IT IS JUST "LABOR OF LOVE" FOR PARENTS

B I R T H D A Y S, to my mind, are best celebrated with those who have brought you to this world; your parents.

They think the world of you and the occasion has great significance for them. I say this from personal experience; I feel the world when it comes to the birthdays of my children. And the chain continues...

I remember my parents this day with gratitude for all their love, care and the hard work in bringing me up and making me what I am. I owe my whole existence to them.

On my birthday, today, I bow my head in reverence and gratitude to the memory of my parents.

Weeks passed, I returned home from work one day, to some commotion at my building. An elderly lady had passed away. Neighbors paid condolences and the cremation took place after 2 days. Their children came from abroa...

Life - we see it all around us,buzzing, moving, and still.   Happiness and sadness both exist at the same time. This reminds me of the basic principle of accounting - For every credit there is an equal debit.  Happiness, sadness is it real, fake, perception or plain mirage? What we all perceive is with respect to. That one is more happy than me. That one has more wealth than me. That one is more lucky than me.  What does it mean? It means that we ignore our happiness and create sadness for ourselves. We are making ourselves a prisoner of our own thoughts. Is it necessary or has it become the only reason of our existence? The spirit is free and totally devoid of expectations.  Aren't we free prisoners?

MAN O MAN

-
 The MAN – a creature on the face of this earth capable of thinking, having feelings, and emotions. As society evolved so did the MAN. Blessed with a powerful physical ability vis a vis woman. The expectations and roles of the man too evolved and the bar raised every passing day. A male child once he descends is fitted with templates. * Be a man. * Don’t cry like a woman. * You are the torchbearer of the family. And many more. The layers of artificial attributes keep on adding every day. But sadly the man is never allowed to display the real him. Tears, intense emotions are a strict NO. MAN O MAN
