Life goes on....

Sometimes you question life but the answers never come.

It is simple when you are a child. Full of life, full of dreams, and you’re content...really happy too! Scraped knees hurt only for a while…You hurt but you forget, and you’re back to smiling, back to living….you seize life effortlessly, and you just get on with it.

Childhood’s so precious don’t you think?

But we never realize.

When we are small we never realize that life is too short and every moment counts…everything feels like an illusion, a magical world but it’s only because we just know how to live it to the full when we are children…

SOMEDAY, everything changes. You are older and the picture is different. You are happy and you are sad! Happiness fleets and the pain lingers…
The past never changes, and each time you resolve to make every minute count, something happens that you don’t understand.

You lose people. People, you thought would be around all your life…those, you joked with, talked with, laughed with, walked with and shared life with.

Some, family.
Some, friends.
Some, special people.

Some loved ones die. They just go before you and leave you behind, scared, sad, perplexed and wondering.

Some leave…
Just like that, they leave you with a lot to think about. Sometimes with full of questions (or moments to remember…bittersweet!) Life changes. People change. You go your own separate ways. You live your own lives. Childhood friends, high-school friends, college friends, professional friends…they come & go. Only a few go a long long way with you.

ONE DAY, you are living on the edge.
Life is beautiful, life is short, life is fleeting, life is sweet, life is bitter, life is mundane, life is thrilling, life is ironic, life is frustrating, life is trying, life is fun, life is one, two many things, feelings, emotions and experiences.

You make mistakes, maybe you have regrets, maybe you learn….you fall, you pick strength, you go on…you dream, you walk, you run, you fly….you try, you achieve, you succeed….you feel good, you feel bad, you disappoint, you love, you hurt, you cry…you long, you despair….you feel.

We lose people we love. Perhaps, we make the BIGGEST blunders in life. We enjoy the sunshine. We also need the rain sometimes. We dream, we hope, we pray!

But it’s still hard to forgive.
Make peace. Understand. Or just truly live….

and yet, Life goes on…
(Truth is, it’s just too short to stop living)

Never forget your roots

Some of you might have come across the tipping story of the world’s richest man who astonished a waiter with his reply. It is said that when Bill Gates tipped the waiter who served him in a restaurant with a 5$, the waiter had a strange feeling in his face. After Gates realized and asked what happened, the Waiter said, “I'm just amazed because on the same table your son gave a tip Of 500$, and you his father, the richest man in the world gave only 5$.” Gate’s reply to this, which goes, "He is the son of the world's richest man, but I am the son of a wood cutter. Never forget your past!" forms the essence of roots that I wish to talk about. I found this story inspirational. It is hard to remain grounded after we become somebody. When a little achievement, some wealth and fame greet you, it is easy to leave behind your roots as though it has nothing to do with your life. Not to talk of becoming very powerful, extraordinary people, but even in our ordinary circums...

Mothers at Home, Professionals at Work

Working Mothers have changed the dynamics of family, today. The tradition of women who naturally become housewives after marriage is now, a story of the past. With more and more educated and career-driven women emerging, the modern society is witness to supermoms who are equally capable professionals in their areas of expertise. But this new look of the modern day mother, hasn’t changed one bit, the special qualities that naturally seem to run in mothers since time immemorial. Mothers, we know have overwhelmed us with their patience, devotion, affection, endurance and extraordinary love. In addition to that, in today’s context, they are one of the bread-earners (or sometimes, the sole bread-earner) in the family. But make no mistake, it only means that the modern day, working mothers have more roles to play. On Mother’s Day, we picked some of the working supermoms, whose greatest joys do not necessarily come from what they have achieved in their careers, as one may also assume, b...

The last road trip

To randomly pick a few clothes, pack them in a light travel bag, and hop into a car at the break of a new dawn and it was just 3 days before a new year takes over. The wanderlust in me is insatiable. To leave home only to discover a new place, to experience a new joy, to blend in a new culture, to acquaint myself with a few new faces, to taste a different kind of freedom, just to be out there somewhere I’ve never been gives me indescribable happiness. And so, the road took me to the wilds. A village almost forgotten by the outside world. One can spot only a few scattered houses but it’s easy to see this place is immensely blessed with very fertile lands. Fields are far and wide. It stretches so far you can’t see the end. And such an afternoon is rare where sunshine lavishly falls and the wind plays a new song. Photo by Jabu Krocha Photo by Jabu Krocha Yet, you can never stay in a place long enough when you are just visiting. So you hit the roads again. Unlike the dusty wi...
