As I grow older

I came across this piece and every word of it spoke to me ...loved it ---its me , what I am --so decided to share it --

Hope you will enjoy reading it as well :)

I've aged, I've become kinder to, and less critical of, myself. I've become my own friend.

I have seen too many dear friends leave this world, too soon; before they understood the great freedom that comes with aging.

Whose business is it if I choose to read, or play on the computer until 4 AM? I will dance with myself to those wonderful tunes of the 60s & 70s, and if I, at the same time, wish to weep over a lost love, I will.

I will walk the beach, in a swim suit that is stretched over a bulging body, and will dive into the waves, with abandon, if I choose to, despite the pitying glances from the jet set. They, too, will get old.

I know I am sometimes forgetful. But there again, some of life is just as well forgotten. And, eventually, we remember the important things.

Sure, over the years, my heart has been broken. How can your heart not break, when you lose a loved one, or when a child suffers, or even when somebody's beloved pet gets hit by a car? But broken hearts are what give us strength, and understanding, and compassion. A heart never broken, is pristine, and sterile, and will never know the joy of being imperfect.

I am so blessed to have lived enough to have my hair turning gray, and to have my youthful laughs be forever etched into grooves on my face. So many have never laughed, and too many have died before their hair could turn silver.

As you get older, it is easier to be positive. You care less about what other people think. I don't question myself anymore. I've even earned the right to be wrong.

So, to answer your question, I like being older. It has set me free. I like the person I have become. I am not going to live forever, but while I am still here, I will not waste time lamenting what could have been, or worrying about what will be.
And I shall eat dessert every single day (if I feel like it). .....

Innocence Lost  Forever...  So heart  wrenching...What a shame .. :(

Day in and day out we keep hearing about sexual abuse of Innocent Children..
More and more of these horrifying stories keep surfacing .. Most of the times leading to confused state of minds ,heartbreak and emotional..  Especially in countries like india where anyways to talk about things like these is a taboo...Even though our society is hesitant to talk about it ..but child abuse is a grave issue !

BUT what to do ? How to educate people ?.....Well , finally there is a video that is brilliantly done... this video talks about not only the Issue but it also suggests some solution

This video is a cartoon ..So it is perfect for children ..be it a boy or a girl ..do show it to them ...


It has been released by CHILDLINEIndia (http://www.youtube.com/user/CHILDLINEIndia) and in 12 languages ..

Jealousy - A disease of the heart that affects the mind- Ramblings

Talking about a Taboo topic  !! JEALOUSY

Get Well Soon - Get A Life !!

It is a disease of the heart which affects the mind as well........

Everyone has experienced it at one point of time in their life ..Whether you agree to accept it or not ...you have gone through those quick pangs ! But what defines you is how you deal with it .... 

A prettier person, a smarter person who everyone admires, A friend who started a small group which grew into a phenomenon,  an artist  friend who started at home and grew to be at par with the art degree holders, A friend who came from very humble beginnings but turned into this successful entrepreneur, A friend who started selling at home and has multiple stores  !!! does that sound familiar ??  Oh yes it does ! Don't deny it ...  But Let me assure you the thoughts of how, when, where are only natural ..Its when they change into why or anger or spite or is whats wrong. One needs to be open minded , one needs to understand that the success or achievements come with hard work persistence..determination along with sacrifices.You probably have no idea as to what personal battles that most seemingly successful person might have faced . Don't be quick to judge or dismiss whatever fields ..Just because it  their field or expertise is unconventional .. ...Remember every single person in this world is trying ..trying hard in their own little way...If you are content with whatever you have in life, its great. but don't judge anyone who want's to do more..If you have a dream and you haven't started yet do it.. 

Be open to change ..be open , be accepting ,a life be healthy, get don't let anyones efforts discourage  you and push you down the jealousy lane... Let others inspire you and you inspire others...

SOCIAL DIARIES...Where I'v been

 Yes, got featured in OK middle East ..  A bit sheepish but feels cool.Went to Spin last weekend ..Levis had organised a desi nite.Overall the music was good ,so was the ambiance.I would give it 3 stars *. A must stop for Ping Pong Enthusiasts and gamers.

A concept brought to Dubai by entrepreneurial Alyamour Dubai which launched in May 2013 at WAFI. SPiN Dubai features designer Ping-Pong tables, the world's most expensive and only gold "Pure" table, a world class bar, a fusion of international cuisine and a shisha lounge on the outdoor terrace. This stylish new venue is the first SPiN Galactic destination to open outside of North America.

Quote of the Day ! True Joy- ramblings

I Love Love this Quote ..and believe in it too.... Because once we allow ourselves to see things with an open mind ..it changes our perspective completely


" Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are " - Marianne Williamson

Mantra of Life -- NEVER GIVE UP

Such a simple yet powerful message ...It is Globally applicable, it has to be and should be "The Mantra Of Life"

No one ...I repeat no one has had the privilege of being never at a point where one thinks of letting go or giving up..We all go through it ..We all have our struggles, our personal battles..For those of you who know me well are aware of the fact that in the past 6 months I have had my share of personal battles. With my health ...My relationships...In that period I have gone through a plethora of emotions ..fear,anger, frustration, an overwhelming feeling of helplessness..  I came to very low points in my life ...I will be brutally honest ..I even thought of just quitting everything that I held dear.. Run away from it all......But somewhere ..just somewhere in deepest corner of my heart ..there was a feeling , an urge ....I knew that I'm a survivor ..I'm a fighter..I just couldn't make myself accept defeat ..I tried and oh ! how hard I tried !... I kept on saying to my self, "I need to try" ..and now  I'm on my upward path, one little little step at a time. I too, decided to never give up... :)
It is strange to hear this story because this is what I coach my friends & my clients when I guide them to deal with life.. Strangely thats a strong 'Aha! Moment !" but this only goes to prove that all of us are the same afterall !! and we all are fighting some battles... just maybe with different Devils !
Here is a very powerful video from you tube which I loved ...that was trending that Im sharing ..do watch it .....

The Truth of the Matter is...

The truth of the matter is ....
Some people are just born with it.!

Being a Mom

Love being a mom ...but some days are tough ..Today was one of them.. but Aha !! this poem shared by a friend is so lovely ... brings back the smiles :)

My name is Mom
The telephone is ringing, TV is blaring..
Sister is crying, because Brother's not sharing
There's a spill on the carpet that no one will claim
There is no time for sitting when Mommy is your name...

The laundry is folded ..but not put away.
The dishes you just washed are from yesterday.
Without any warning your relatives came.
There is no getting caught when Mommy is your name.

You drive to the market...You drive to the school
You drive to the cleaners, you drive the carpool
You drive yourself crazy, its really a shame.
There's no time for resting when Mommy is your name

To your bedroom you sneak to find peace for a minute,
but your minute is over before you begin it.
your little one finds you and thinks it is a game.
There's no time for hiding when Mommy's your name.
At night as you kneel down to thank God above you
An Angel creeps in and says "Mommy I Love You"
You may not have Glory,Fortune or Fame..
But you are really Lucky when Mommy is you Name .

Back to Blogging

Hello All ,

Started my blog in 2011.... but for some personal reasons didn't pursue ...

So finally ...now ....Getting back to it ..Please follow me for my thoughts if it interests you.. :)

ANU

To Start with here is a very powerful thought for the day.....         

 "THOUGHT  for the DAY"

Things take care of themselves

 as long as you don't try to control too much

Things will happen........ 

Things tend to occur.

Why resist what's inevitable? 

That's like swimming against the current, salmon notwithstanding. 

Go with the flow,..Glide with the glow!
