We often think of different gift ideas so that we can please or pleasantly surprise our loved ones or friends. But in today's world we can buy expensive gifts and comforts but have no time to spend with them. Our loved ones specially our old parents need only one thing that is some time to spend with you. This Christmas i thought over many gift ideas and finally decided that besides those usual material gifts, let me also spend quality time with my family and friends and sometime offcourse with myself too. I found this approach very relaxing and indeed was a perfect gift to my mother, who longed for my company. No office rush, relaxed mind and body, no frustration, no anger bouts just plain sweet me. My mother was happy and so was my sister. I also spend sometime with the children's home girls, they were happy and saw the most sweetest smiles and lively twinkling eyes. I always wanted to do this but could not manage it somehow. This year was different...i felt i lived every m...

The most joyful and happy moments are those spent with your family. Today was a day just made for it. Managed work as well as did a lot at home which was amazing. Now at the end of day I feel the day went good and it was fulfiling. Except for one or two tense moments the day was good. Its said that humans are social animals and they cannot live alone. That is so very true. We work hard, at times sacrifice for our loved ones and still feel so contented and happy. Everyone should take out time to spend some time with family, whether its family dinner or just chatting with a cup of tea, but it should be a regular practise. This would ensure your mental health and well being. We see so much increase in incidents of suicides, mental illness, depression and all is because people don't live a good family life.  Family is a God's gift, it could be made of some orphans staying together as family or friends being there for each other as family or your biological family. A family is spec...

Time, its the most important part of your life. It involves moments,seconds,minutes,hours,days,years,decades,lifetime. We cannot remain in childhood forever, niether can youth stay on, nor old age...there is an eventual end. But very few people understand and accept the value of time in their life, those who do are winners rest prove as losers. They might be very nice, clever, intelligent but if time is not valued they end up losing big things or even themselves. Its a hard fact that till date no human has mastered time management. But an honest and sincere attempt must be done. I have seen so many people suffer but not speak up as they are shy or fear something and fail to act at the right time. They then eventually lose in the long run. We need to be strong and ready to face situations rather than wasting time hesitating and suffering.Time waits for no man or tide, it goes on. If we walk along with time we can get success even if there are multiple hurdles in our path. So keep mov...

Since the age of three, every year I and my sister used to write letter to Santa. Keep under our pillow, tie stockings near our bed. Then on Christmas morning, i used to get the gift I asked on my pillow and my stockings full of chocolates. We used to get delighted and teased, fought with everyone who said nobody is Santa, its just a myth. Till I was thirteen this continued, then once I caught my Dad putting chocolates and mummy keeping the gift. I was shocked, i cried that all these years my mom and dad fooled me and i kept on believing that Santa came and gave those gifts. My parents were sad with what happened, then from my school library i read the story of Nicholas, an old man who was a miser first and then when was old started buying gifts for children. He started enjoying this kind gesture, people who earlier hated him started feeling happy to see him, esspecially small children. They say, after his death also, Nicholas came and gave gifts to children. All my anger vanished ...

Today's day was tough, its one of the days where somethings you wanted to happen and something you wish did not happen. I lost three of my pet fishes, they died in the tank and my mother alone could not do anything to save them. I got tied up in office and had to sit back late for a client call. The call was good but it was at the cost of my cute little pets. I realised my mistake but late that i had sprayed pesticide in the house and i think that toxic air got mixed with the tank water, though it was covered. I alone try to manage all things and usually manage it well but today i failed. I wish i had someone to share the load but you can't get anything beyond what destiny has planned for you. I will miss my cuties, their dance when i gave them food. Though i am trying to be tough, don't know how but my heart always melts all toughness and rolls down as tears.

Sometimes its a day when you sulk for reasons unknown...whether something is missing or is there an overdose of something? Don't know! To add to it its a bad day at work. Ohh! This day was no less than a nightmare. Now I am thinking why was I sulking and found nothing...then too this feeling so strong and it spoiled my mood for the entire day. Human mind is so complex and so difficult to understand. Today is friday, beginning of weekend. Usually i am delighted every friday but today i am least bothered niether planning for weekend menu, which is my favourite task.Hope tomorrow morning will show something good and give me a reason to smile.  I m missing my smile...missing me.

Everyone wants to talk about good clothes, food and merriment and pleasures. But very few choose to speak about some deadly truths around us. One of the deadly truths is Cancer. Its a mystery disease how one's own body parts starts behaving abnormally and slowly degenerate and die. There are many causes stated like regular use of tobacco products, getting over exposed to radiations whether its emited by mobile towers, microwaves or any other radiation source. But the main concern is the pain this disease brings. I have some friends whose family members are affected by this disease, the incidents they shared were shocking. I learnt that chemotherapy is given to little advanced cases and it has mutiple side effects. After a chemotherapy session, the patient has intense burning sensation in the body, loss of appetite, depression, suicidal tendencies,vomitting. Listening to all this sent a shiver through my spine. Most patients loose their hair on head, there might be dark spots on bo...

Father is said to be the man of the house. But for me he is the life of the house and mother is the lifeline of the house. I feel blessed to have the best dad in the universe. He was the only person who could fool me so easily with his quiet smile and make me forget that i was annoyed or angry. Life was so carefree when he was there by my side, felt i was the strongest person in the world. He taught me to be strong and yet not show off your strength. Be humble and honest but never get exploited or exploit anyone. I wonder if all others were so lucky as me to have the best dad.Though he is not there i can feel i am made of him. So he still lives.

Whole day goes off without realising how fast time has passed by. Now at the end of the day you think over all that happened throughout the day. Some light moments with friends and some harsh and demanding moments at work. At home you sit relaxed but remember that a whole list of tasks is still pending. You somehow feel guilty but then you are too tired from your hectic day. So now push them to the next day. Again a busy day is in store for you.

We celebrate festivals, birthdays, anniversaries and achievements. You invite friends and relatives to share the joy with you. But when you are sad you just want to be alone. Lost in your own thoughts, gloomy and carefree. We don't celebrate, we just meditate when we are sad. We ask ourselves many questions and also try to answer all by ourselves. We do all this till our mental stamina permits and then we get tired...feel sleepy and slowly slip into a deep sleep. Negative thoughts are tiring and they drain your energy, if we continue this then surely we fall sick. Sadness and tension can only bring sickness in future. Mind is very much connected to the body and even deeper to the soul. Finally after that great slumber, you awake and suddenly feel refreshed and full of life. You decide to give yourself a chance to be happy and cheerful again. Those who cannot manage this transformation, get stuck in their grief forever and they themselves lock their happiness forever. So yes sadnes...

God your mercy is boundless. Your Blessings are priceless. You bestow your grace on each one of us. Thank you for your love which is endless.

If a question is asked which is the most active organ of your body?people might have multiple answers. But the right answer would be your heart. From the first beat you were born and on its last beat you are dead. Heart also resembles an ocean. Its an ocean full of emotions, feelings,passion,secrets. Heart has the mix of all these. Oceans of secrets you store. Still you are always ready for more. Those you don't like never find your door. But those you love could be found in every drop of blood that pore. My little Heart you are the ocean which has no shore.

People strive to be perfect, look perfect, work perfect and keep on looking for perfect happiness. But I think Imperfections are beautiful, they help you to be unique. Nature has trees, flowers, mountains, are they of perfect shape and colour? No they are not,have you observed the rose petals...each one has its own shape and a beautiful blend of colour which makes it perfectly imperfect. But rose is one of the most beautiful flowers...its imperfections has made it unique and beautiful. We are imperfect but still our family loves and cares for us. Friends respect you and love you with all your imperfections.I feel Love is imperfect. Perfections has bounds but imperfections have no bounds they are endless and so is Love.Imperfections are beautiful...they help you find true love.

Seasons, it brings to mind summer,winter,autumn,rains.But don't we have seasons in life too? We have the lucky season,where without much hardwork all success and pleasures are ours.Then there is the difficult season wherein we cry,lose things,have hardships but no success,ulgy arguments, all life seems in a mess. Then we have the jovial season wherein we have so many reasons to laugh and smile, even in difficult times you actually manage a few giggles here and there. Then we have the lazy season where we just want a corner to sit and relax. Then again the success season....difficult season...jovial season and the lazy one follows. These are seasons of life, they come and go, none of them stays forever but definately each season moulds our life further.

How often have you felt that someone who is not related to you but still is very much like you. May be looks might be different but same hobbies, passionate about same things,thinking, nature all same. Its really amazing to discover such person who is same like you. But then i think how does it happen? Why God made a person somewhere far off but same like you. Does God create the same pattern after specific intervals or there is some other reason. Don't know but still it makes you feel happy.

Experiences in life are our best teachers. I always learnt many things through experiences...both good and bitter ones. I learnt that money and power are the motives or game changers, people can take multiple disguises just for earning more money or getting power in hand. But however people behave with thir hidden motives its always good that wins over bad. God is there and he makes his presence felt by sending help in some or the other form. 

There is a first time for everything even for blogging. Feels good to write your thoughts and then view them later. Thought of beginning writing with a parable story....story of a true friend Jesus...once a man fought with jesus..you say , i m your shepherd and will save his sheep from all dangers. But now when i see footprints...i can 2 pair of footprints in good times but only 1 pair of footprints in bad times. Why did you leave me alone when i needed you the most. Jesus smiled and said i was with you throughout. The pair of foot prints in bad times are mine...as i was holding you on my shoulders. The man cried and said you are the true shepherd and i m your sheep.
