Wishing and hoping are my two favourite words.

Wishing and Hoping are the two most beautiful words which means so much to so many different people. In my little world these two words are always floating around me. There is no day which passes by where I have not wished or hoped for something better.

There is a lot of suffering in this world. So many people are struggling to feed their families, to build a new house after a tornedo wiped off their old one, to get on with their lives when a near one meets with an accident or gets affected by a major disease. Still people get on with their lives. They show so much courage and resilience in the face of adversity. I bow down to all such people. I want to tell all the people who are affected that they are not alone. I want to tell people who are about to quit, that please dont quit as this may be the last leap they may have to take. I want to tell people who are depressed, that they are stronger than they think they are and that they will come out of it sooner than they think."We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope." - Martin Luther King Jr.

Nothing is far out of reach. You just give up in the semi finals and lose out on the chance to win the finals. Wishing and hoping have so much power in them that they can transform the difficulties and hurdles into miracles and success. When you fall - Get up, shake off, hold on. Dont lose hope. Keep wishing, keep hoping. And you will get the power to move on.

"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence". - Helen Keller.

Dad flying to London, made history!

My dad is aviophobic and so when he reached London, I heaved a sigh of relief. My parents were visiting my kid brother who is put up in London since last four years. He had been asking them to visit him since he shifted there. However it always felt on dads deaf ears. My dad has become a little bit socially awkward since past couple of years. He wasn't always like that though. I mean yes, he never liked to travel a lot. His definition of travel meant a twenty minutes ride to my place to meet his granddaughters. Apart from these visits he makes a couple of rounds to the doctors office and once in a blue moon visits his relatives and friends after a lot of pestering from mum. My mum likes to travel a lot. She is ever so excited about exploring new places. So this time around too dad had made it very clear that as he is scared of flying he wont join mum on her visit to London. My mother had to remind him that British Airways will be taking care of the flying part and all he h...

If you would like to be generous please go full throttle.

My dad has always taught me to be generous without hesitation. When I was younger, I never understood what he meant by that. All I saw was my mum and dad working hard to make a good life and helping people in need without thinking twice and without any hesitation. All the relatives and friends never used to think twice when they were in trouble as they knew all they had to do was - ask, and my parents would be there for them, sometimes giving a cash favour and on more occasions being there in person and giving their time and energy to help and just be there in other peoples moment of difficulty. The enthusiasm which they had was unmatched. He always told me that you never give away things which you no longer need. That's not the way to give. That is not being generous. It's just discarding all those things you no longer need. He then used to encourage me to give things which I was still using and were good to give. The things which are not good to be used by you are n...

The marvellous Granny.

Grandmothers are special. Especially to their grandkids. Grandkids love and worship their grannies and the grannies adore their grandkids to the moon and back. What if I tell you I know one such granny who adores not only her grandchild but adores other kids too. She is very loving and generous and an amazing cook. She is always so eager to help others and is in fine fettle. At her age, I doubt If we will be able stand on two feet and walk, let alone running errands. I remember when we were young our granny would go to great extents to fulfill our demands. However small or big it would be, she would make sure we got atleast something, which was close to what we asked for. In those days, almost over three decades back, money and food weren't abundant like it is in today's day and time. Most people used to scavenge for things which could be reused. My gran was such a towering figure, not in terms of physique but in terms of substance. She was an amazing woman and stood h...
