By the way thoughts

2020 was a tough year for each one of us. It took away a lot but gave us time. Time to realize the importance of health, family & friends apart from money. We have become more health-conscious than before. We eat right, sleep well and, exercise too. Now we are fit and healthy than before. Aren’t we? This statement is true but not true at the same time. Our understanding of being healthy is a veil of illusion. Your BMI must be perfect, reports normal but it indicates that a part of you is healthy. You must be thinking, a part of me?   Yes, a part of you.  The health of an individual is the well-being of physical and mental health. Mental health is as important as physical health. It has been proven time and again but we choose to ignore – we love the veil of illusion. Actor Sushant Singh Rajput was physically fit but mentally??? There can be a number of reasons that lead to mental illness. It could be pre-existing or otherwise. Here, the reason for illness is secondary its accept

 What’s underneath is responsible for the well-being of you and me, of every being on this planet. Home to more than 1/4 th of our planet’s biodiversity, just 3 inches of soil holds 13 quadrillion living organisms. There are more organisms in one gram of healthy soils than there are people on earth. Life beneath is the reason for life above. Soil micro-organisms are used to make almost all antibiotics that fight infections. We live, we heal, and we die and become one. Soil - home to all. Care for it now! If she can’t survive, we won’t. Keep soil alive, take action to protect soil. More info here #SoilBiodiversity #WorldSoilDay

Sad she is abused; sad she is raped, Sad she is wanted; she is gang-raped. A mother, a sister, or a daughter, Taken for granted, her self-esteem slaughtered. What can she do, where will she go, Helpless and shameful she will have to let go. Deep is the pain, deeper is the agony, Breaking news is flashed, what a tragedy. She is just being her, problem is your mindset, Change your thoughts, her world will reset. She needs no support, she needs no empowerment, With respect, you treat her, at least make an ATTEMPT.

  I sit by a quite stream on a nice evening; Steady breeze and birds chirping. I breathe the air, so light and fresh; My doubts and worries come to a rest. I see clear - sky's reflection; I feel the love and your affection. I close my eyes, I drop a tear; In you oh stream my pain disappears. I sit by a quiet stream on a nice evening; As the sun sets, I make a new beginning.                                                                     - I M Dalvi Image courtesy pixabay.com

Yes! I am making a bold statement. It’s not easy. During the lockdown, when the world was suffering, nations prepared to face the catastrophe and mankind fought against the invisible, lethal enemy, we at individual-level got an opportunity. An opportunity to extend help, an opportunity to introspect, an opportunity to redefine our lives, an opportunity to weigh the importance of tangible Vs intangibles, an opportunity to improvise, an opportunity to confess. Well, on one of those days of mass suffering, I was preparing evening tea. The cyclonic wind made its way through the window, to the burning stove, and hit me before quickly disappearing. I continued with preparing tea. Added one, two, three, four, five, six teaspoons of sugar.  The sixth teaspoon screamed at me, “You are a cheater”.  During the pandemic, health has become a primary concern to me and I am sure to you too. I am aware that sugar adversely affects our immune system. So, I was added the right numb

    Every morning while I sip tea, I watch the birds fly. Birds – black, white, brown, blue & green spread their wings to glide from one end to another, occasionally flapping their wings & maneuvering. In the evening they return to their nest in flocks as the sun is about to set. Birds – small & big, they fly. A source of inspiration and fascination.   'Let’s Fly in the Open Sky'   Let’s fly like a bird as per our capacities. Let’s not be afraid of heights & falls. Let’s comprehend that some migrate and rest reside. Let’s sing the music of life. Let’s flock together. Let’s fly in the open sky.
