Chasing Happiness.

The chase never stops. It never ends. If chasing your dreams is what gives you happiness, then by all means you should do that. Happiness comes with a cost. It means different things to different people at different times. You have to decide at what extremes you can go to reach it.

If everything is happening the way you want it to, then you probably are in the wrong lane. Many times when things suddenly fall in place and you get everything you want you wonder if you are in wonderland. The debilitating feeling of losing everything grips us and we start panicking.

Why it happens is a thing to unfurl. Life's mysteries are easy to solve only if we attempt to understand them. Sometimes you feel like you are being suffocated. There is no one you can turn to. People see the happy face and are quick to judge, not knowing what the person has gone through or going through to reach the place he/ she is in today.

You feel like you are all alone. There is noone who understands you. Noone who cares. And that's the way life is. Remember this is also a phase which has to pass. Be patient. Dont lose yourself. Dont let anybody break your spirit. Be strong in this tornedo, take shelter in your own arms. You dont know how strong you are until your back's up against the wall.

The most docile person when left with no choice but being strong will also cross mountains and succeed. Go no further than yourself. You are the most reliable person, the most resilient one and the most dependable person. So seek help from noone else but you. See how the situation brings out the best in you, how it makes you stronger than before. That which doesnt kill you makes you stronger is a time tested quote.

For a split second if you think you will lose everything you have earned, you become anxious. And that's human nature. Anxiety and nervousness are also important to feel how rich the taste of success and happiness is.

The fear is essential and once you overcome it then there is no stopping you. Only the fear of fear is what will get you panicky, which will hold you from going ahead. If we learn how to wrestle it then we will be one step closer to our dreams. Go unleash your dreams, chase happiness. And a good time to start is - NOW.

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...

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...

Now I know why my parents never attended my PTMs

People who have kids will agree with me when I say they are the only ones who can put you in your place without offending you. I have two such brats in my house whose only joy comes from making me eat my words. My elder one is like my dad, always on time and punctual. She likes to be well in time. Which isnt a bad thing. Except on weekends. I feel Saturday and Sundays are sacred and should be reserved for relaxing and enjoying as everyone have had a hectic week and will most likely be having another after these two most sought after days. I personally like to sleep a wee bit more on weekends. Why would the schools deliberately spoil that joy for us by scheduling such early parent-teacher meetings(PTM) on Saturdays. My daughters slot for the meeting is around 8 am. The school is around 4km from our house. So you calculate how early that is for a sleep deprived mother of two kids. Till last week the school had arranged all the big days in a queue. The kids Annual Day, the sports...
