RIPPLES

Have you been stuck in the traffic?What was your reaction? What is your reaction when your maid didn't turn up or your manager gives you more work? What happens when you miss a flight or train? What do you do when milk is not delivered to you on time? How you react when you go to a restaurant for eating something specific and  it is unavailable at that time? Most of us will react in same manner.You must be cursing traffic rules, over-population, lack of  roads, random auto drivers, cab drivers, giant buses and almost everyone around you.In above all situations you will get irritated and stressed. I have pointed out very few examples. In the day- to - day life you must have faced such situation many times. If you start listing them you can write a giant book. Such problems in life will never end. But, if you want to write the answer to these problems; one sentence is enough! Its true! Yes, the secret to remain calm and happy in every situation is very short and simple....

Do you often feel cheated by your friends or colleagues? Do you feel somebody is taking advantage of your kindness? If your answer is yes, then you are the one who has managed to retain his/her innocence of childhood. In this materialistic and fake world it is very hard to remain honest and genuine by heart. Hats off to you for being an honest, kind and genuine person. But, to sustain in this world of falseness you should hide your innocence from everyone. We are living in an era of fake things and fake people. Fake rice, fake milk, fake cabbage, fake egg and fake notes and so on. The list is countless. So, probability of encounter with a fake people is quite fair. A little bit of knowledge about the subject can save you from being used or cheated. Identifying fake things is easier than judging people. When I was in school this species of fake friends were nearly zero. But, the number of fake people in my life grew exponentially as I grew. Sometimes, I feel that it is better to...

Thousands miles away sitting in the corner of our bedroom, what else can I gift you better than this. Seven years of togetherness have integrated our souls. We never spoke about our relationship publicly fearing of any evil eye. After so many ups and downs I am confident now; our bond is eternal. So, I am free from fear of losing the charm of our chemistry. In this post, I just want to pour my heart out. So, here is your gift my darling An Ode To The Love Of  My Life Days shall pass,                   Time will flow; But, deep in my heart,                    Your memories will glow; I will not say,                    I can't live without you; But a void is created,       ...

Journey which nearly made me invisible in my society is the journey from being a talkative to a silent woman. Many women of India can co-relate this story to them.Oh I forgot to mention many MARRIED WOMEN can co-relate this story to them. Thanks to our precious culture which turns all extrovert girls to introvert (sanskari ) women. The girl who won debates in her college with her knowledge, logic and wit will bend down to any illogical and unfair person just for the sake of the sanskars given by her parents. This is how this problem starts. The winning statement of almost every illogical oldies is the same " yehi sanskar deke bheja hai maa-baap ne ". I may be rude in my language but this is the fact in most of the families. You can't be right in your in-laws house ever. The girl who is appreciated for everything by her parents is criticized for everything by her parents-in-law. This journey is not very pleasant but most of us are forced for it. It is very difficult ...

Postpartum depression is very common but very less discussed topic. The woman who went through it may be unaware of it. This is not a physical problem so it is hard to be recognized. I remember those days, I wished every day to meet someone like PK(Amir Khan of PK movie) who could hold my hand, read my mind and tell me how to overcome those overwhelming thoughts. But, it was a movie character, so never came for me.                                                                                                                 I was a happy mother for everyone but deep inside I was going towards another world of darkness, pain and sufferings. Somehow, watching my daughter's toothless laugh used to bring ...

This is my first interaction with all of you. Have you thrown pebbles in stagnant water? If your answer is yes, then i am just like you. Whenever, I am frustrated or sad throwing pebbles gives calmness to my mind. In the childhood it was a fun to watch those ripples formed on the water. But, one day I was sitting and thinking about those ripples then my over-thinker mind came up with answer to my queries that why I like doing this. Those ripples can disturb the serenity of water to some extent but not forever. Just like the problems in our lives, we can be affected by those problems and can face hardships but not forever. Then I realized the most important truth of this dynamic world that nothing is permanent. Everything, everyone, and every situation will change eventually. This has become the key mantra of my life. So, I named my first blog as ripples. In this blog I will share all such ripples of my life which you can co-relate to your situation as well. I will also share how I ove...
