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!!!

Triggers....

A new day, a new week and a very good health.... what else can I ask for? Yayyyyyy........................feeling blessed!! Somewhere I read a statement, can’t remember the words exactly but what it meant was If it was your last day on this planet, would you be doing what you are doing right now? (Yes, yes because I love to express and I am doing that ...bang on!!) And if you know it is your last day on this planet, what would you regret not doing?(Oh!! I love to dance....I need to dance every day...just express myself through words and dance....) Another statement that came across (you know I believe in signs completely) is “How will you make your life better than what it is now? What are the things that need to change in your life now?” After a lovely night of recharging, I awaken.... while still choosing to get up after another five minutes, the recorder of my mind starts with the same questions... If it was your last day on this planet, would you...

Grieving.... or learning and growing ???

As I start writing these lines, I can listen to the wind gushing and the leaves rustling, sometimes scaring me and sometimes nourishing my soul. It is a very wet day today and there is water logging everywhere and also Ganpati Visarjan. These days take me back to the times when I and my sister were very little. My dad didn’t work on the days that there was Visarjan. I was hardly 10 years old and my sister barely 5. There we were near the beach at Seven Bunglows shivering to the wind that was slapping us while the rain lashed us till we were drenched along with mom and dad. And these memories keep coming back. Seeing one ganpati after the other, ready for Visarjan. I used to be mesmerized by the artist’s ability to carve such a beautiful form that the eyes of Ganpati would speak. I still remember those days when my dad also took me on his cycle’s back seat. Oh!!! How much I miss (no I think I remember) those days. There is this emotional pain which I fe...

Kojagiri Poornima...moonlight party!!

Fashion changes every day...and so does the moon!! When I was little, there was this “Banjara” dress which was in fashion. My parents bought this white and red “Banjara” dress which had a red “Ghagra” and white blouse to it. It had a lot of mirror work on it. This used to be my favorite outfit when I was little -around 10 years old!!! I used to carry the chunari on my head and keep spinning watching my “ghagra” move with me.... And then there was a night of celebrations- “the moonlight party”. My friends and elder friends (we were the “chillar” party) were told that we will have a potluck party. Then, we will play Antakshari, dumb charades and also share jokes. It sounded like a lot of fun to me and I pleaded with my mom that she allows me to go to this party. This party was to be held under the moonlight in the big courtyard that the houses collectively had. We were planning to stay awake till 12 and then have the nectar “the Amrit”. I told my mom about the “the Amrit” and a...
