Life............... Oh so light and fragile

Remember to tell the people whom you love that you love them. You never know if you’ll have another chance…hmmm. This thought came to me when my friend who lost her mother spoke to me about how her mother so wanted to meet her brother who lived far away and breathed her last a few hours before her brother could fly back home.






Each time there is a death I hear of, for me it’s a time to reflect on myself, life and what happens around me. Death is a reality; nobody can run from it, it actually is a reflection on how well one lived their life. Death they say completes what the birth cycle starts.

Every time I hear of death it reaffirms how temporary we are on the face of earth yet how much of self importance we have for ourselves. We build along with our material possessions a massive Ego and we center everything on ourselves only to leave it all behind to enter something unknown. To some it looks scary but to me it’s as natural as the breath we take.
With these thoughts in my mind I come to a conclusion that

Life a fragile thread a fragile thread life just seems
Candle light that can flicker away, A long drawn reality of dreams, Any gust of wind can make it sway.
Who knows what lies in tomorrow for that we haven’t got vision to see
A blend of joys & many a sorrow isn’t that what life is meant to be?
When dark moments begin to torment to something called hope, desperation clings Gathering memories of few happy moments
Before for the last time, life’s bell rings. Between the first cry and the last sigh
Moments filled with joy, some full of strife. Some moments low, some moments high
Struggling through what we call our life.Here you are today but tomorrow you never know for fate has so many surprises.Many tough lessons that life would throw
Each day so different, so many sunrises…
So live in the here and now, the present unraveling the puzzle of life’s mysteryAccepting most, finding less to resent before you leave & blend into history.

Just a reminder to myself…make the most of what I have, to love with all my heart…to live with all my breaths …to give with every tiny fiber of my being. Maybe then I would have lived a life that was completely alive.

First Wedding Anniversary

It has been a year now, yes it is our first wedding anniversary, I feel time just passed at the blink of an eye…. Since it was our first anniversary there was a joyous feeling within me and though I did not have any great ideas for the day, something within me kept me lively…

Sharp at 12in the night I got a call from my brother wishing me which added to my already happy mood, spoke with him for some time and later came to my husband who was waiting to wish me, he gave me a big hug and wished me and told me how blessed he is to have me as is wife, with a little smile on his face, though I meant everything word by word as my husband told, I couldn’t say anything as my heart was filled with lot of joy and happiness. My cute little nephew rahul had sent a beautiful e-card, more than the card I liked his love towards me and my husband in sending the card and taking his time to do all the cute things for us. That was very special for me, getting a wish from a sweet little boy. The day of our anniversary we went to temple to seek god’s blessings and on the way came home with a delicious cake in our hand, in the short time we were chatting with our mom by the law and cute little rahul, well time always flies when we are with our loved ones and the same thing happened that day aswell. Very soon our home was filled with the footsteps of our relatives, it was just a splendid moment when we cut the cake amidst their presence and also posed as usual best and worst for the photos.

Noon was awesome as we all had been to a Rajasthani hotel, oh I just loved the recipes and delicacies they served there, every recipe was different and unique and was lip smacking…  we all had a hearty meal and enjoyed every bit of the meal and also the time which we got everyone. Our relatives came home and we all had a happy time in chit chatting and soon it was time for them to bid us farewell.

That night myself and my hubby darling went to have Chinese stuff for our dinner, oh I loved the ambience of the hotel, it was an ideal place for a romantic dinner, away from all the noise, and we were treated like prince and princess, the night ended as we both went home by walk, and the cool wind and the beautiful moon was accompanying us till we reached home. What a wonderful day we both had on our anniversary………..

I wish and pray god that I celebrate many anniversaries in my life with my hubby darling…………

Always love you sweetheart and thank you for making our special more special with your presence, talks, smiles and above all your never ending love

‘A happy marriage is a new beginning of life, a new starting point for happiness and usefulness.’

Time to learn

It has been a while since I wrote, well I was excited about diwali, no not for the sake of crackers, this time I was going on to meet my family and celebrate first diwali after my marriage with them……. Any festival is fun when you celebrate it with near and dear ones, isn’t it??

I had a great time visiting relatives and talking about many things, but was in my mind for a long time was not just the time spent with family, but the 3 little boys who were looking at me while I was bursting crackers, well I understood that they wanted the crackers, so without hesitating I gave away few of the crackers to them….  These guys I am sure must have been not more than 6 years, the moment they held the crackers in their hands I could see their faces lit up like a million stars. I could not believe that half an hour had elapsed already admiring their innocence that it seemed a very short duration.

I was waiting to see these little ones burst the crackers, instead they met with other set of boys, probably of their age and shared the crackers with them, as they were empty handed……… It was a wonderful sight to see all these tiny ones bursting crackers together and in harmony.... Again I gave crackers to the little ones who were initially standing and looking at me, to my surprise this time they shared the crackers with other group of guys and thanked me wholeheartedly and gave me a toffee which ofcourse I could not refuse………

These tiny ones waved good bye to me and left the place with their million dollar smiles on the faces…. As they were moving farther away from me, I was still standing at my gate, draped in my silk saree and looking at them…. These kids had silently taught me the art of giving and sharing, not only during diwali, but every festival becomes meaningful when you learn to share and everyday starts and ends with a peaceful feel…………….

They could have burst all the crackers themselves, instead both the times they shared it with others and also acknowledged me by thanking me and a toffee for me………….. This was yet another thing which I learnt to thank people who help me and acknowledge them…………..

“Learn everything you can, anytime you can, from anyone you can - there will always come a time when you will be grateful you did.”
