life is like a swimming pool. u r thrown into it. u have to learn to swim on ur own. and u r not allowed to drown.

cant take the pressures of motherhood and household anymore.

Im so lucky to provide food to my kids when they ask for it. Can never thank enough for this.....

Denial mode

It hurts when people whom u hold close to your heart, become rude. But then the mistake lies with in us, we start expecting too much, even when we know what the reality is. Living in denial mode is so wrong.

Death does not favour the fortunate ones.

My maid told me how children of her relatives died due to negligence of their parents and the MCD. one fell in the gutter and was found 3 days later. one elder boy fell in the huge drain while running after a kite.

and then i realised that doesn't favour the fortunate ones either. The plane crash just depicts that. money or no money, luxury or poverty. No one can escape the cruel hands of death.

Children of the world

In this world:

the softest thing is : your child's hands.

the most painful thing is : when your child cries.

the most helpless feeling : when your child wants something and you can't give it to them, for their own good.

the most peaceful moment is : when your child is sleeping peacefully.

the most joyful moment is : when your child wakes up smiling.

the most happy moment is : when your child learns to do a new thing.

the most saddest moment is : when u regret scolding your child.

Children are the gifts of God. The purest and the most innocent being on the earth.

Teens, 20's, 30's and.................. the 40;s?

When we are teenagers we feel the whole world is against us. We want to do so much , but are not allowed. A lot of awkwardness, and embarrassment surrounds us. In the 20's , we feel that we know everything now, we have learnt it all. We are particular about how we dress, how we keep our house, how we serve.And when we are in the 30's, we feel that there is an altogether different meaning to life. Things are not really how they seem to be. There are many layers. some of the things become simpler , while the simple things become complicated. But some kind of wisdom dawns upon us. Whats going to happen in the 40's.......no clue. huge mystery.

life's moving fast!

Life is passing zip, zap. zoom. Things of the past seem like yesterday. And we are getting old, may be not in the mind! but physically yes! And its bloody scary.

who is to judge?

There are times when one realises that time is passing by so quickly, and we feel that we have not done enough for ourselves and for others. when we look around ourselves we find that people have progressed. and we seem to be stagnated in some areas of our lives. But then who decides who is successful and who is not? Should we judge ourselves, because we know ourselves the best, or Should we let others judge us, or not get judged at all?

Should we feel sorry for the time we wasted on frivolous activities, or just see them as times from which we have also learnt something , no matter how small.

what will happen later?

i wonder sometimes, if we suddenly go away from this world someday, who is going to manage our blogs. infactwhat will happen to all our mails and accounts. strange! :)

why do we change?

Sometimes its difficult to understand self. things that we always believe we wouldnt do, we end up doing exactly that. it gets difficult to stop urself. brings in a lot of guilt, and probably shame. and one wonders what happened to all the principles we always believed in?

Apparently true stories from British Hospitals !

A man dashes into the A&E dept. and yells . . . 'My wife's going to have her baby in the taxi'.

I grabbed my stuff, rushed out to the taxi, lifted the lady's dress and began to take off her underwear.

Suddenly after protests from the lady I noticed that there were several taxis - - - and I was in the wrong one.

At the beginning of my shift, I placed a stethoscope on an elderly and slightly deaf female patient's anterior chest wall.

'Big breaths,'.  I instructed.

'Yes, they used to be,'. . . replied the patient.

During a patient's two week follow-up appointment, he told me that he was having trouble with one of his medications. .

'Which one ?'. . ... I asked.

'The patch; the Nurse told me to put on a new one every six hours and now I'm running out of places to put it!'

I had him quickly undress and discovered what I hoped I wouldn't see. Yes, the man had over fifty patches on his body!

Now, the instructions includes removal of the old patch before applying a new one.

A nurse was on duty in the A&E when a young woman with purple hair styled into a punk rocker Mohawk, sporting a variety of tattoos,

and wearing strange clothing, entered . . .

It was quickly determined that the patient had acute appendicitis, so she was scheduled for an immediate operation..

When she was completely disrobed on the operating table, the staff noticed that her pubic hair had been dyed green,

and above it there was a tattoo that read . . .'Keep off the grass'

Once the surgery was completed, the surgeon wrote a short note on the patient's dressing, which read

'Sorry . . . had to mow the lawn.'

An interesting quote

A few days ago i was surfing the channels on the T.V., and something caught my attention on discovery channel. i couldnt figure out wrote the following quotation, "Everybody brings happiness in life. Some by coming and some by leaving".
How profound and true it is. i just coulnot stop smiling after i read it. This quote is going to stay with me for a long long time.

when a mother turns a killer.

it happened a few days ago that my daughter inikia was about to have a bath, when suddenly i saw a creature like an earthworm. i immediately squashed it without a second thought in my head. i was so amazed at this reaction of mine. im a firm believer of not hurting any animal, bird or insect, ofcourse if here is no reason. but it is the mothers instinct which makes all the difference.

Where there is a will...

there is a way!

Why were we taught good things then?

A friend of mine migrated from a distant village in India to New Delhi few years back. It took him quite some time to "adjust" to the city and its lifestyle. He wrote to me recently:

"If we can make money and become influential by telling lies and doing immoral things, why did our parents teach us to speak the truth and do what is right?"

Worthy of a huge international, perhaps universal discussion.

Though he doesn't know much about "Bush" as yet.

everybody has a story

everybody has a story in their lives.whether its a man walking on the street, or a man flying a plane, a man cutting wood, or a man working on a computer.we all have a story in our life which makes us what we are today. Our attitude , our behaviour is due to what has happened to us in the past. i believe a person behaves in a certain way becoz of what he has experienced. We see people all around who are anxious, over confident, scared, happy, funny, sad, quiet, over talkitive, rude. Im reminded of a man who used had his own show on tv. He used to pick up the directory , open any page, and put his hand in any number, and call that person , and then finally make a doucumentry on him. He believed that every one has a past and a story to it. so next time u see a stranger, remember that he too has something in his life which u dont know and u dont have.
