“Words can heal in ways medicine sometimes cannot. I write not just to tell stories, but to help people feel seen, heard, and hopeful.”
— Reemanshu Bansal (Juju’s Pearls)
Re-cap 22 years in 60 seconds!
(This is a eulogy to my dear Dr. Theresa Bhatty aunt)
“Dust we are: into dust shall we”, I am reminded of these wisdom pearls as I sit beside my dear aunt who looks beautiful, white as snow. This motionless, quiet figure looked divine, as if almighty had descended on Mother Earth. No longer will these eyes open nor will her lips move. With a heavy heart, as I internally bid goodbye to her, my second innings –post marriage life flashes in front me in a phenomenal fast forward supersonic speed.
After marriage, I changed base from a metro city to a small city. Life seemed to have taken a back step by around twenty years- this was the down side. On the brighter side, I came across many amazing, compassionate, genuine souls who helped me move forward in my journey in a happy, comfortable way.
One such noble soul is our very close family friend, who left for her higher journey a week ago. She adorned many roles in my life. Initially, she was an aunt, then my gynecologist, my professional colleague, later my friend and my second mother.
She had a knack to communicate. She made every person very comfortable and relaxed. She knew how to talk to people of different gender and age groups. She was an avid reader and kept herself abreast with all the latest advancements in her field. She was always in gratitude mode and never ever complained.
Although we had age difference of thirty five years or so, we got along like buddies. One could discuss anything with her without the fear of being judged. She had a great digestion system and seemed to digest all the talks very well. I learnt a lot about life, marriage, profession, people, religion etc. Discussion in medical field always benefits the patient. She would take great pains in order to give the best to her patients.
She was one of my youngest regular blog readers. She never texted rather always called up to express her views on my posts. Her values were very similar to my Momsie. Many a times, when I felt my soul battery showed low charging, I used to join her for breakfast. This brief interaction charged me instantaneously. Such is an aura of a divine soul.
Words can never be enough to express how I feel. The void is getting bigger. People I love are crossing over to another dimension in the parallel world. I remind myself that I cannot see them but they can always see me. Best is to live by their values. They are here only, very much amongst us, but in parallel dimension. Such souls become our guardian angels and always guide us.
Please express your love. Love is the most powerful emotion and force which require full expression.
Keep loving, keep caring, keep reading, keep sharing.
Love Joojoo.

Hello beautiful souls,
Sharing a feedback from one of my clients, 22 years old girl. She shares the awareness and shift after 2 sessions.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Feedback :
Coming to therapy I wondered how only talking can help me overcome my issues because I have talked about that many times with myself and close friends. But after having my sessions it changed something in me.
I thought, the session will end soon with prescription of some medicines and usual advise. However, my counselor said right at the start ," I am not going to give any solution , only awareness." And I was like , inka kya fyada, jab solution hi nahin milegi.
After my 1st session at the end when I walked out of the clinic I felt overwhelmed like all the emotions I have buried deep inside me channelised and got released. It gave me a different angle of vision. It made me spin 180 degree so I can see myself as I am and be at peace with that. Through my session I used some keywords as mental notes and used them as tools whenever I again encountered my issues. Soon repeated efforts cleared the path and now I have established my win over them. Nightmare (shadows) which used to trouble me, no longer come in my dreams.
Another major happening was that I did it all by myself with the help of a right guide ( I remembered her words, I will create awareness, you will have to work), this also made me confident and self sufficient for my future Rather than a handicapped person who needs someone else to validate my feelings. It made me believe that the steering of my life is my hand , and my guide is just teaching me to drive with a calm mind on smooth and bumpy roads . I am very grateful to my counselor for making all the right efforts and bringing me this far in my healing journey ♥️

Join the Dots!
Hello beautiful souls,
Life is all about identifying the dots, joining them
and completing the puzzle of one's life.
Last couple of days have been challenging, causing an exponential leap in my faith in God. Whenever, I feel I hit a low tide, I reinforce my faith in God with all might.
Living on this blue planet in this infinite universe, I started viewing my mortal form from an infinite distance.
All the human beings appeared like tiny bright dots radiating energy and moving
in a harmonious pattern. Some dots were clustered, others at a distance. There
was a calm in this chaos.
Another belief I reinforced was that everything happens for a reason, every person we meet was destined and nothing could go wrong in the land of God (exceptions are for every rule).
The concoction of life is to read people - dots you meet in life as opportunity. And join the correct dots. You will soon realise all these dots form a phenomenal pattern.
This new
perspective empowered me immensely.
Good luck to all, identify the dots, join in correct pattern and
build your life.
Love,
Juju
My Airbus soared up in the blue skies leaving clouds far below. At 41010 feet above ground level, I felt I was in God's land . A safe and secure feeling swept over. Perfect time to introspect and reflect the mortal life I was living on Homo sapiens land. These giant birds give one's dream wings to fly
It was me and the infinite sky. No boundaries, no countries, a feeling of brotherhood and sisterhood. Flying always gives me a deep lesson in life besides adrenaline surge, especially during takeoff.
When the plane is on the ground, the buildings near the terminal look massive, almost intimidating. But as the plane takes off and slowly ascends, the same structures start looking smaller and smaller until, they seem non-existent. Have the buildings shrunk? Of course not! I’ve just risen above them.
Life’s challenges are a lot like those buildings. Sometimes enormous, at times unmovable and overwhelming. But when we work on rising above, they start to seem smaller. Challenges may not change, but their effect on us definitely diminishes to an extent that it seems to disappear.
So, next time when life feels too big to handle, just buy yourself an air ticket and rise above everything. On a practical note, fly in your mental spaceship. Trust me, the view from up there is always clear and better!
Love
Joojoo

Letter to Momsie
Address : Heaven, God's own world.
My ears yearn to listen to two words -
Hello Raju !
My eyes look at my mobile screen to see one particular call - Incoming Momsie
My heart longs to talk to you, to share my life, my accomplishments, success of my children.....list seems endless.
Success seems incomplete without a word of encouragement from you. Though Popsie is there.
Oh Maa .....forever is a long time to miss you!
Time heals all wounds ! Really ! Some absences create deep scars in our hearts. And time moving forward only seems to deepen our longing.
Yet in this ache, I do find some comfort in small things - our old pictures, your fragrance in your favourite saree and dupatta, your slippers. Now these seem like my connection with Heaven, which once existed on earth.
Missing you forever seems like eternity. I keep you alive within me. As life moves forward, I am learning to walk without you. And creating new memories, in hope of finding a "New Normal".
Forever is a long time, but it also a testament to the ever lasting power of love.
Love from my world to your world
Till we meet again …up there!
Love ,
Joojoo ( Yours Raju)
Daily Life Humor Angle
God created humans in all shapes and sizes with unique metabolisms. There are some who gain weight at a bullet train speed even if they inhale deeply while some don't gain even a single pound after eating like an ogre ! Seems like pure injustice.
This question must have occurred in everyone's mind. We all know many such contrasting souls in our circle. This write up sparked off when I told my learned friends my wisdom pearls using a metaphor.
Scenario 1
My friend's spouse is super fit with a lean built, has sensitive gut. Seasonal illnesses lead to gut revolt. And my friend's worries start. During one such episode, my friend wailed, " He is not eating properly and is looking weak."
"Oh dear! remember your spouse has a current account. You need to make appetizing dishes to sustain his current balance/ stamina. Else, he will feel famished. There is no saving's account or FD in his body," I replied.
" What do you mean ? account, FD ? What are you saying ?", she replied in an impatient, annoying tone.
"Look ! there is no stored fat. Stored fat is like a savings account or maybe an FD (fixed deposit). We have sufficient such balance and our bodies can survive even if there is no deposit for a couple of days. Your spouse needs to make a daily deposit to maintain the current balance, meaning stamina," I patiently replied. This metaphor instantly clicked with my business-mind friend. We both started laughing out loud.
Scenario 2
Another of my learned friend said, " Whenever, I gain extra pounds and am happy about it, my gut starts revolting and I come back to my original weight." This person is also super fit with a figure to die for. She wants to put on a few kgs whereas I want to shed few. This war is going once since few years.
" Hey!, you seems to have an in-built auto-cut. As and when you gain, your brain triggers the auto-cut and the extra goes away. You are God's favourite obviously as you have been born with an auto-cut. Now who gets such mechanisms ?", I replied in a calm way trying to hide my disappointment of not being blessed.
My friend smiled, " I was upset with my gut revolt. You have given me a new perspective. I like this as it helps me in accepting my gut issue."
It's important to use the right metaphors to live a happy life.
Love, Joojoo

Netflix Movie Review: Mother of the Bride
North Indian winters, cold January month, birds have flown from the nest and mummy (that's me!) has lot of time on her hand besides her profession. I do full justice to title given by TOI Times of India " Radiologist by Day: Author by Night." I create time from my Literary and social work, to watch movies with good content. One such is "Mother of the Bride" on Netflix, I watched last evening. A romantic movie year of release 2024, duration: 1 hour 30 minutes. Brooke Shields, sensational beauty of her time is one of the producers.
This movie as the name suggests is about relationship between a mother and her daughter Emma. Their emotions, after Emma gets engaged to be married to her boyfriend RJ. Its a light-heart romantic watch.
The best moments are from 57:20- 1:02:05 timings, a 4 minute 45 second scene which showcases both mother -daughter emotions. Daughter's feelings of insecurities about her mother always an edge up from her - in terms of looks, confidence, decision making etc. Her feelings of resentment towards her mother, mixed with love, hatred, and forgiveness. Mother's emotions are delicately handled too. One needs to watch this movie from 57:20 duration.
Bride's mother crisp speech to the newly- wed is straight from the heart (which every mother conveys, *last two I have added) -
- Never give up on love.
- Never give up on each other
- Never give up on happily ever after.
- Never one against other, always both versus the situation.
I resonate immensely with never giving up on happily ever after, which I refer to as 'The family portrait frame ' which under all circumstances should be intact. All said and done , it's a good watch.
Love, Joojoo

Whose your purple ?
Of late, I have heard this term a lot especially from teenagers and young adults. One of my friend's daughter said " Aunty, I purple you !" I replied , " Sunshine, I red you." And we broke into a hearty laughter. Red color symbolise pure love. What does purple symbolise ?
For the unversed, " I Purple You" phrase was made by BTS V in the year 2016. Back then, V explained that this meant , " I will trust and love you for a long time." Therefore, purple is not just a color, rather a representation of love between BTS and ARMY members. It is an extremely popular South Korean boy band. BTS was formed by Bang Si-Hyuk, a successful songwriter and music producer who established his own studio Big Hit Entertainment, in 2005. Later he assembled a group of talented boys , calling them Bangtan Sonyeodan ( Bulletproof Boys Scouts) which later became better known as BTS
Purple is somebody who came into your life and made it better by simply being there.They make you feel good and your life wouldn't be the same without them. They may be your colleague who understands you, celebrates your victories and offers support during your setback time. A person with a kind heart and compassion who simply enhances one's life by being there. A person one is most comfortable with, who love you for just because you are YOU.
To all my readers, " I purple you!"
Identify your purple person.I would love to hear your views in comments section.
Love, Juju
