My blessing


Every year mother's day was just another day to give her a gift. To be honest, I have not given much thought to it. I did not understand the importance of this day. Mother is anyways special, with or without this day. We were celebrating mother's day in our office this year. Various competitions and quizzes were conducted. I was asked to talk about the inspiration I got from Mom. Within five minutes of thinking, millions of thoughts and memories popped into my mind. It was surprising that she occupied a major part of my life, either directly or through her words. She knew my reactions even before I could feel it. Sometime I feel that she gets her own copy of my daily life from a heavenly source. She detected even the smallest frown and the slightest change in my voice. I am a completely different person. Still I feel so similar to her. My mom has inspired me in many ways. The list is too long.  I have learned a lot of lessons from her. She is my first teacher. She is my first mentor. She is my role model. She is my well wisher.  


Multi Tasking
This is one of the biggest lessons I have learned from her. Only a mom can manage the crying baby, angry adolescent, busy father and ailing parents and yet give delicious meal on the table and maintain the cleanliness of the house. I never understood where she gets the energy or manages the time to do everything with equal emphasis to all the things. 

Attentiveness
We keep running along with others that we lose the sense of surrounding around us at most times. We forgot the reason why we started running in the first place. We become immune and blind to the things around us. Mom keeps an eye on everything in her world. Nothing whatever it is never misses her sight. She is attentive to all and is responsive at the right time. This has helped me a great deal in my professional as well as my personal life.

Courage
This has become the basic criteria of a girl’s life today. Without courage, we might get lost in this big world. Courage helps us stand up for ourselves and face the demons in us and also in the world. Sometimes the demons within us are the toughest to handle. She gave me the courage to walk on day one and still continues to do so. However tough or difficult the path is, her courage drives me

This is only a drop in the ocean of knowledge she has given me. She drives me everyday and every minute. I look up to her for making all decisions. My dress, My hair colour, My wardrobe or be it anything. She guides me for my career and personal life. She is my blessing from God

Rock to Sculpture

Every person we meet creates an impact on us. The way the impact works is quite surprising. Sometimes the impact created by a stranger is more than the impact by a close friend. I always consider life as a block of coal or a big piece of rock. The journey from Coal to diamond or Rock to sculpture takes a lot of time and can also be painful. It does not happen with a single person or with a single incidence. The conversation process is continuous and can happen till our last breath. We get better and better with age and experience. I have never managed to understand when a person reaches his best. Maybe the level is unattainable. Still changes, both ups and downs happen throughout our lives. I remember an innocent hyper girl who wore sensitivity on her sleeve. The smallest spark was enough to set her on fire. She was on the extreme of emotions. The emotions can range from Happiness, sorrow, loneliness and anger. Still the emotions controlled her and stole her sleep many nights. ...

Digital India - A shortcut to Safer India

Digital India – A vision by the government, An expectation by the youth, A mystery for the public What does digital India mean? This question which pops into everyone’s mind and heart when they hear the term. It may also seem as an unattainable fruit to some. This is true to some extent. But this will definitely create a great change in the life of every individual. More than anything, I see this as stepping stone towards a safer nation. Safe nation is slowly becoming a distant dream. Some blame the women. Some blame the men. But maybe both and to some extent the nation as a whole is also responsible. Men harass women because they think they are helpless and vulnerable. Women allow this because they think men are stronger. Indians are not heartless enough to allow a crime happen right in front of their nose. Sometimes they become worried about the consequences of helping others. Thanks to the laws and corruption. I have always wondered what would be the hope and thought of a ...

Foot Prints on Time

Is age just a number? I wonder within myself Or it could have been aloud I can no longer tell My ears are sharp, but my mind is preoccupied I try recalling the past But it seems like a distant memory Everything is a blur of multiple emotions I wish I could see through them At least relive a few; forget many But life does not work that way I feel weary in my bones I wish I could rest But the journey is still not over I hope it is not long as before Almost half is what I can do My knees tremble as I gaze behind My eyesight dims as the distance increases I have come a long way Through different phases and even eras I look at the age Is it just a number? Did I ask myself this before? Is my work done? Can I do anything else? The questions keep adding. Was it memorable? It was interesting Was I happy? I forgot to tick the box. Am I mature? Only time will tell The age might not be just a number anymore It is a reminder to let go It is a reminder to cherish the small things It is a reminder to...
