Reader’s discretion is respected. Preface: I had gone to meet my colleague to discuss a medical case. The conversation that followed was about children leaving their parents and homeland for greener pastures, settling abroad. Their parents are left behind waiting for them to return. Every person wishes for a life based on his/her own choices. Where there is a choice, there is no place of regret. This write up request is by a special reader who has been a witness of my journey in literary world. In relationships, it’s always about understanding the other person’s perspective. There are numerous reasons as to why children settle abroad. In many cases, children want their parents to be with them too. However, parents do not want to leave their comfort zone. Do not blame your children for leaving their

Reader’s Choice Series # Children settled abroad- Part 1 Disclaimer :   Sensitive topic with aim of creating awareness. Any resemblance to any person or situation is purely incidental. Reader’s discretion is respected. Preface I had gone to meet my colleague to discuss a medical case. The conversation that followed was about children leaving their parents and homeland for greener pastures, settling abroad. Their parents are left behind waiting for them to return. “I will make this place so comfortable for my child that he will never ever think of leaving this place. After all I have build up this huge empire for him. I will give him so many comforts, so that the thought of leaving his homeland never occurs to him,” said a fellow colleague with a smile. “Your children are finishing school. What have you decided for them?” He picked up his tea cup and started sipping tea and urged me to take my cup too.   I sipped my tea in silence. I could see him getting impatient and he rema

Reader’s Choice Series # Children are separate units! Disclaimer :   Sensitive topic with aim of creating awareness. Any resemblance to any person or situation is purely incidental. Reader’s discretion is respected. A recent conversation with a young man of thirty years with fifty years of life’s experience sparked this. He is a man of profound wisdom and believes in children being independent units, be it son or daughter. All of us start life as an individual and expand our circle as we grow up. Once married, the journey of separate unit kick starts. This person is truly broad minded as he speaks about children with no gender difference tags. Let us clearly understand the very essence of human life. Life starts from a single or an individual cell and then it multiplies and takes a form. Once the cord is cut, the new born baby becomes separate/independent. As parents we nurture them, love them and try to give the best environment to grow up as per one’s capabilities. This love is

No one to call/share! Do you feel so? There are times when one feels lonely and there is no one to open one’s heart to talk. Each one of us must have been in this boat at one point or another. When the heart is full and yeans for an outlet, the road ahead seems dark and lonely. The air feels alien and the mind does a mental contact check with speed of light. Somehow that one contact doesn’t get shortlisted. During such times, in my experience, the best strategy is to either write down what one wants to talk about or else sit in meditative posture and initiate talk with almighty. God is our supreme parent. Though, we come in this world through our biological parents. This is the ultimate truth. Sitting in silence helps as silence requires immense power. Prior to this practice, I used to search for the right person for days with no positive outcome. Most of the time, we know the answers. We yearn to be listened to in an unconditional manner. After my Momsie crossed into another rea

  "phub·bing the practice of ignoring one's companion or companions in order to pay attention to one's phone or other mobile device." This word (new to me) and it's meaning is a true reflection of current scenario. Our vocabulary is increasing exponentially to accomodate our associated behavioural changes in this ever evolving world heading towards digitilization. Phone snubbing is phubbing. It tends to be rude and inconsiderate behaviour. There are other gadgets too - TV, laptops. Just wondering whether we will have these new words soon - TV-ubbing, Lap-ubbing etc. Not to forget social media too- Insta-ubbing. Feeling bemused by this advancement, where the darker side of human nature has dedicated words to it's credit. Time to keep one's mind open in this fast paced evolving world.  The way this world is moving, I fear soon we will have this new word-  nat-ubbing # nature snubbing. It gives me goose bumps to think what will be the consequences if nature s

Book Review: Life A lemonade. My dear readers, On a mission to review book reading culture, I am sharing a book review, written by Dr. Diptimala Agarwal. Wishing her enough luck and sales for her book "Life A Lemonade."  Sharing book review and the links.  Book Review: This book is Author's sincere attempt to share her learning’s from friend's lives.
