Add life to your days and not days to your life. The statement might sound simple at first only to realise how profound it is, on a second thought. Adding life to days, each day, come what may? Really? The fact is it isn’t that surreal or impossible; each one of us has been there, gone through, the best and the worst. As we grow up (& old), become wiser than yesterday, accept more responsibilities and perform higher duties, adding life to days becomes difficult. Remember those carefree days, when we were in school laughing at silly jokes, playing pranks, actually laughing out loud (yes lol), being punished; yet we were adding life to our days with ease. I distinctly remember my school days and more importantly my 74 classmates and my friends – my partners in crime. “I and a few of my friends had an appetite of an elephant, we just couldn’t wait for the break ( or in retrospect, I guess we loved distractions). We would eat snacks from our tiffin and from friend’s tiffin during

Probably your actions are miniscule, they barely harm the environment – use of single-use plastic, wastage of some water, adding junk to landfills or vehicular emissions.

No Less Than A Miracle

Have you ever had a job where you had no experience, no training, you weren’t allowed to quit and lives were at stake? No? Welcome to Motherhood! We are too busy to realize that life doesn’t come with a manual, it comes with a mother. On Mother’s Day let’s find out what’s her tale…. within the walls of a home, facing new challenges, learning each day, gaining hands-on experience, and experimenting in new ways. Pacing fast or dead slow she relentlessly works at her new goals. Her deep desire is to perfect all three – her kids, herself, and her home. Her mind is always busy, her eyes vigilant, her heart full of emotions but she tries to strike a perfect balance. She is the life changer every single day, it doesn’t matter whether she is perfect, because she is the best each day. She doesn’t need experience nor training; she is a gift to the world and the reason for us being.

She is

A beauty of its kind, Varied and wonderful at the same time. Known but unknown to us, Her mysteries yet to unearth. Do not disrespect her, Let’s restore her. Extremely special she is, Mother Earth to me and you, she is.

Someone Special

Someone special brings a smile to my face, tears in my eyes, fills my heart with joy and casts away my fears. Sounds like a dream? Sweet 16 talk? Or a scene from a romantic movie. Whatever, the case be, you want to experience such kind of moments again and again. A perfect moment. Far beyond our expectations, while we are too busy in our lives, working hard towards creating moments, craft happiness, life goes on. People come; people go. Isn't it? Some people become a part of our happy times and few a reason for those moments. How often do we appreciate their presence? How often are we thankful? How often do we reciprocate? How often do we remember them? A special person can be our parents, sibling, teacher, mentor, friend, co-worker or an unknown person, at some point in time they were there for us. They created special moments for us. It may not have been the same as in novels or movies, that doesn't mean they didn't exist. The problem is that our thoughts are influenced
