Disclaimer: This is a post from unknown source. Edited to suit my style and taste . PARENT OF AN AVERAGE CHILD I often get asked, .... Your child must be good in maths , science, studies in general... I simply say no, he is not. My child is average. Am I ashamed to say this?  Yes? No ! Should I be lying that he is the best in something which he is not, in front of others? Definitely No ! My child is that average child who people fail to notice either for not being at the top or being at the bottom. People fail to notice the sweet smile, funny talks, tight hugs,  friendly personality, kind behaviour, mild manners, helpful nature because he is JUST an average child. The school, society celebrates children who are top scorers or good in sports and extra-curricular, which rightfully they should. Amidst all this, my average child who is a spectator and cheers his friends with full heart goes unnoticed. His  love for sports ,(even when he knows he is not going to be selected

DISCLAIMER- THIS WRITE UP IS NOT INTENDED TO HURT ANYBODY,S SENTIMENT. BASED ON REAL LIFE INCIDENTS Society ! are you ready for empowered women? Women empowerment has always intrigued me especially gender equality. Women should never strive to be equal to men or follow their footsteps - if a man can do, why can,t I ? Everyone needs to understand that god created man and woman from entirely different mould, their brain wiring, physical attributes etc are from different sets. To compare anything, the qualities must be similar and in this case, they are poles apart; so how can we compare men and women. Why not cherish our own individual characteristics? Why not be a better your own good self. When society talks about women empowerment, an invisible label stating women you are inferior is already pasted on the forehead. Where on one hand, you make a woman feel inferior, on the other you try and talk about upliftment ! A woman herself is complete as she has power to create and nurtu

Modern age sin#Stress#necessity Vs choice These days stress is a word used by every second person, age no bar, caste, profession no bar. Even a two year child says, "Life mein bahut stress hai !" Students, professionals or homemakers or elderly everyone justifies themselves by using this word. Stress is an alibi for all the unfavorable /unwanted outcomes. It seems as if basics have been forgotten that it,s ones own duty to be happy and peaceful. We need to seek inside. Whatever we need is already within us: sad part is everyone is seeking it from outside, hence in this pursuit, fails in every attempt leading to dissatisfaction and boom pops up the modern age sin " Stress". This word is loosely used without understanding in depth, the actual meaning. Stress is the difference between expectations and reality (to put it simply) and has various forms like physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, workplace, financial etc. In which ever sphere we are involved, there

Roads# Life lessons Morning time, school time, drive time, holy time, when you connect with the almighty in fleeting seconds almost instantly. Traffic signal caught my attention while driving my son to school today morning. Morning calm and serenity is disturbed by driver’s honking even at redlight as if the driver ahead ( me)is oblivious to the traffic signal. It was clear that the next traffic signal lights were in coherence with the above said light. Immediately my thinking cap was on. Why everyone is in such a hurry to cross the red light. Red light is akin to moments of pauses in our lives to think and introspect, whether my ship is navigating in the right direction or do I need to steer, and assess the path ahead. Even if we cross this red light by overtaking, we need to stop at the next one. So, what’s the hurry? Let the engine rest (vehicles as well your own body ), then take the best shot in first gear and cross both the green lights at one go maintaining a good speed and

Half filled glass # Life All of us have heard this story about a glass on table, half filled with water. Million dollar question is- what’s your take on this? Half filled or half empty………. Interaction with my FPG always illuminates my mind and thinking process, and a casual conversation yields a new meaning to this old life’s story of half filled glass. An optimist views it as half filled whereas, a pessimist views it as half empty. This theory is old, rather obsolete. there are few takes on this. So what are the newer interpretations....... One is that one should just pick up the glass and fill it with all his/her might. Why should one waste time? A courageous and determined person will use this approach, rather than ponder ,whether it is empty or filled! Another is, to fill the remaining glass with either water, milk, juice or anything of one,s own choice and so as to modify the original content. Wow! never thought like this. In fact such approach should be in al

Hello Raju!! My ears yearn to hear these two words everyday for the past 53 months. The voice behind is like music to soul, soothing balm to aching life. “If dreams were horses, beggars would ride them “, goes the famous old saying which holds true. Actually, I feel like a beggar dreaming of listening to my mom,s voice one more time, with awareness to the highest conscious state that it will remain unfulfilled, until I cross over to the other side. Cheers! this is not a teary, sad write up. Smile please! When we meet/call, the energy of our first greeting sets the pace and tone of further moments in both individuals. An enthusiastic, energetic greeting, uplifts the mood with the energy being immediately passed on multiplied many a fold. “As you sound: thou you shall be”, is my favorite tag line. Even if one is feeling low, the mere effort to greet in a positive way will uplift the mood and day. First impression is your last impression. Similarly, first gr

Mummy # becomes # Papa Another beautiful morning! Bright, sunny, birds chirping, children with their school bags going to school by different modes of transportation Scene: Driving my son to school. Thinking stage: a casual remark# thinking cap# introspect Me: “Hey son!, your dad has gone for a conference, what are our plans for the evening ?” Son keeps quiet as if meditating I repeat my question again to catch his attention. Slowly, he lifts his face and turns towards right, “Mom, are you even aware that  when papa is not around, you become papa. I don’t, know how but I sense a complete transformation. It feels like as if my mom is gone and papa has entered her. ” Me (taken aback): “What do you mean? I am your mom and that's it.” Son: “You start behaving like papa, become more conscious of everything and in trying to manage single handedly, you lose your temper often,” Now how cool is this remark “Awwh!! He continued, “You are at your best
