The power of a song.




Just can’t take off the tune from my head…The voice so haunting...in a good way… the words of Tagore seals the heart and uplifts a sense of self power...self pride.

Shreya’s voice has the ability to mesmerise spirits….
I am just a simple soul…. I feel so alive.  


Reason enough to live life





After a long uninterrupted night sleep, my mornings have to be peaceful,
Soft music or maybe no music at all, a glimpse of the green blissful nature, inhaling its breath,
feeling uplifted in spirit, and awakening wide-eyed on a sip of hot tea..... The best way to start a day.
Well! That was my once upon a time story.


The awakening now happens quite suddenly, regardless of the night hour, with a loud cry that literally springs me out of your cozy slumber.

Who ! What ! Where ! ...  I'm like a dumbstruck doo doo bird, looking around to find what happened to my brethren, Am I the last one on earth.... Oh yes !  If I were a doo doo bird I would have already been extinct ...but God damn it ..I am a mother for crying out loud....and a mother of two....

It comes with the package !!

Just need to read the instructions well before opening !! ...

Well, I did sign the agreement before plunging in !!  ....

Lets save the humour for another day but how ruthless can I be to have such thoughts and try to find an escape root.
All Moms' face this.... mine did...so face it!!

Going to bed at 2, some times 3 in the night, dragging myself up at 6 in the morning….and not keeping a track of the countless times of these jolts of sudden awakening in-between..... Am not complaining, but that's exactly how my day starts.

Am whining like a baby ... I am..!!  Well, what else do you expect of me….where have all my sleepy days gone!!...

Urrg !! The silence screams out loud within me and then I gulp it down with a sip of hot tea …. Well, barely hot by now …

I guess all children have this special quality of sensing an urgency of "mummy need", exactly at the moment when mummy needs her time.
I can now safely say “been there, done that”.
Ask my mother if I realized my chores even when at the 14th year of my life.....she will laugh and tell you that I am still a kid.

But with all of this, there is still a peaceful and blissful pleasure, a soulful joy ... maybe indescribable....and so unlike any materialistic fancy, that brings warmth to the heart..... The joy of being a mother.

Like it’s said that a mother’s job is never finished, brings me to a quote I truly reckon with -" Motherhood is my career. I'm totally satisfied with that. "- Ann Romney.

Dedicated to my Babies – Anushka and Aankush….. My reason to live life…and live it to the fullest....I love you my munchkins.

This is the first time I prepare my mind to write my thoughts through a blog and the only inspiration of words that come to me are that of Life.

Looking at the mirror, a clear image of myself, staring at me, in a state of cognition, asking ... Who are YOU?

Life is you, your strength, your knowledge, your thoughts, your courage, your space, your abilities, everything that makes you unique and gives you the reason to belief in yourself, believe in life.

Someone said "The Beauty of living life is in living it King Size" ......however my notion is that the term" king size" is an understatement. It generalizes a figure, a measurement, a restriction of space....

Life is much more, a lot that has been lived and a lot more to explore..... It’s seamless, the bounders of which are never possibly reached even if one has reached his highest level of achievement or experienced the fullest of his existence.....  Life is still so far away from the ending, there is no finishing line, and even if death comes closer to life and embraces it, the living stops but life doesn't.

Treat life like a celebration…. everyday.… a never to cease celebration.
Inhale every essence of your existence no matter in what spirit you are. 
The roller-coaster that we are so eager or rather so excitingly scared to take in an amusement park , is what we  actually are in, with such ease, in our daily live.
Down-slides are inevitable, but the up-slides are YOU.

Who said everything has to be perfect......you may fail, you may fall, you may be late, you may be lost, you may feel that thing are just not going right, you may lose hope, faith and belief in yourself , in God ........ 
BUT WHY ME?  You ask......
Do you get an immediate response from whom so ever you beg for the answer !!! 
There will be no husky voice bursting out of the heavens with a revelation.

Done that, been there..... 
Yeah! It’s that easy to casually pass on an experience……. how easily we escape the obvious....
So much is lost in not appreciation and experiencing an experience, a moment, a time...... it is all about living eventually, for yourself, your loved ones, your friends.

Take it easy, don't haste, stop and smell the grass.... very simply said, but who has the time!! You don’t!!
In fact Time has YOU.

Time gives you a chance to take it easy.
Time gives you a chance to stop and smell the grass....... Use it.

Come to think of it, what am I looking for when I notice myself, noticing me.... soul searching?? Or plain flaw finding as results of ageing? ....trust me, for both reasons I will request time to be on my side and go slow.  

I hope this makes a simple reading experience.... and just a thought before it ends...
