Second Umbilical Cord

Dear readers,

I am at an age where I am trying to rediscover myself in many ways, reflecting upon the life lived /time gone by and the life ahead. 

We all know for survival of the newborn the umbilical cord needs to be cut. This cord was the only source of connection between the mother and her child. All throughout nine months, the nutrition and well-being were dependent on these three vessels (two vessel at times). Once the baby is delivered, immediately the cord is clamped and cut. This procedure gives birth to an independent soul.

Parents nurture and raise their child with unconditional love. All this while there is an invisible cord/ connection which connects the parents with their child. The journey from childhood to teenage to young adult seems to happen at a snap of finger. 

Children now young adults start taking charge of their own lives, making their own decisions and so on. The need to seek constant approval from parents start a downhill trend. This period causes lot of inner turmoil in parents especially mothers. As parents they still tend to cling on to memory of their child and yearn to see them coming to them for all their life's challenges. This is the time for them to fly out of the nest into the big world. 

Parents need to be vigilant about this time period in their children's life as their unconditional love and support is needed for the extra push to propel them into their growth trajectory.

This is the time to cut the second umbilical cord. 

I know my timeline. Pray you identify yours.

Love, Juju

In conversation with GOD-Part 1

Dear readers, 

Early morning tea time with Popsie always makes me dwell upon my purpose in life. By the time I take my last sip, I feel enriched with a phenomenal experience. 

Sharing a conversation between two friends about their dreams. Senior Advocate (my Popsie) and his friend ( retired Army officer of highest rank). 

In Part-1, I will share the conversation of Popsie's friend (AO- Army officer) with God. Enjoy the conversation, dwell upon the hidden message. 

AO : God, my time has come. I want to come to your kingdom directly. 

GOD : No, you can't!

AO: But why? I need a direct ticket. 

GOD : My train is already running over load, I need to shift many people to hospitals.

AO: God! I want a direct ticket. Please guide me through. 

GOD smiles : Look, you can't come directly. The first class compartment is almost always overloaded. I need to unload many humans beings to hospitals (coporate and private).

In second class also, the capacity always exceeds leading to off loading in hospitals ( government and small private.) 

Your only chance is in third class compartment. And I know you are a passenger of first class. 

AO persuades, God, there must be some way. Please guide me. 

GOD smiles and continues, Since, you seem to be very keen. I will share my secret route. Sit in the third class compartment without any ticket and any  money. When TC comes for checking, he will pronounce you as a defaulter. He will call the police, case will be registered, referred to Enforcement. Then you will be directly presented before me. That will be your direct ticket.

AO woke up from his sleep, smiled, felt relieved. For now he knew the way. 

The real challenge was how to downgrade oneself from first class to third class. 

This conversation in dream led me to deciphering the anology of first classs, second class, third class and metaphors used. Please share your thoughts in comments section.

To be continued..........

It's ok to let it go !

Dear readers, 

We are marching towards the new year. Living by my Momsie's philosophy of "live in the moment", I am trying my best to make the most of each day. Everyday I try to be a better version of myself.

Last evening , I was watching a Christmas movie and was overwhelmed when the protagonist remembers her mother.  Suddenly, my vision blurred due to tears in my eyes. I wept more than the protagonist.

I felt a tap on my shoulder. I was taken aback as i was alone in my space in my home, watching the movie. I looked up and saw my Momsie smile and said, " Raju ! It's ok to let it go! Clinging on to memories is fine, but its important to make new memories too. Enjoy your life and create new memories. Don't hold back. It's ok to let it go." 

Let it go ! what ? my grief ! my memories of my mother! Am I still stuck in the loop of grief -guilt after losing her ! 

Many thoughts started coming, suddenly the mental traffic became chaotic and I felt exhausted. I closed my eyes, remembered her words, " It's ok to let it go!" 

Today morning when I woke up, something has definitely gone as I my heart feels lighter and happier. Hope, you also experience this magical feel. Let go of things which are holding you back from living a fulfilled fun-filled life. Cheers to Christmas spirit.

Love, 

Juju

Koi no Yokan!

Dear readers, 

How many of you like December - cold weather, Christmas and New Year eve ?

Although I am not a winter person, yet I love this month. Since childhood, I have loved reading stories and watching movies about white Christmas, cakes, cookies, Santa, reindeers and decorations. Pray Santa makes this wish come true next year.

To soothe my craving soul, I watch Christmas theme centric movies. Last evening, I watched a beautiful crisp movie set in New York and Vermont. There is this phrase used by the main protagonist -

" Koi no Yokan!" 

This is a famous saying in Tokyo which means - that you will fall in love with the person you just met (love premonition).

I found it very profound and powerful. The whole movie is about opening up, giving oneself another chance in life and being courageous in taking this step. 

While penning my thoughts, I am whispering this (so that my reader falls in love with my thoughts.) 

I pray my reader looks into the mirror and says, " Koi no Yokan!" 

Love, 

Juju
