Social battery!

 Social battery!

“Maa! my social battery is low, I will call you tomorrow. Good night!” my younger monk said, while disconnecting the line. I knew he was tired, as the last two weeks had been very challenging. College  Literary Club was organizing a Declamation contest as a part of Environment Day Celebrations. The entire medical college was taking part, time was less and a lot had to be done.

On the D-day, I was waiting to hear the details about the event, waiting for his pictures and so on. Finally, when my patience was about to say goodnight, I dialed his number. Immediately, he answered. There was excitement in his voice, a sense of satisfaction, he shared few pics and then said, Maa! I am low on my social battery!” I was bemused, social battery? A new term for me.

I could hear him smile as he continued, “I was in touch with so many people, talking on phone, texting messages, coordinating etc. I am tired and want to sleep now. Good night!” I resonated with this term- Social battery, wished him well. My sunny boy now, President of College Literary Club has finally become a young adult.

I found this term endearing. Some people feel they are introvert, some are extrovert. Now, I see from a new angle. Every soul comes with a built in chip of x GB and one's ability to socialize is directly dependent on this. The beauty is one can always increase the capacity.

From now on, whenever, I have to be in a social gathering, I plan beforehand and keep my social battery fully charged. Happy charging ! Keep loving, keep caring ! Keep reading, Keep sharing.

Love Juju.

When is the right time to embrace Spirituality?

When is the right time to embrace Spirituality?

 

I am often asked this question, “When is the right time to embrace spirituality?” What motivates a person? How difficult is the spiritual path? And many on similar lines.

In my understanding, there is no generalized answer to this. It’s like one shoe never fits everyone. But yes, I feel if the question has arisen in one’s mind then that is their first stepping stone into this beautiful divine world. 

Introspection, silence and self-talk are the primary keys.

In reality, there is never – a right time, never one fine day. Imbibe the principle of NOW

Sharing my side, I feel when one feels the mortal forms around you stop understanding you (you sense) or you are unable to communicate, Pause! Maybe your vocal conversation with mortals is near complete. And it’s time for silence.

So, I leave this as an open write up. 

Will love to hear your views in comments section.

Love, Juju

Ode to my Bhatty Aunty!

 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.

Feedback from a Client

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!

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

 

Giant birds in Blue skies

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 !

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)
