Am I the driver of my life?

Image
Thoughts over flow every time any life form around me, amaze me as I observe them with awe. Yes, as I sat this morning first I wondered, wow, matting season is it? Then observed with keen eye, by splashing that water into my eye. Oh good heavens, its life and death.  Well my dear readers, its a web and the flimsy legged spider was busy on her pray an ant. Ofcourse, the ant was busy rescuing her life. I am a third person here watching all this, sitting for minutes together, should I help the Ant save her life? Should I not help? Will it be fair if I help to the spider for she has given her life force to make those beautiful patterned web to have her meal?  How will I feel when I am starved to death waiting for my meal and there it comes not in just a lucky plater but after lots of hard work such as this web and someone takes my well deserved meal? How will I feel when someone is looking at me as an Ant struggling with my life to be saved but purely observatory around me? I stil...

Near Yet Far ... Far yet near

Digitization is such a wonderful means to connect with the ones far and feel the warmth of being near.  It sure is a blessing. However, not at the cost of the time with a loved one sitting right next to you. Or is that person to be treated afar rather than to be a near and dear one? Sitting next to your loved one but looking into a text.  Sitting next to your friend but watching TV. Sitting next to your child but laughing at a status post on FB. Sitting next to your guest who has entered home but listening to music! Well these are all Movie time or tv time or entertainment time, but never family time. Smiling conversation and pleasant patient responses helps bond irrespective of age. What is the rush? Which train of death are we running behind to give that rush into things that are near than the ones that are far? Near your beach, enjoy the waves.... Near your spouse, look into their eyes to have a quality conversation.. Near your child, drop everything and never stop to corre...

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...

Ever blamed anything or anyone atleast once on your life?

There have been decades of wisdom. There have decades of knowledge, that I have gained. How many have I put to use? That sure is a biggest question mark. Of all these many years of advices and the different observations of people around me, I must admit I still have the habit of blaming. People who have known me for decades together not just probably the last one decade, have known the great deal of challenges that I have faced from my childhood. All the these people would tell about how I have risen over every situation brave and stronger. Despite all these challenges that I have faced and raised much Above The Horizon, I still have had expectations like any other. When such expectations, called basics,  also called logical way of working in my dictionary, doesn't work for me, I too get into a blaming mode. Well considering I have understood this aspect very clearly atleast now, I think it is time to change every such instance into an opportunity. It sounds easy but only a ...
