LIFE IS A FULL CIRCLE

 

   

The talk of Time Machine and Theory of Relativity is for the likes of Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein. As far as I am concerned I only look back in my photographic albums to travel back rather than forwards.


As I conveyed my anniversary greetings to my cousin today I reflected back nearly two decades ago. My children got very excited to travel by train for her wedding. The moment they boarded the train and reached the compartment just near the door all hell broke loose. They discovered that the compartment just had three berths and even a sliding door so it turned out that they had a room to themselves with bunk beds and to top it all the room was chilled.


The baby boys imitated the monkeys as they sprang from berth to berth, laughing and playing all games. Soon the journey was over and the sultry weather in Delhi drained them.


The return journey by Shatabdi was equally memorable for them. The meals on wheels was just beyond their baby minds. The juices, tea and breakfast served made them think of the train as a moving restaurant.


One of my friends later enquired me of the train in which food was served for no money. She conveyed to me that my son held her in disbelief when she tried to convince him that 'papa must have paid for it in the ticket'.


Today, the same question sprang up in my mind when my son booked my flight ticket from his credit card reward points to which he jokingly replied "Meri mamma nothing is for free." Life has come a full circle indeed.

    चेहरे पर मुस्कान तैर गई जब देर रात अकेले बैठ कर इस ब्लॉग को पढ़ा। सारी यादें एक मूवी की तरह दिल दिमाग मे घूम उठी। क्या शानदार दिन थे वो। धन्यवाद अच्छी यादें याद कराने के लिऐ।

COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY FOR BETTER COMMUNICATION

As a new entrant to the content creation market, I was relentlessly searching for jobs in writing. It was an aha moment. I was selected to write a test assignment, a video script that was for one of the well-known educators in the online world.  My script had to bring out the essence of effective communication. I brainstormed for ideas. And since it was my first experience, I was falling short in everything.  I whipped up all my resources and Googled, scoffing at the idea of writing a video script on communication for a master communicator. It was not an easy task. Nevertheless, I tried and came up with a story that remains close to my heart for being the first of its kind. Prompted by the twists in Chinese whisper, I co-related it with the modern generation. Here goes the story that you can smile about or empathise with. A couple decided to meet at 10.00 the next day for coffee. The boy reached the coffee shop the next morning, but the girl did not. He waited and ...

WHATSAPP FORWARDS

"You will not read any of my WhatsApp messages and so it is useless to send you anything.” My mother said to me. I acknowledged her by my silence mentally reciting," I read all that you sent to me". So, here I am busy reading all about Indian spices and medicinal herbs used as daily household ingredients, thereby indulging in more studies on naturopathy as compared to any other ‘pathy’ which has side effects. I speed dialled my mother when my patient refused to undergo the procedure of scaling to clean her teeth in favour of 'alum', or "phitkari," a desi nuskha. No wonder patients shirk away from scaling. I ruminate. "I just called you up to confirm if you WhatsApped something to my patient "I vented. Ever since, I have been scrolling through all her erstwhile messages to know more about natural healthier medicaments, their benefits and roles in dentistry and health. Oh! WhatsApp was not there when I was a student. No wonder, my gold ...

The Truth About The Paradox Of Life

Salads were the newest additions to our menu list as starters. It owes its origins to friends we visit often like a second home. The mundane sprouts could be part of creative jewellery with pomegranates and cheese cubes that had never occurred to me till I saw them beautifully and colourfully occupying the centre table. The rainbow salad on a different occasion was also mesmerising. The presentation and the warmth with which they served added to the taste as much as to the refreshing memories. As I uncovered the lid of the container on my kitchen slab, I observed that the moth beans had sprouted, and rootlets were visible. I could eat them as much as I could plant them. I decided to plant a few and serve the remaining for breakfast. They lay embedded in the soil with air, water and food in plenty. After a few days, I observed most had not survived. They had turned black and lay on the verge of extinction in that darkness. The paradox of plenty providing in excess is not good. The para...
