Short anecdote

-

I called up my friend to offer condolences over the weekend. My friend had lost his father few days ago. During our conversation my friend remarked, " Hey! I have read your book MOMSIE POPSIE DIARY Tea time chit-chat on living life. While reading I felt, you suddenly jumped from one topic to another." 

I casually remarked, " This is what exactly happens in life too. One cannot predict or control what happens next in life, it is meant to be shared. It's a diary , not a novel, read like a diary."

I could hear my friend's smile when he replied ," Oh yes, it's a diary. You write from your heart. Yours is the last book which my father read by himself. The best part is you can leave it anywhere and start from anywhere. Continue your passion for writing and keep  sharing."

I adorned my thinking cap. I had called him to offer my condolences. Our conversation concluded with inspiring each other. This reinforced my famous quote, 

" Helping others heal, is a path of self healing."

Love,

Mam ji! Are we dirty ?

Visit to slums is inspiring. The smile on little children’s faces and their eagerness to see new books is unmatched. My JRC Mobile library runs every week and caters to 3 evening schools and around 50 children. These children are getting used to the idea of issuing fancy, glossy books (primary education) and returning too. They wait eagerly for every Thursday evening for JRC mobile library. Today, I decided to go early with a friend on my two-wheeler. As I steered my two wheeler on a rough patch towards slums, we could see many small children running towards us smiling, cheering and shouting.” Good afternoon mam ji! Namaste mam ji”. There is one particular boy who always greets me with the brightest smiles and expresses his eagerness to study in the evening school. Every time, he tells the same story, his parents didn’t agree. Afterall begging is easier, hard work is less and earning more. Today he came and said, "Mam ji, I have got my Aadhar card and have enrolled in your e

An Open Letter #Part 2

An Open Letter #Part 2 To, Children of the Universe, I can only try and understand what you are going through. I will not go into your life. Rather I want to give you a glimpse about my life at your age and maybe few years here and there. Have you ever felt – “I am alone, I have no friends, I feel weird, I am always left out while other groups join in for fun, I feel like an outcast, My friends talk to me only when they need me, I am always available for my friends and not vice versa, My friends don’t reply to my text messages or see the messages and just ignore and the worst feeling is –I wish I was dead. If the answer is yes, please proceed further.  I was youngest of all siblings. My facial features were unlike others in my family, broad nose, chinky eyes and fair complexion. At times, I felt alien in my own family. My elder sisters were brilliant in studies and toppers of their class and sections. I was a jovial, naughty soul who studied what was required to pass with dig

What men want?

What men want? (When they rebuke, ”Leave it, you can’t do it!”) Disclaimer: Such kind of blogs are generally penned to help few anonymous souls, who are seeking help in empowering themselves and to gain a better understanding of their roles. Any resemblance to anyone’s life is purely co-incidental . This phrase is very commonly used in our male dominated society. Males (not all) get a sadist satisfaction whenever they utter these words to the fairer sex. I leave it for the reader to read this phrase with appropriate pause and stress. The tone may be low, but their body language gives away the real feelings. I often discuss with my Popsie the difference between ego and self respect. As per my understanding, in self respect, one tends to protect one’s own dignity and never puts down the other person. Whereas in ego, all effort is done to humiliate, put down the other person. the work is done on the other person - the basic difference. Reader’s discretion is fully respected.  In lon
