Do we miss ourselves in the sands of time!! I guess so!!

Its been a long time for me to pen down my thoughts.


In an era where we are paperless, i guess i am also inclined to post out here. The days were people used to pen their own thoughts and theories not authenticated is long lost.
Anything fed in the internet is searched through search engines, which only provides a path to the maximum clicked open link. Most of which may not contain proven theories.

Too much of information, however too little time spent by families together.

I miss those family times, i miss the bonding. With most of my close family members are soo clued on to gadgets reading or talking on the phone, with only physical presence around, hope someday they read this to understand life is short; make the most time available with their family. While there are good moments i still find, with less technology intervention, i still miss the family time.....

Eating together,

knowing what each of us like,

talking small interesting things,

good stories of faith,

sharing knowledge of best practices,

walking under the moon, 

sitting on the terrace having dinner or post dinner time,

Sunday special tiffin time,

board games played by all members irrespective of age- Indian pallanguzi, daiyakattai or classic scrabble,carom board etc...

Each one exhibiting their own talent, singing, dancing, talking, standup comedy.. Anything and everything, non of this was ever distracted with tv or phones or waited only for stage performances..

The family together also used to be a center stage for performances..

Learning how to get dirtty with soil and be in one with nature... Etc

I miss this and more. I sound already like a 80 year old... well a humble request to any of you reading this - do not miss the present and enjoy every moment of life.

When life becomes transactional

Image
Next moment has always been unpredictable, unfortunately till we foresee a physical demise in front of our own eyes particularly a loved one, understanding this concept is generally tough. Having said about unpredictability, today in #covid situation faced all over the world, we all are aware of the fact more clearly; what is the true meaning of unpredictability. However, I could not stop myself today but to pen this down about life turned transactional. What is the true dictionary meaning of transactional? Means a give and take or take and give. Eg, mostly it was referred only for financial reasons since you pay for a product or service and that's called a transaction. But why I am I saying life itself has become transactional? Are we buying and selling amongst our own kith and kin? The non cash transactions are flooded,  You greet me I will greet you You smile at me I will smile at you You hit me I will hit you back You gifted me so I have to gift you back You fed me so I have to

Mentor

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.

Good Morning To All From, India

Image
Early morning life is always enticing and never leaves you disappointed. My dad has always repeated himself to me thus “go early to bed and rise early”. I have never understood why he has to intervene, since early morning long hours of sleep has its own pleasure. It’s only during exams or when it is an early shift that I landed up waking before the sunrise. Its only when my first experience venturing on an outstation trip that I realized how beautiful the world around me is during the early mornings. Well! Again it’s better late than never ;) Early morning view from the terrace around 6:15am IST Pleasant is not the word that I have to describe the break of dawn; with birds chirping and the swift breeze of air on you. I had a discussion with my mom; a lengthy one on why early morning is treated as best for humans. Our discussion started right from how the mind is open in the early mornings to why there is a Suriya Namaskaram in the Hindu culture. Here is something I unders
