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 behavior, 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. These celebrations have a short life span. Amidst all this, my average child who is a spectator and chee

(Simple, kind way to save relations and stay strong) ·     *I nspired write up. Dedicated to Twinkle - my dear friend It’s of utmost important to have a positive, motivating inner circle. Conversation with  such souls usually leaves one motivated, brimming with new recipes for My Mind’s Café. A routine conversation drifted to maintaining relations, it’s importance and the best ways to handle them amicably. I casually remarked, “Some relations are like bedsheets with manufacturing defects (In Hindi language we refer to it as kapde ke kaan hain). No matter how carefully you try to fold them neatly, one corner will always jutt out in the most obnoxious way giving it a very untidy look.” Hearing this my friend laughed and said, “I look it from a different perspective. Some relations are like that subject in your school life, no matter how hard you study, try to revise, you never cross beyond 80 marks,” she remarked. “That’s such a beautiful and an interesting analogy. Comparing

Three in a relationship (marriage)! Recently, there has been a rising trend in souring of relationships. The culprit is almost always the third entity in the relationship. It is very important to identify this. I distinctly remember from an old interview of Late Princess Diana where she had said,” We were always three in a marriage. So, it was a bit crowded.” To my young mind as a student, these lines had a great impact. These two lines always come up whenever I hear about disturbed relationships. The most common third entity nowadays is mobile phone. Let’s keep aside the new vocabulary terms-, ghosting, phubbing etc, associated with this. I feel this is the most powerful third entity.  Earlier, extra marital affairs were the leading cause of souring. Now a days, it's the affair with one’s own gadgets – mobile, television, laptops. Gone are the days when couples/ families used to sit together, discuss about each other’s days. Now, everyone is engrossed in checking their mob

Hello beautiful souls, From now on I am thinking of sharing my blogs and other activities on social media- WhatsApp status, Instagram and Facebook only. Please drop a "hello" if you want to receive as a personal message. “Maa, are you spamming?” my little monk remarked when he saw me share my write up with my family, friends and colleagues. “No, I am sharing the link for ease of the readers. In my circle, one finds it convenient to just click the link and read. It helps me in i ncreasing my blog readership,” I calmly replied.  “Maa, these days everyone’s phone gets loaded with so many greetings, shares and other messages every day. And it’s a humungous task to keep one's mobile memory space free. It takes time to transfer important images/ data into hard disk. It’s just like cleaning the house, cleaning one’s mind, thoughts etc. At times, important messages are missed. I fear your messages may be taken as spam,” he casually replied. Now was the time to adorn my
