By the way thoughts

 A couple of days ago my mother was remembering her mother. She shared a number of instances bringing alive the era of the early 90s. Back then the number of siblings was never less than two. In some cases, they would be in double digits. More than nine kids around? A word best describes the scene at home – Chaos. Or complete chaos? Imagine the youngest crying for food and eldest pleading for sound sleep. The relation of the eldest with the youngest. The varied activities of every child - one crawling or trying to walk, another in school and the eldest preparing for higher studies. The early 90s as a parent seems mind-boggling. Though the culture of joint family prevailed it seems there was never an end to raising kids. As in the case of my grandparents, they had eight children, yes eight! By the time their youngest became a toddler the eldest became a parent. Which was then followed by the rest of their children. My grandmom after raising her kids raised her grandchildren. Back

You Love Her When She is Like a Setting Sun - Calm & Beautiful.  Forgetting the light she brings during the day, Forgetting that her absence is nothing but darkness.... No matter what, She will rise again. She is like a pawn, you don't realise who she is until she moves six steps ahead. She says nothing when she wants to say everything She Needs a hero so she became one She is some magic, some chaos, and a bit of poetry She gives the cold wing chills She remembered who she was and the game changed. She's an old soul with young eyes, a vintage heart, and a beautiful mind

 If you avoid the conflict to keep the peace, you start a war inside your HEAD! Everyone has a chapter they don't read out Loud Isn't it funny how day-by-day nothing changes, but when you look back everything is different? I am aware, I am unique Sometimes you gotta remember, everyone wasn't raised like you. No one can see what you see. Even if they see it too. Happiness is not the absence of problems, it's the ability to deal with them. The key to sucess is to start before you are ready Life is a matter of choice, and every choice you make Makes You Most disagreements are caused by the different perceptions that created different realities. What we see depends mainly on what we look for. Not all storms come to disrupt your life, some come to clear your path. If you are going through hell, keep going why would you stop in hell? Don't lose your present to your past. Don't worry about what I am doing, worry about why you are worried about what I am doing. Why fit

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
