Being Pragmatic...!!

Friend...! We all have them in our lives. A part of our life they are; they become! They are the one with whom we share a bond of mutual affection. They complete us. They fill our life with beautiful colors! I pray that no one should ever be deprived of this wonderful blessing..... We have lot many friends and sometimes the list becomes small. Sometimes we tend to be selective. One such was mine. I was merely in the primary school and the memories are still fresh. Even after these long years, unknowingly I miss him. It was just a usual day like always when his parents dropped him to our classroom. Teacher offered a smile and waved to his parents, held his hands and made him sit beside me. It didn’t take time for me to realize (even at that small age of mine) that he was not a normal child like all of us but was a special one. He was not fortunate with the normal abilities like us. Our class teacher introduced him to me and instructed me to look after him with the study m...

Death! End of one of the blessed gift to mankind! Life! Starts at a mere tiny mind and health. And ends with an almost near the same situation. Birth in the form of a tiny little soul and body. And the end, the same! But the middle part is said to be in our hands! Our mind, our habits, our thoughts, our behavior, everything! But do we really follow or have ever closely observed it? If one had! None will conclude it calling a roller coaster but will invoke it as a journey! N number of halts, never permanent until the last one. The last day we breathe. The last moment we see around! The biggest loss is losing our beloved one forever... Sometimes we witness our beloved leaving us in front of our life! We prepare ourselves for the same. All prayers all hopes coming to a halt. And sometimes we witness some leaving us in a state of shock. Totally unprepared for the situation. Who knows! We might be in a drive and receive a sudden call regarding sad demise of one of our beloved? Who ...

What a sigh of relief it was to lie down on the bed after a tiring day!! Sleep was all that was left for me... I simply closed my eyes amidst the prayers. Alas...! The next morning I woke up in a surprise!!! What the hell......Was it a dream? Yes!! I woke up to my senses after that deep sleep! No... No hang over at all! (By the way I don’t drink) So.... What was it?? By the way I am sure to my contexts that all of us, some day or the other, or might have often come across the dream which we on our very urge are in need to see again and again! Sometimes we tend to see that very thing or situation, which we somehow expected in real life! Yes we see them. Sometimes, some moments strike us which we realize them to have been seen in our dreams. I don’t think anyone will challenge me on its denial. It was no different for me tonight! I came across a situation in my dream where I could bring my wit and urge to reality. I was able to make a dead fish swim back again in...

Dad and Me! Of course! A tag team quite often. But definitely one of us becomes a game changer at times. He has always been a protagonist it seems. Till my concerns. I don’t think any kid would like to accelerate and move ahead his father, but rather would like to see him win. This remains vice versa too. A father is a superhero for the son. Mine is a Superman for me! I am a fan of the character. Just like both of them seem super strong, sturdy and what not. Mine can even fly! How’s that even possible? For me! Yes! He has been available whenever I needed him. No matter if I am miles away. It’s not only for me but for the family either. A mentor. A solution always available! No need to give a try! I can bet on this. I can imagine how he might had held my hand and me holding his finger while being a toddler. It’s his talks and whatever he used to whisper in my ears while being a kid that today I am somewhere like him, in taking decisions or handling situations may be. Today even ...

With some hopes and mixed feelings, there have always been circumstances when we need to see the other side of the coin. Rather, there appear two sides of each situation. Now at this phase, one’s thinking of remaining firm or being stuck to a point might sometimes not work well and might not even favour. Say for eg., if you conclude on someone on a point without knowing his situation sounds to be partial. Rather concluding on knowing the phase seems practical. All of us somewhere somehow might have definitely come across such situation. So any solution to this? Getting disturbed on a topsy-turvy situation I guess has never been fruitful! Rather getting into the cause is! Any particular moment might again be disturbing! Don’t mind for emphasizing on the word ”Might” because it is not on a sure basis and varies from person to person! A person might come yelling on unnecessary things, irrespective of under what circumstance he/she is! May be he is under financial pressure or facing ...

There have always been instances when we come across something unusual. It attracts your eyes. Or, sometimes prove disturbing. Means one cannot ignore it. You'll keep thinking about it. Impactful it proves. I was no different to  be spared from  such instances. It was a usual drive to the office as always. I couldn't distract my eyes from an old lady sitting by the footpath. She was having a half filled water bottle quenching her thirst. But I could observe her eyes. Tired. Drowsy. I could recognize her body not at all willing to move. Lean her health was. A labour was she? A workwomen or serving  somewhere for a living. I wish there shouldn't be such instances on such an old person. Ever in life. They spare their entire life, living for the betterment of the family. This is the time they need their children, relax at home, take rest. It is really hurting to see someone helpless. There are many more texts to note. Many more visuals which remain unignored. They lit...

Books! Righteously stated by a Chinese Proverb- ‘A Book holds a house of Gold’. True it is. They are more than a treasure could be. The more you read, the more knowledgeable and learned you feel. There are many to go through, and whatsoever you hold, it becomes truly precious. Recently it happened for me to go through one. ‘The Power of your Subconscious Mind’ by Dr. Joseph Murphy. No doubt, what a superb compilation and study the author has went through. A daily life has somewhere sometimes been tough to all. But it all depends on how we manage our conscious and sub conscious mind. The book gives clear explanation about the same. It is truly a game changer. I was inspired by some of its material and few are mentioned below... All are pretty elaborative. Magnetize! We are born to succeed. Matter expands on heating, so does our mind (meaning we can train it, it respond as we want to) Interaction of the conscious and the sub conscious mind. Don’t end the sentence in negative. I ...

Airport! Not just a place of arrival and departure! But a place of stories! It’s not only about flights, but also about feelings… It was just a usual day, where I happened to be at the airport to receive my sister and her family. The flight was almost delayed by few minutes, but for me those were enough to capture some beautiful moments to archive. There were kids and people around me to notice. There were smiles and laughter everywhere. But somewhere, sorrow was also seen hidden amidst them. Why shouldn’t it be? After all, some were departing away from their loved ones. Some were energetic while few could be seen tired. Some were carrying gifts while some were waiting with the name plates. The huge structure around was marvellous. My eyes caught an elderly couple holding each other’s hands! Definitely they were waiting for their child. Their eyes were full of happiness and hopes, shining bright and were constantly trying to peep behind the partition glass so that they co...

Unlike any other day, today was a day to admire and to cherish. And it went through nothing but a jungle safari! Yes! A jungle safari! Amidst The forest! It was the first of my life and after all my experience I’d really and deeply suggest one and all to definitely have a visit to the jungle at least once in a lifetime. I bet none will regret on that! My family accompanied me to the woods. Nothing would have been the best without them! A Family completes us. A log drive was to start with, after we left home early in the morning. That bright day and the sun was bliss. It was a feeling of being grateful to the life for this wonderful, beautiful day! What a creation it was! Superb! Flawless! The nature, the animals, the birds, the waters, the shrubs, the grass, the trees, the breeze! Simply Awesome! Just go once and have an experience of seeing the nature, the animals from a small distance! For me it was like they want to communicate something! That first look, when the vehicle sto...

Indian Marriages! Two sides of the coin again? May be or may not! One a side, there is a girl who follows the Indian tradition of getting married and following the customs and traditions of the house or the family. On the other, there is one totally independent and free! It depends... Both of them might be well educated. But totally depends on their own choice! She might want to get settled simply, rather than expecting a huge pay or she might have the strength to handle the house as well as office. Sometimes she faces the mixed feelings. She loves her husband and family and respects her in laws looking after the house and abiding by its rules and regulations. Though sometimes she looks outside the window for her dreams.         She gets up early in the morning and streamlines the day. Looks after all. Gets the kid ready for the school. Makes lunch for all. She makes sure that the house is flawless! Everyone is proud of her and her duties. But deep down in ...

Mother Mother , A lady she is called... A guardian she has proven to be. With a glitter in the eyes, a fairy you are...definitely....to see! ‘MOM’, the very first that I could utter, I know that there wouldn’t be any....The Best and the Better! You streamline the day and keep up the good work, Until our eyes fall asleep after playing with the whole world! You are the one that knows every single bit of mine, Oh Mother...you are the one who could do anything to let me shine! Mother....You are my teacher, my guide and my mentor, You were and you are a truthful soul, you are the best in the nature! You have been a friend of mine from the moment I’ve seen the light, Scary was the night, but it was your hand holding me tight! It’s all your efforts what I am today, For me you are everything, what else can I say! Today you have shared me with a girl unknown, For righteously you know that she’ll bind us all with a loving heart of her own! You knew my ha...
