I AM LOST

                                                          

  How often we are completely aghast and leave everything on God --entrust our very being on the Supreme with the hope that the flow of wind will once again be normal.The avalanche will move away ,the tornado will pass and complete peace will be restored.In the darkest hour we trust completely  the Almighty.

He is the Supreme Power our own God who we fear,trust and pray.With the hope of a small child we form dreams and form our ideas of the self.

For me God is everywhere.I look into the eyes of my innocent  children,in the laughter of my struggling friends --my contemporaries sailing in ship of hope facing the turbulence of world and worldly affairs.

I look at the face of aging parents---their pain touches me.

I am lost.I don't know who am i??

I find solace that i am lost.There is still somewhere to go,still some life to live,some moments to discover,still experiences to be had.Life suddenly starts getting more puposefull.All because I am lost.

On losing myself I have the hope of finding my purpose.And I am alive. 

Dont give up.

God is very kind and life is even kinder.

Enjoy more laugh more and rejoice.

My heart bleeds.

My heart bleeds
when I see them on road.
gentle little faces....smiling at me...
My eyes has tears
when I watch them
looking at me...with longing...
My soul stirs
when I realize
I have been doing ...everything for me..
My being is happy
has come a long way
I am noy weary...can never be...

CONVERSATION

Tell you what,I had this wonderful conversation this morning with my maid.(hitting the back button is it?)Its true .You can actually have good kind of conversation with them.I mean they are this powerful storehouses of energy (how else can you explain their working capacity in this bitter Delhi cold).So coming back to the conversation(see you are still reading- he he) I asked her when can I expect  my original maid (hate to use the word--should call them help).Well this one with whom I am conversing is coming/reporting/proxying)in place of her good friend -my original help.
Yeah surprise surprise.
me:  woh(my original) kab aa rahi hai?
maid: miss call mara tha didi par call nahi aaya.
me:   so usne to mujhe kaha tha chaar din me aa jayegi
maid: kya bataoo.thand bhi bohot hai .gao gayee hai .ab to thand kam hone par hi aayegi lagta hai.
me:  (gulp!!)  oh ! no!This cant be.tum tab tak karogi na??(please say yes!!)
maid:  didi mera do aur ghar bhi toh hai.
me:  ha mujhe pata hai magar...aisa karte hai agar woh is pure mahine nahi aati hai toh agle mahine se tum hi kar lena yaha ka kaam.(mean mean me!!)
maid:(NOW )  nahi didi gareeb hai na (her friend she meant).uska kaam nahi lenge.
       Told you these maids!!(helps)
me:  ok ok .so(a bit apprehensive about this maid's monetary status.)so who do you have at home?(expecting company working husband and a good earning)
maid:   admi hai .ghar pe hi rehta hai.  teen ladkiya .do ladke.sab school jate hai.didi pada likha loon.
me:   aadmi kamata hai?(now deep in the earning thing)
maid:  tailor hai .thoda bahut  kaam mill jata hai.
me:  gaon me kheti baadi?
maid:  are kaha didi.
me:  thik hai.chalo.chai peeogi(offering her for the fourth time in 5 days of her arrival to my place)
maid:  nahi didi .jyada chai se tabiyat kharb hove.subah ghar se peekey ati hoo.(refusing for the 5th time in 5 days!!!)
me: ( badly in need for my own hot cuppa) bahut thand hai -aaj sham ko rahene do.kal aana.
maid :theek hai didi.
 Goes off merrily.

Told you .
Got principles this one.Kudos.



HAPPY DAYS

Today is the day.I have had enough.I have to get started today.If I don't then it never will be.That said and done I am once again writing!!YIPEE!!
Last post was written a month back.
Had a wonderful vacation with kids and hubby.
Our vacation started with attending my husband's school reunion(with family) .And watching some forty -40plus school buddies meeting after 20 years was really a treat for the eyes  as well as the soul.It was fun from the word go.
No competitions or comparisions but sincere heartfelt comradeship.
So many success stories told and personal achievments shared and enjoyed by each with the spirit of friendship.
It was really great.

Thats Shantanu and me in the corridors of KV School Balco.

POSITIVE MIND

So now you have asked for it.!!!
You have decided to read this piece and i am sure you will only be too happy after you have finished .
Well to start with I will tell you to play a game.
Believe me it's simple and currently i am trying it out with both my kids for the last two days.Yes!kids can also be involved and asked to participate-good for the whole family.
To cut it short,let me tell you the rules.
RULE 1
Start by talking with each other-kids/spouse/parents/siblings--on any topic--preferably when most of the members of the house are present.
RULE 2
You can use any words other than the words indicating  or expressing any form of negativity.
RULE 3
Anybody who uses a negative word is out of the game.The person who stays on is the winner.
HINT
See basically there are various ways in which you can express your views.
eg.
1)Don't watch T.V now and go and do your H.W.
                         can be expressed as
It will be better if you do your H.W first and then watch T.V.

.
2)I don't get enough time to read the newspaper
                           can become
I will try and find time to read the newspaper from today.

So all the donts becomes do or some other positive expression.



Think of a house  deserted for a long time that is badly in need of repair  and every nook and corner of it is covered with dust and cobwebs.For some reason you want to make it habitable again .On entering you will want to open all doors and windows to let fresh air in.Then you will start the process of thorough cleansing.It will be made beautiful with pleasing fittings ,comfortable furniture.
The removal of unwanted dust (negativity's)and bringing in new possessions(positives)gives joy and comfort to the occupants -to-be.
I feel that all negative values can be shed through consistent efforts and the process once started with firm determination can give wonderful results.
A positive mind rejoices ,loves,forgives,and is ever ready to give.
A constant vigilance over our thought process I believe will ensure the desired transformation.

IT ISN"T A CHILD"S PLAY

Last afternoon my kids Tia aged 6 and Adi aged 11 came home from school.As their winter timing makes the arrival and departure time  30 min later than the normal time,they usually reach at 3.00pm in the afternoon which is pretty late -specially for my younger one.
Anyway as the concerned mother I make sure that they change soon and have their food .
But yesterday they were so tired they literally plunged into the sofa and didnt show any signs of  changing and coming for lunch.This of course was not accetable to me .And I decided to teach them a lesson.But before I could even start with my strict mommy routine, I decided to change course and sat down myself along with them.After promising them that they could have lunch in front of the TV I asked them about school and how their day had been.
Oh!they really had a lot to tell.
Their annual function's practice were going on in full swing and that particular day they had toiled the whole day,ad not been able to eat their tiffin ,had not even taken rest ,were busy performing their respective items with their groups many times-the D-day being two days later.
Not that I didnt know all this .
My little ones were composed enough not to have comlained about the whole thing .
As I said it isnt a child's play .Should learn from them.
Hoping to witness a wonderful annual day.
Shall write about it.
See you.
