My Timing Is Perfect

In every walk of life there is a tiny bit of assumption all of us make. Have we ever realized if that is has worked towards or against us? Well, assumption is some sort of perception we make before we see the actual end state. At work, I have seen making assumptions when there is a proposal towards a project plan or anything that is yet to be achieved. This is normally used to ensure there is a backup created depending on certain assumptions towards the final outcome. At economies to scale, there is lots of assumptions for the financial state of affairs and growth patterns of a country. In our personal life, we also make assumptions. Unless it is going to be for a positive approach; my suggestion to you is never assume things. Always ask. Get it clarified. There have been few very close people who have given me feedback; on how body language pass on more communication that the words by itself. Similarly, when we assume things (unless you are an Oscar award winner) I guess it shows out ...

Yes, many people come in our lives and many go.. but only some steal a place in our heart. Time heals us they say, yet I am unable to digest that it’s a year now that someone close to many of us is not around us physically. I am sure she is there next to each of us, just the way she used to be physically far yet too close to us. And blessing us with all the goodness for us and wishing that all our good wishes to come true. I do beleive that pure souls always wish us the best of best in our lives.

In a cultural and heritage driven country like ours, a woman is expected to be a virgin till her marriage. This was one of the primary reasons why in early days and in the sacred scripts the girl is given in marriage before her attaining her puberty. Every mantra uttered in hand of giving away a daughter in marriage to a man is in conjunction that the girl is as pure and yet to attain her puberty so that she is a complete virgin. That is the reason there were child marriages. Today’s wedding does not have any relevance to the manthras, except for the sapthapathi because we do not follow the rest of the given tradition of giving away the girl in marriage before her puberty. Well, so what is expected in a typical Indian family from the woman who is newly wed? She is expected to loose her virginity – of course and next she is expected to always understand and mellow down in all facets of life post her wedding in the new home. All these were possible in the then and golden olden days. So w...

Every time I take my little one out there are a list of things I ensure to carry. And the Travel kit varies depending on the travel. In case, of short distances and for a short period, say an hour or so ensure to take the following – 1. Additional clothes 2. Nappies 3. Wet wipes travel size 4. Baby cream travel size (prefer normal Vaseline helpful at all times) 5. Towel / s 6. Socks 7. Bottle of water / milk / spoon / cup 8. A flask 9. If the climate is cold – then sweater set head to toe In addition to the above list if the travel is for a long distance / longer hours – 1. Doctors contact numbers 2. Baby’s medical history file 3. Basic medicines/drops for cold/feaver/vomit 4. Bed spread with more of soft wraps to ensure sound sleep 5. Additional bottles 6. Weaning foods that are travel helpful which is more of mix with water (for instance Cerelac and incase of milk Nan/Lactogen) 7. Lots of hot water 8. More towels of various sizes 9. Clothes that will suit the travel which includes fu...

The best days of a life is I guess less than 5years in case of the female population, atleast in the society that I am living in. Have everything really changed in this fast running world? I think not, its only the comfort and luxury that is increasing and along with it complexities. We no longer live a simple life. Once the girl reaches anywhere closer to her puberty, all she is told is – you got to learn this / learn that only then can you lead a successful marital life. What is taught here – how to behave in society ( in my terms behave in a society of narrow minded set of people, else we need not be taught you see), how to cook, how to manage our traditions (well most of these are to change along with changing times except for a few which are something I believe in) blah.. blah.. blahh – else the parents will be blamed for how the girl is behaved. Why will they be blamed? I keep asking myself till a day came for me to realize – girls are not expected to have brains, and never shou...

Terrace is a place I always prefer, next to the beach. One of the reason its right where we live and its peaceful at nights. The starry and breezy nights are awesome to spend time, the time I used to spend to talk to myself. Silence used to bring so much of mental strength and a path to various achievements in my life. I have always asked myself questions – why are we on this planet? What is expected out of this life of mine? And many more on these lines. Trying to figure answers to these from within I just used to never get excited for things that many of the souls around me do. It could be a birthday – never ever had I had a enthusiasm to the heights that people around me have. How I wish I could find that place someday again to bring my running mind to a calm state and to think of what next in life. Disassociate the ME from ME to think straight. When I don’t spend time for myself I don’t feel I am connected to the ultimate supreme.

At every stage of our life we have a mentor and as humans we seek out to one. There is no age factor and all one needs to be qualified with is experience or the relevant knowledge for the same. I am proud to say that my younger sister has also been one, but it’s when she always tells me about my spellings and the uncanny communication I recollect one such mentor of my life. There were many challenges I faced at work place – one was; my superiors been compared with a shop floor entrant (me) by my super seniors, that I am sure hits their ego. She called me one day on one of the emails I had circulated to a small group internally, asked me to tell her the reason why I wrote such an email. She patiently listened to it completely and asked me to read the email loudly right on her desk that I had sent. I found that funny and at the same time curious why she wanted me to do it. On reading it I realized that what I intended did not come out on that email as clearly the way I explained to her. ...

Connectivity is the ‘in thing’ today. Telephony and a wide reach of contacts is through forms of connectivity and I guess its flourishing thanks to the feminine gender of our race. The lady talks more than a guy and i feel its true. Could it be true to the findings that women have more word triggering cells on the brain than men? May be. So, if you need to connect with any lady in your life – all you need to do is TALK. Talk and express your views and plans or anything – just talk and they will know you care.
