Flying Tidings

Image
Chirping sparrows always brought me good tidings that tell me some change is ahead in my life. Whenever I watch and enjoy listening to the chirping sparrows at the terrace garden of my neighbor, I could not avoid feeling jealous at those little winged angels that taught love and compassion to those humans that lived along with them. One day a female sparrow accompanied by a male sparrow flew to our balcony inspecting the new hole that her love chose to be their nest. Every day they visited inspecting the hole.  But the female sparrow rejected that place as not suitable to start their family.  Those tiny sparrows are a pair of lovely couple that chirp constantly their love to each other.  The tall mobile towers may be a threat to their lives. It is sad to note that this powerful development in information technology has turned to be a threat to those love harbingers.  The concrete houses that are built with marbles and other luxuries, hardly have a small space for t

Etched in heat waves

Image
It has been a while, we are all reeling under the heat waves of sun rays. Ultimately, we are the sole reason for this heat wave that smother every one.  Not only the humans, the birds, animals and the small insects that live on trees, trees and plants, both small and big feel the power of hot sun rays. I don't know if it is the bad karma of the earthlings that we are paying back for all the wrong doings of our immediate forefathers.  Ancestors feared nature and so they respected nature. Nature allowed their lives to be pleasant and happy. Now, I have a question.  We have realized that it is now our duty to leave this world a better place for our future generation.  Are we on the right track to do that? Though we all experience the bad effects of global warming that has spread throughout all countries in the globe, how long will that exist?

#AtoZ Reflections for 2018

Image
Reflections - Many colors of a Rainbow Initially when I decided to take up this challenge, I listed the topics that I will be writing every day.  But things turned tough for me as I could not find time to organize my ideas.  I had to manage household chores, help my daughter in her university exams, and  tight schedules at work. I had to snatch time during my lunch at work and complete the day's assignment. Usually, I always spare some time to read relevant content on the topic.  Unfortunately I could not spare much time to do my research.  I have to use the clues from the suggested topics for the letter of the day. Though I am not satisfied with whatever I have posted,  I could write something everyday without missing a day. This has triggered my silent muse to write, write, write and write.  Though I could not spare time to read all the posted blogs and check all the links in the Master list, I randomly read blogs every day; never forget to post my comments.  I felt

Y is for You Made My Day

Image
In our lives, we would have met so many people.  Only, a very few leave their impressions with us that constantly cherish our days whenever we feel low. This is a tribute to those people who helped me to realize my skills and be confident.  Thanks for being with me at a point of time when I needed support to be stable both mentally and physically. You made me accept life as it is and move forward.

X is for X-moments

Image
In our life there are moments that could not be shared with anyone but have them buried deep inside our heart - invisible to everyone around us. Just like x+y=xy, happy and unhappy moments in the process of growing up into an adult, help us to build our personality. If you have added happy moments, you grow into a healthy individual who is confident, happy, and strong at mind. If you have added unhappy moments, you grow into an individual who lacks confidence, unhappy and weak at heart. If you are lucky to go through both happy and unhappy moments, in equal shares, in your life, that will help you to be a person with a better personality who knows to manage all situations in life. Still, there are delicate moments, an individual has to face on a day. These delicate moments may shatter their minds, smash their confidence level, and make them suspect everyone around them. Pertaining to the news that circulate in the media at present, children are not safe at levels. Th

W is for Walking Daily

Image
Is it not true we get old with the every ticking second? No one could deny this fact that we grow old every day. Yet there is something undeniable - we can present ourselves young and healthy. Once my daughter wondered at my choice of sarees and replied curtly that I must look like her mom and not like a grand-ma. Though one’s appearance may be deceptive, still the world looks at people who brighten the space with their presence and win everyone’s appreciation. When I compare how I looked two decades ago, and how I look now there is a vast difference. Certainly, there are some rules I followed that lifted my confidence and made me look graceful. Even though the world acclaims people for their knowledge and word power, still your appearance counts more. Healthy diet is the important key that can help you look young and healthy. Fresh vegetables, fruits and nuts must be there as a major part of your diet. Taking carrot juice every day helps you to have a sh
