Oil in the Lamp...


Mornings... The dawn... The beautiful warm sun rays. After the dark night! A wonderful gift to our lives!
We open up our eyes…We pray….

We welcome the new day with all the good hopes and well wishes. Adoring our smile is!

More often of whatever the culture or religious custom one follows, one bows to the almighty. ‘Being grateful’ the gesture is all about! Some offer flowers, some light up the candle while some light up the lamps. But... Why so? Is it the ritual or traditions of the family? Or one follows them from within for this!

It is all about hopes and feelings. We wish to part our day on a healthy and happy note. About the success we strive for. Our persistent efforts and hard work we bestow for the better being and successful day. Some do it for themselves, some for their partners, their kids or their families!  But we do! We often see our grandparents, our parents or sometimes ourselves, adding oil in the lamp. To keep it lit. So the rays of good hopes and happiness don’t part from us. So that we are not deprived of happiness, goodness and gratefulness! That oil in that lamp is the hope we keep on adding day and night. So the flame is lit continuously. It should shine bright and healthy. It keeps us motivated and focused. It maintains the aura in our house. It doesn't allow the darkness approach us or our place. It keeps enlightening our lives with its light. It is the ‘Hope’ we hold as a power to fulfill our desires and overcome the evil thoughts. It is the ‘Hope’ which supports us during the disappointments. It gives us the strength to get up and move ahead. It enforces us to fight again and be victorious. It is our ’Hope’ which empowers up over a disheartened life. It is nothing but ‘Hope’ that makes one realize about the goals of life. It helps keep our vision clear. ‘Hope’ keeps gratefulness alive. No doubt it shakes during the wind, but strives to keep standing still with the same brightness. It evokes the fire within to keep fighting against the odds and be an ultimate winner.  It helps to be proud and keep up the good name amongst the crowd.

Hope is all about trust, about one’s own nature to keep happiness and gratefulness alive amidst the unsung phrases of life.

Never Regret...

Image
Regret - The dictionary says it as- a feeling of sadness, repentance, or disappointment over an occurrence or something that one has done or failed to do. It often causes people to feel shame, sadness, or remorse about decisions or the ways in which they have spent their lives. Yes! It is…But wait! Is it so…always? Is it an individual who creates this situation or it simply occurs?  Sometimes, some things simply happen. They simply come and go! And if we don’t react in a required way, there is a point of regret we keep thinking about. There can be situations or circumstances; some may be even unavoidable for one to go through it. But can we find a way out for not regretting on the same? Yes may be… Our reaction and response on that particular time might prove fruitful. There are opportunities we sometimes unknowingly skip about. That can take us towards regret. Sometimes we react in aggression, without giving a second thought, hurt other’s feelings unknowingly. Thus we...

The Two Sides Of The Coin!

Image
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 ...

Dad and Me...

Image
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 ...
