When responsibility comes knocking......

Image
It's a common scenario,(i guess especially in India) where parents work hard for their kids, to provide them with the best of everything. We see to it that our kids get an environment of total comfort, so that they can concentrate on their studies and work towards achieving a bright future. In today's all hi-tech world, there are so many channels offering us advice on the best ways of Parenting. From diet charts to academic know-hows, all r there in the wide web. So in this wide world web of parenting do's and dont's i thought i will add one of my thoughts too...... so here goes..... One thing that we almost always miss to teach our kids is how to handle responsibilities.We are too busy in providing and creating a safe platform for their lives, that we forget to show them how to do some thing on their own. It can be anything, from simple things like tying a shoelace, to a bit more complex things like shopping wisely on their own. It might sound silly at first, and...

.... and then we Grew Up!

  "Give me SomE SuNShiNe GiVe me SoMe rAin GivE me AnotHer chAnce to gRow up onCe agAiN" ...... Lines from a box office hit!.... ... other than making its way into my "favs" list, these lines also became successful in making me wish .... .... wish for another chance to grow up... .... another chance to be that innocent life with no worries to scare away my sleep.... .... another chance to keep smiling and not be mistook as having 'wrong intentions' .... another chance to dance in the rain and not be considered Crazy! .... another chance to laugh and cry whenever i feel like, and not to 'control emotions' ...now does that sound as if there are more privileges wen being a kid, than a grownup! If you had a chance to grow up again... what would u wanna do friends? 

Slow Down.....:)

Last sunday i heard the following story .... A scientist was performing an experiment on the verbal reactions of fleas. He had trained a flea to jump on command. The scientist would command the flea, "Jump flea!" and the flea would jump. Then the scientist would proceed to pull off one of the fleas legs with a pair of tweezers and write a comment in his notebook. The scientist did this many times until the flea had only 1 leg left. The scientist commanded, "Jump flea!" and the flea made its best effort to jump, which the scientist recorded in his notebook. After he pulled off its last leg, the scientist again commanded the flea to jump, and after repeating the command many times without the flea responding he jotted down in his notebook, "After the flea loses all of its legs it becomes completely deaf." .......:) ..... thinking about it, how many of us have been like this scientist so many times in our lives?!!! When faced with challenging situatio...

Books Books !!!!! ~~~~~~ "The Last Lecture"

"When you see yourself doing something badly and nobody's bothering to tell you anymore, that's a very bad place to be. Your critics are the ones telling you they still love you and care. " Makes sense?? ….. Yes?.... then you Should read this book….. Randy Pausch Is a professor, who is counting his days as he fights against pancreatic cancer. The book as named is about his last lecture, which he sees as a way to connect to his fellows and specially his 3 little kids who’ll grow up without him around. Thinking about a sad autobiography of a cancer patient? …. You are wrong! As he narrates his life and dreams, not even once we feel sad or sympathetic for him. He brightens up the day with instances from his childhood and teen years and makes every moment as lively as possible with his simple yet forceful language. The energy with which he presents his lecture reflects in his words too. And it is something that lifts our spirits to greater heights. Through the variou...

What keeps us young.......?

Image
Amidst the busy schedules of family and work, amidst the worries of getting up early, cooking, school timings, work timings, work schedules and dinner plans! rarely do we get time for 'ourselves'. and because of this same reason, the concept of staying young or loyal to ourselves has become a real big marketing strategy all over the world. "age defying", "stay young", "weight loss" are all words in our day to day life which targets the same thought…..  of making us think about erasing the lines of old age. But friends, what is it that actually keeps us young? Is it the wonder formulas available in colorful packages? or is it the millions of spas and gyms asking us to spend just a few millions to get back that "glow"? What keeps us young... are our Friends ..... .....as we grow, we take up more responsibilities, each of which comes with their own built-in set of worries and heartaches..... amidst all of that when we have ...

When was the last time u fell head over heels for someone and wondered why the other person just didn't see it! When was the last time you and ur soulmate fell silent  after  a long fight wondering why the fight had started ! When was the last time u shouted at ur lil one, not knowing that his little hands were intenting to help u ! When was the last time you stopped and listened? When problems surround you, when life becomes hell in the making! When love is forgotten and ego takes the upper hand....  When friendships are broken beyond repair.. When you are running around looking for a solution... .... stop and listen, maybe your heart is trying to tell you something, and maybe that one thing wills solve everything!

As the 3 most popular and trendiest keywords became headlines , one cant help but wonder how apt the song of sa vage garden is for the moment, as they sing...  "..... Animals and children tell the truth, they never lie  Which one is more human  There's a thought, now you decide............." For those of u who didn't browse the headlines, the story is about " a cold-blooded crime that’s sending shivers across the city: a yoga instructor kills his foreign lover and freezes her body, tries to dismember and dispose of it" -Times News Network. In todays world where we are becoming smarter and faster in all walks of life, where life is about giving yourself more time,when fashion and diet trends are returning to the earlier century styles! ....wonder whether our emotional intelligence is also returning to the cannibalistic ways of our hunter ancestors!!!
