Momsie Popsie Diary

Are you watching? Brahma-mahurat is the best time of the day to introspect and chat with your own good self. T his is the time before dawn when sun is rising from slumber as night is paving way for it. The sky is clear with stillness in the environment as if Divine power is creating a connection with his creation. One can hear beautiful sounds of birds, breeze, leaves which are otherwise engulfed by noises during the day. I looked at my watch to check time as I had to wake up my little monk. A thought came with a bang - Watch! Watch! Watch! Why did I look at my watch in middle of my meditation? Internally, I gave an answer- to check the time so as not to get late in waking up my monk. This little action of watching reflected about my current priorities in life and ensured my thought and work was aligned. All it took was just a moment to be in synchrony. Multiple thoughts started churning in my mind with a question – If we watch at the right moment, majority of our problems will van

The Ogre Sleep There are times in lucky one’s life when 24 hours seem less and all days are Mondays. Sunrise and sunset happen at such a fast pace, so much so the calendar change seems to occur after every few days. If you are currently in this phase, then you will resonate with the title. Generally, there is a goal and all efforts are targeted towards achieving it. Everything takes a back seat especially sleep. Though I know this should not occur. When the aim is set very high, sacrifices are bound to be huge. A shout out to all children and their parents especially mothers who align themselves with their children’s goal. Once a while maybe after a fortnight or so, I sleep for around 8-10 hours at a stretch. I call this my Ogre sleep, after my favorite Shrek- Fiona. This sleep time energizes recharges and rewires all my neurons. I call it a body maintenance therapy which every physical form needs. I am eager to know who all take The Ogre Sleep. I welcome them to this club

Care #Control# Cure This is a very special write up as the topic has been given by my Popsie. I feel blessed whenever he motivates me to write on a topic. A lot of brain storming goes before I pen down my thoughts. If one goes by dictionary definitions then, Cure is defined as -To make somebody healthy again after an illness. Control means -power and ability to make somebody/something to do what you want; a way of keeping somebody/something within certain limits. Care means – looking after somebody / something so that he/she has what they need for their health and protection. These are more often used in medical and health care domains. Over the years these words have percolated into all realms and are freely used. There are many things or areas in our lives which can be controlled, few which can be cured and rest can be taken care of. Out of these three, care can be associated with other two From a medical angle, there are many diseases which can be controlled e.g. blood press

  I wish I was on the other side of phone !   While talking to an old friend, our conversation drifted to the foundation of marriage. She remarked, “One has to give in a lot in a marriage to make it work.” I was surprised by this remark of give in . I replied, “In a marriage, both partners need to build it up. So, we use the word institution. It is not a sphere where one needs to give in or take out. If one feels one is giving in, then the expectations arise. Only when we build it together, do we realize the true essence of it. ” These words knocked her out. I could hear silence. I patiently waited for her to come to present. In a couple of seconds, I could hear her hello and we were back on our track. With a feeling of giving in, one has an unseen baggage of expectations whereas in building up, one always strives to give their best without any returns. All the old sayings have deep meanings, although generations have lost on the actual meaning and just clanged on to phrases. O

  Ghosting!   Ghosting means, when someone cuts off all communication without any explanation. This extends to all the things it seems. Most of us think about it in the context of digital departure like a friend not responding to a text or even worse, your loved ones not responding to your texts or calls. This has always happened since times immemorial.   Earlier, we used to call it ignoring, now gen next uses the word ghosting and it is self explanatory. When they say, “Are you ghosting me? Or I am being ghosted. This happens in all spheres of life more often in social situations. Understanding this term is fine. Important is to understand why does one ghost? This has deep roots as to how one is brought up in this world and later how the person views this world. Walking on my literary path, I have realized human behaviour and responses are a summation of their childhood experiences and their bonding with their parents. Another aspect is who holds priority in your life. One will
