Happy birthday to me....






So here’s another birthday….

The day when I started my journey on this planet Gaia….

A new day and a new beginning reminding me of my purpose on this planet

As earth merrily dances “garba” around the sun….for the 38th time now since I was born!!!

From a “beta” to “didi” to “aunty” ….

Happy birthday to me…

From school to college to following my passion

Happy birthday to me…

From a daughter to a wife to a mom…

Happy birthday to me…

From being a daddy’s princess to the queen of my prince…

Happy birthday to me…..

From eating the “kheer” made by my loving mom to eating the cake made by cake shop!!!

Happy birthday to me….

From listening to songs on “chayageet” and “chitrahaar” to cassette to floppy to online music on the net…

Happy birthday to me….

From watching movies on black and white TV to sometimes color TV to a movie screen in theatres…

Happy birthday to me….

From playing in the lap of Mother Nature to playing computer games to mobile games….

Happy birthday to me….

From meeting friends on birthday

to friends calling and wishing

to messaging on WhatsApp and Facebook..

Happy birthday to me….

From living in the present to planning for tomorrow

Happy birthday to me…

From erasing the planning and getting back to living in the moment..

Happy birthday to me..

From mindful living and getting the inner child out to play as it did before

Happy birthday to me..

For the soul in me wondering…

Whether I am progressing inside out or outside in…

Flowing with the flow and witnessing the changes …..

Growing and evolving with each passing minute …..

Musing and reflecting as I enter this wonderful day feeling grateful for being here hale and hearty and living the best life that I could..till now

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

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....
