are doing the same for themselves.
13. Stop being guilty - whether about a day which din't go as planned, the mood swings, not being a good parent, not been able to concentrate or the feeling of being lost, not being able to workout...its just a phase and it happens with everyone.

Sometimes the art of saying no works but you have to master it to practice it . I am an amateur at this art, hence overdoing comes along, This overdoing hinders the personal growth, nature, relationships and unfortunately memories too.Having said that I really will try to inculcate  the above  to relax myself and make the most of my life making memories and having real fun😊.

The Unexpected Chakra

Have you ever found your desired things in unexpected places ? 

Have you ever came across something you were looking for, for a long time at times when you left the hope of even having it?

Have you strongly commited to someone when you thought you are not ready at all?

Have you really got connected with someone you thought was unapproachable? 

Have you found someone totally opposite to what you perceived them to be?

Have you recieved right things at wrong places?

I call these tiny miracles they happen to us everyday and specially at unexpected times to cheer us up and to keep up our hopes intact...making our days more worthy. Any time such a thing happens with me I become more positive towards my life , and it also signifies that life is good inspite of all that stress around.
The good part is that we don't have to wait for them they just flow through the day with various events  sometimes in daily chores when you put some spice by mistake but it gives you a different tasty flavour you never expected to taste..other times when by chance you find a long lost friend in another friend's list...or at times when you are really feeling lonely wanting someone by your side and a friend stops by to say hello!
Althought we hear this everyday but these tiny bits of miracles strongly indicates that expectations when kept low can do the trick to keep away from all the misery.  Next time you experience any of these take it as a stepping stone stop looking for things and start keeping your expectations low...then the real miracle will happen to you ....THE UNEXPECTED! which will change your way of looking at life and suddenly everything will give you joy and happiness.

Do you standup for yourself?

We as human beings have been so closely knit with the society and people around that sometimes we forget our own identity ..likes...desires..freedom.
.opnions...choices...even the daily frame of things!

Being emotional and not that strong headed I fear everyday of being diminished, I fear to loose out my voice behind the opinions, I fear to be numb and mentally blocked where my mind is driven my other people's decision. I have to constantly remind myself to stand by my beliefs and choices.

We are always taught to live an ideal life and not what we wish to live, and this notion is imbibed so well in us that as a parent I expect the same from my kid, n off late I realised that I am scraping off my son's own personality but expecting idealism from him. I am now trying to let him be what he is ofcourse the mistakes and tantrums are unacceptable but I want him to take his own shape..

Influences are everywhere  whether with friends, relatives or neighbours ; but influences should be welcomed according to you is most appropriate in your nature of things! The rights and wrongs of anything  are still undefined and much debated about. So listen to your heart and go with the flow!

I have experienced this that everyone suits to their own convenience stand by yourself and suit your requirements , this is how it goes in life,  because everyone is experiencing their own situations which are individualistic and too different.

Next time you feel shy, judgemental or opinionated please feel free to put your feet down and stand for yourself , you have seperate boundaries...liberties and likes , even if people around you don't agree to your taste give a damn and stand for yourself  even if you are standing alone ..cheers!

Disheartening disparities

With this clean India movement taking the full throttle, I wish the same way it could clean the minds of the people and wipe away all the disparities away with it. A Nation full of disparities either in terms of wealth, education, standard of living its highly required to be be taken up as a challenge.
Poorer are getting poorer and richer are getting more richer! The disparity is really disheartening,  how will this disparity dissolve ? Let me make it very clear that  I am not talking about the beggers here...they have enough money for their daily lives (thanks to their begging) but the small vendors like the balloon seller....popcorn seller...roadside sellers who just sell small things for petty cash to earn their one time meal for the day is what upsets me.
Ultimately their aim of life is to have enough money for two time meal( its that difficult) and some will say here...that is that it all they have to think of is earning two meals a day! After reading this line again and again I realise that how much we crib in our already privileged lives, and the goals, the benchmarks and the portion of wealth ofcourse..but I still wonder about their thought process, their way of living ..it must be hard.
After having almost everything we desire we are so  much  wanting...but with no peace at heart and definitely no achievement also because our goals are undulating as we enter different phases in life. Yet I believe their life will be much at peace than ours , its a constant fearless life they live with nothing to loose, and anything which comes their way is heartly welcomed.
The way we talk about growing a plant every year on our birthdays to make the planet more greener, each one of us should start charity for any of the needy we see ..who try very hard to earn their livelihoods,  if not money the help with the education to their children or adopt a months ration for them.
Recently I encountered that a man donated his fridge and put it outside his house on the street ..to put all the not required extra food which we anyways throw and waste..for the needy ( I know a lot of us will second this as the other people who might not be that needy can take it and the help will not reach the real needy..but atleast its a start..start to something good and fruitful..imagine if every house starts doing it imagine how much food can be made available. .
Think with this angle also at times, it gives immense pleasure to make someone happy even happier than the promotion or raise you are expecting this year! Charity can wave off disparities to some extent, if any thing is required ...that is definitely the effort of making up to someone who needs it the most.

Virtual Vanity

Do you remember , when was the last time we were human beings far away from our virtual projection(projection indeed). Virtual being is preferred for a number of reasons in my opinion:
Firstly, because we like living in the projection, somewhere,it is that ideal which we seek in ourselves day in and out.

Secondly, because it takes you far away from the daily tribulations into a world of our imagination and dreams.

Thirdly and importantly because of the ease of use (thanks to the Smartphone technology). Your friends and loved ones are with you invariably 24*7.

Have you ever kept a track of how many places you log in with your account, what events your account shares, what sites are using your email id e.t.c. We are so virtually exposed and engaged that we hardly realize to talk to people around, instead slot in with what’s app and FB. Recently Fb had come with “your life story” and people who are no-where near your zone are suddenly interested in that so called look Back.
I am sure that most of us have people in our friends list with whom we didn’t even speak once when they were around!  Gradually and  this virtual presence is now becoming so important and a must have for everyone. Instagram, twitter, pintrest, vingle are like social icons for the youngsters. Not even them even these but the celebrities, politicians, entreprenuers, and sportsperson too have made these a medium to connect with the mango people
Facebook is like a bulletin board, instagram a photo album, twitter an announcement platform ,pintrest like a craft manifestation, youtube like a tv channel. And now you read the above lines again without the apps name, you would be forced to think that until few years back those were the activities which served as ways to spend time with family and friends.
All this aside even the Indian passport department has proposed to release e-passports for the citizens of india from the next year..life is becoming so digitalised and far away from the real relationships.
Being in touch is always the good part of these social mediums but if that being in touch with far away people distants you with people around you, then technology has byfar taken the notch above relationships,  where eye to smartphone contact is much preferable than eye to eye contact. Balance the technology tactfully, rejoice both virtual and  actual presence of self, so that you don't regret the time lost in future.

Karma- the ultimate reaper

They say Karma is a bitch ! It is the ultimate reaper of your worldly affairs, the balance sheet of your life with suspense account too!
The very popular phrase stand true in our lifetimes “what you sow is what you reap." I firmly believe that whatever u do here u r paid off here only in this life and there is nothing called heaven or hell..The concept of heaven and hell was created to control the mankind..so that the evil is stopped with the fear of final consequence...
We don't realize this often that we take things for granted, mistreat people in our life span not thinking that anything which goes around..comes around! We fear hell but not the relationship consequence, its so hard to see that people ditch karma for a handful of money or an ounce of ego.
Its frightening to stay testimony of so much on that happens on the name of Dharma and Karma..i feel an act of give away, or an act to make feel someone special does not exists anymore! With all that i m not stating that all people are bad, but a few spoils the whole lot!
Disheartment fills up my soul, when i see around me the physical agony of being handicapped...a bunch of little things brighten up there faces...and we with all that is there just crib for the mere belongings..
Karma is what you possess in mind,heart an soul! Its your lookout towards your contribution to people around, something which makes you think before you do a deed; its nothing but your conscience shouting loud ...listen to it often , it will resolve much of your sufferings..and don't forget its a small life to cherish, love, laugh, be good and eat well! So now on your karma should be the one ur conscience wants to be ..and in the end ; it does nt really matters ... u will be just remembered for your sweet little Karma:)

Where do we stop??

A scene
A person from a small village---"There is no scope in this village for my future i wanna go to the city to work"
Same person in the city----"There is not enough salary to work in the city i wanna go to a metro city"
In Mumbai----“phew! There is so much traffic ...pollution...fast paced life...how do i survive...its better to work in Dubai"
In dubai--- “Things aren't like India...nothing like back home...my village was the best place"

OMG where do we stop??? Did u get the whole idea of writing this story above...these kind of stories i often hear off..with people who just want to run away from the present situation and the place is a mere reason to back it...
Ask yourself where do we stop??? Lets skip the places...we do the same pattern with all the kind of choices we make in life!!!The core problem what it seems to me is the generation....we want all the things faster ..smarter...better...we can't wait...its a haste generation what they call..
Have u heard of any of our parents or older people talking about their nonstop future desires...probably they also talked about it in younger ages...but we are way ahead...life before was peaceful n less competitive...having a property..funds...car was rare luxury....
Now these things are everyday luxury ..with the technological , well marketed and over customized world has brought everything on a click...
Our generation doesn't value...coz we never had to do any efforts to get these...they were never beyond our limits and always were over in abundance...we should sit back n admire our possessions once coz only acquiring doesn't finishes the conquest....
There is no definition of enough.....how much is enough??? I want to save enough.....i want to put aside for my child enough....the point here is for whomsoever u r earning this enough for...is growing up(child) ...growing old ( u n ur spouse)....time is flying..
Take time off...set limits to your goals...set up a benchmark of ur satisfaction....and work towards it...running with blinkers to win a race will never take you where you want to go...and even if you win the race...the people you were running for would be  left way behind... Think!

Unleash the travel

We are all travelling...in this world in form of life...coming across the ups and downs....
In this travel we meet strangers who becomes companion...
And the co-travelers becomes friends...
The way we go travelling for a holiday unleashing every moment of the trip..the same should be done for this life travel...
The smaller villages crossed are ur milestones to ur ultimate destination
The way we pick the good things from the village n ignore the rest n unimportant ones...the same should be done on every stage in life...
There are times the ride becomes bumpy n ur vehicles gets broke...but u never loose hope n replace it with a stephanie....that stephanie is an attitude required to cover up obstacles...
Whether the weather or the direction to reach the destination confides with you or not the determination should be un shaken...likewise in life with a situation and decision one should stick to the determination of achieving it...
Remember love is the only fuel to make ur travel smooth...unleash every bit of your fuel to mark your presence in the journey...
Experience is the final key to enrichment and prosper...don't ever take this key lightly.....it can open any kind of luggage of your travel!
'Travel' word here implies living...living to the fullest....live...love..laugh..plan...unravel...determine...experience it..take a break...learn from mistakes n move on to a better milestone....
So people who have not started  travelling ! Start it...and the globetrotters! Mind it....

Infuse Appreciation

How often we say thanks for being there to someone we love...
How often do we appreciate the efforts and love...
How often do we realize the importance of saying i love u....
We r so into ourselves that we hardly realise!
Gone are the days when there was no technology..atleast there was time for  emotions and value of ppl around....
I strongly feel that a few words can also prove mightier to hold relationships, and if in praise nothing like it..
Try n inculcate, infuse appreciation whether for ur family, friends or for a random stranger ....believe me u will feel good...i  trying this for sure...

Be cognizant of contentment

Years ago when i was in school...we had a special school and hostel for deaf and dumb adjacent to my school...
As kids we were afraid of the noises they made when we played in the playground ....from the adjacent buildings ...as those special kids had only the way out to communicate was to make loud noises..
We used to ignore the noise and used to eat our favourite food filled tiffins...enjoying our annual function..sports...mere fights and making best of frenship ( oh u know how that age is)
We never paid attention rather ignore those special kids...today after so many years when i went to that special school for a little charity... i realized the contentment of those kids....
Even after their vital senses were absent they were so helpful..understanding...n satisfied with smiling faces...
To my surprise the adversity of the situation doesnt affect their level of  contentment!
Today i felt how fake we are....we have all shiny things but nt that smile of fulfillment...
Of all the things we have we go n fight for petty things..we never consider and recognize the value of things we hold..
Whatever was given to them they ate fully with no..nos n no left overs...n were so happy that we brought something for them...
They had no signs of  jealousy...no temptation...no negativity...just those brilliant faces with  warm smiles
Today i realized the importance of being alright and pay gratitude to God to give me an opportunity to live the life i want..full of gadgets...vehicles...n abundance...
Today i realized how blessed they are...they are away from worlds misery...
Today i felt so miserable that i cant carry the way they carry their smile..I m just so mesmerized with the way they deal their loss and the way we deal out nuisance little problems.
Their eyes were so clear n intentions were so pure...we should really learn from them..
Hats off to all the kids...very well behaved n i enjoyed giving them food...watching them talking in their sign language which had deeper impact than our audible ones..hope we be cognizant of the contentment which we have in our lives...

Detaching Descendants...

However much we curse the laws of parenting...its the nature who has laid the rules...
Whether plants...animals or humans the nature has defined its way to a cycle from birth to detachment n finally death...
Whether the loaded trees bearing fruits...
Or a bird waiting for its chicks to fly....
Or an animal teaching its offspring to hunt..
Detachment is the way of life..which cannot be overseen...eventually everyone has to go thru this phase of life..
We in our culture still cant deal well with this process...
As the kids grow u are so well kneaded in them that u feel empty at this juncture...
Detachment is the hardest part of any life form....its hard to give away...to let go..
I have a long way to go for this detachment but i cn still feel the pain associated with it...but we cant deny the very laws of nature...as detachment is essential for progress and survival...

Hearts erased Feelings diminished

The current scenario forces me to think on the humanity vanished....
With thousands of ppl stuck in the recent tragedy of uttrakand....and the stories related
Never did the ppl going to a pilgrimage would have thought of such a disaster...
They say that God tests u on ur way to his place....that's why all the holy places are difficult to approach...
But after this tragedy i really think that its not the test he takes....its something we humans make....
He is everywhere ....we make it difficult n name it a pilgrimage...
I knw most of the religious ppl will defy my thought...but think about it..the laws of nature has to be balanced...river beds should be left alone..mountains should not be dug...
Of all the rescue operation this is amongst the top ones...with putting themselves in danger army  rescuing hundreds of ppl 24*7....
Its disappointing and disheartining that instead of helping as much as we can we r making it a political....n engineering issue....
People are robbing...stealing making lives worst of the people already stuck...
Have we really lost it....really we dnt have feelings...n humanity...its a shame on us ......
What will happen with that lil money...no one can make castles with that...its really painful to see the hearts n mind of the people...
Media is trying to make it officially political...leaders trying to cover it up with their crowded vip visits....
There are groups which has come up...to help but what can these few hundreds can do...
Why cant we make it simple and approaching without flabbergasting the whole issue...
At the end we can just help and leave the rest to nature...if death calls..it will call u even from ur air conditioned luxurious rooms...
A helicopter crashed....around a dozen or two killed while rescue.... that is sheer destiny....ppl meant to die will die..come what may...
I have so many examples of hearts erased...while stepping up in bus with my kiddo in one hand n luggage in another...but ppl will never offer a seat....never give way....specially in our country women n women with infants still fail to be catered.....
I cnt do anything but pity on such ppl....m surprised  whetherr they born with it or catch up with society around us....
The food packets did not reach the target ppl...the help cudnt reach the most effected..
Some news channel said that even the rescuers are falling prey to the tragedy n loosing their lives...God should not do that with somebody who save lives....in that case what wrong these pilgrims  have done...they were going for God's blessing only..
I wish this tragedy should have been taken up with more responsibility setting up the standards for any similar tragedies around the world...and raised a level up to compensate the humanity degraded!!!!
