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

Hey Ocean, Here I come

If you could plan your death, how would you plan it? #PlanUrDeath  This is a very interesting thought. The thought itself is enough to chill our bones. Death is something which is beyond our control. It is the unconquered kingdom. It is something which we cannot predict nor decide. It happens in its own phase, in its own time and in its own style. Still given as a chance. It would be the most exciting and interesting event to plan.  My death will be combination of the things I love. I would try to make it as interesting as possible.  Goodbyes are very important to me. It gives a proper ending to our life. The problem with death is we never have time for good bye. The person suddenly disappears leaving a vacuum behind. This leaves the loved ones feeling lost. I will write a proper goodbye to all the important friends and enemies. Sometimes the people who make us cry are the people who has created a great impact on them. I would try to forgive the people who have hurt...

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. ...

30 minutes

The train came to a halt with a jerk. I gripped the support railing for balance. So did the people around me. Something felt different. The people and the surrounding was new and strange. I felt as though I was transported magically to an alien land. The people around me was busy in their own world. Some in their thoughts and some in their phones. At every stop a war brewed between passengers fighting over to get down and trying to board the train. I calmly stood there trying to understand the surroundings. Yet I could sense a Storm inside me. Like a programmed robot, I got down in a station. I stood there watching the train continue its journey. It was then I realised. Where the hell am I and who am I. I had no memory of both the things or anything for that matter. I sat in the nearest stone bench and tried to absorb the activity around me. I glanced at the phone and it read 9.00 pm. I tried to make a call and could not remember the pattern. The activity around me slowly became thinn...
