After effects of Diwali....







After effects of Diwali---
Okay, so here is an interesting dialogue inside me.
Somewhat funny but equally serious

Brain- (calmly) Oh, Diwali is coming. Reena, you need to be careful not to over-eat like how you do always when you go for a vacation and especially when it is Diwali. And then you are always down with food-poisoning!!!
Sensible Reena (very coolly)- Oh!! Don’t worry, I am a balanced person and I never indulge in over-eating.
Brain (mix of pride and suspicion) - Great!! Stay on your word
Mom-in-law (excited)- So here are the amazing things that I have made. Keeping it on your dining table. Eat well and happy Diwali...
Impulsive Reena (really excited) Oh my God....Oh my God... can’t wait to eat the yummy chakli, besan laddoo, and the poha chiwda. God bless my mom in law... oh there are shankarpallis also.... yum ....yum...
Brain (somewhat angry)- Reena, are you forgetting something...?????
Nose (very excited)- Reena the smell of the chakli is too good ya.. why not check one?
Tongue- I will be more than happy....
Impulsive Reena (really impulsive now)- ok, so let me start with chakli and then the chiwda. Let me get the bowl and the spoon and switch on the Tv and how about some hot tea?? Lets put a cushion behind the back and relish each bite.
Brain (angrily)- Reena, you have already had your tea ...
Stomach(angrily):- You know what I don’t need anything now and I can give you enough energy till night. If I need something, I will blow my whistle or the alarm.
Nose(ignoring stomach)- Reena, the smell is really yummy.
Tongue(ignoring everything and fully focussed on food)- Arey, I got to taste only the chiwda, where are the shankarpalli’s?
Impulsive Reena- Ok here you go with everything and the hot tea is here too...
Stomach (really angrily now)- Reena, don’t give so much work ok, I need a break too...
Sensible Reena- (very serious) – you don't need all this Reena. Can you give something healthy and nutritious to your stomach?
Brain- yes, I also function well and more efficiently when I get those nutritious juices and I bathe in them.
Impulsive Reena :-(greedily eats all the contents from all the boxes). Let me call my husband. (She dials the number)- Hey Mandar, Diwali faral is here. Your mom sent it. It is awesome.
Stomach (enraged)- Reena, can you just stop. I am more than full. My efficiency is going down. Can you please sit up straight? With your round back, I am a “C” with a dent in between. Can you please sit up and stop stuffing me. It's enough. I don’t need so much.
Brain (now sluggish)- I really don't feel like working. I need to take rest now and shut down for a few hours.

SCENE CHANGES----
Reena is at her sister's house
Sister- Reena, I made the karanji, ladddoo and the chiwda.
Nose- oh, same things again.
Stomach (little scared now)- If you stuff me again, I am warning you that I will go on strike this time.
Brain (angry)- Reena, you don’t need that stuff now.
Sister in Reena- Oh!! But my sister has made it with so much of love. I should taste it.
Impulsive Reena- Sister, the karanji is awesome and the shankar pallis too.
Mother Reena- Son, don't eat all this junk. It's not good for your stomach.
Stomach (taunting)- Reena, it's not good for me too. You are worried about your son’s stomach, husband’s stomach, mom’s stomach and what about me? How can you be so selfish?
Sensible Reena (very confidently)- You know what I am not going to stuff you with all the junk henceforth.

Sister calls ...
Sister- Can you please help me to cut these cashews and sort the dry fruits?
Tongue- the cashews look so fresh, I would like to taste them. Even the raisins look yummy...
Stomach (fed up)- Reena, enough is enough. Its lunch time soon and then you will feed me with the lunch too.
Sensible Reena (very calm and overconfident)- Food is to live. You do not live to eat. Can you skip your lunch? You are already too full!!!
Sister- We have dum aloo and puri for lunch.
Tongue (ignoring everything)- I really really want to taste them.
Impulsive Reena- (Eats 4 puris and the entire bowl of dum aloo)

The stomach is on strike and stopped giving signs of hunger.
It has got confused and started beating like the heart.

Reena- (angrily) Can you stop giving me cramps? They pain
Stomach- (angrily) Can you give me a break for 2 days. I will digest only liquids now....

Learning lessons of life from the little ones...

I have been witnessing amazing experiences since the last one week. One parent came to me and she was really unhappy that her son is having behavior problems. The child (8-year-old) had a diagnosis of Autism and communicates by using just a few words. You know what I have this amazing sense to feel people by their energies. When a family enters my consultation room, sometimes I feel pins all over my body and I know that the family is really really stressed. And then there are others who visit me, who are passing through the same experience as the others but they carry with them a blanket of peace and calm and I am also sucked into it. There are others who come who comb my “being” with vibrations of deep insights revealing strong, intense and raw truths about life. So, I love to nurture this sense in me and love to sense people and their energies. So, when the door opens, my energy antennae start sensing – is it heavy, light or sorted or confused or just...

Miss you daddy....

Dearest daddy, Wishing you many happy returns of the day... Again another birthday when you are physically not present with us. Every year, I tell myself that you are happy wherever you are.  I also tell myself that you are watching us and blessing us and happy for us.  All of this seems good to listen to and that is all. Maybe I am trying to fool myself by saying all of this. All this logic is not accepted by my heart... It is shunned away... The truth is- there is an abyss.... the special place in my heart is empty... Daddy, you are missed when we are happy... Daddy, you are missed when we are sad... Daddy, you are missed when I achieve something... Daddy, you are missed when I make your name proud... Daddy, you are missed when I see a dad interacting with her daughter... Daddy, you are missed every single day... Daddy, you are missed every single moment when I feel grateful... Daddy, you are missed every single moment when I feel blessed... Daddy, you are missed by every c...

Standing up for myself....

You know what since childhood, I was taught praise in front of everyone and give feedback only in person secretly. And I follow on to this very strictly. There was another thing that was taught and that was to respect the elders and the relatives. But before that respect yourself first. Do not let anyone disrespect you. And again I follow that in my life. Sometimes, when elders give you feedback in front of people when you are not at fault, it hurts. But then what to do in such a situation? Some elders do it because when they talk, they are not mindful of the power of their words which are like sharp arrows and they pierce straight into the heart. And ouch...it hurts... In such a situation, do you stand up and protect your self-respect or allow them to disrespect you in front of many others. One such situation happened and I was in a conflict whether to stand up for myself or to respect the other person. If I stand up for myself, then I am disrespecting the other person....
