When Almighty Desires!

Ever wondered what makes you? What's your summary? Your own failures, your own success, your own glory, your own downfall and everything else that makes you the whole of you, the sum of you? You will not, only be the bright spots but also the unbright spots, the dark blotches that are in you on yourself and you can't have them removed until you are re-born again? Maybe that's what makes you whole for now. But there is something else that makes you, your acknowledgment to a ditch you are in since the time you have become responsible for your own actions.  Yes, that ditch is called 'Me'. Once you learn the art to crawl out of it. Maybe, that day you will find the actual sum of who you are!  Meanwhile, try to give yourself a 2 minutes break/time-out every now and then. Try to re-focus your agendas and re-navigate your paths. Keep yourself aligned to the demands of your life. Keep living, but don't forget you are still in a ditch and keep trying to crawl out of it, ...

Our eyes are our windows to (our) souls. Whatever we see for about 99.99% convinces our mind. Our whole self and character is based on how we "see" that something. And then we adapt ourselves to it. In human relations, after reading a lot of "literature" on how we behave and why we behave? I have come to this understanding that "Look" is the new "listen". And the skill to "listen" has actually been lost!  Many a times we don't want to understand something that is being said, but how we "see" it literally. Reason being, how we carry our attitude is reflective of our self and how we perceive things around us. Similarly, the same goes for that other person.  For instance, a person says he is sick, or not doing well, suffered some financial losses or maybe undergoing some medical procedures! What he said doesn't matter because when we feel sad after hearing his plight and meet him, we actually look at him, his hints and cu...

The Light and The Rainbow Bridge Many of my pets like kittens, adult cats and puppies have died and were buried by my papa in our nearest grave yard! Sometimes papa will bring an ailing bird which either got hurt due to some misfortune or became a road kill and put its body with each feather intact in a shoe box and bury it. He would give them a proper funeral and never leave them to rot or decompose in a trash. He was extremely kind with those who passed away specially the mute birds and animals.  *** Papa after coming off from ventilator on 19th April, 2020 were declared to have Bulbar Palsy and left lung failure. He was loosing his ability to breathe. He was suggested Tracheostomy because his Bulbar Palsy (throat paralysis in simple words) was causing issues with expelling CO2 from his lungs. So it became mandatory to put him on life support (Mechanical Ventilation) for his remaining time.  Since papa didn't have a voice and became mute before his tracheostomy was done, he ...

To the infinity and beyond, When Earth revolved in its season gradually, dancing and prancing on its daily rhythms, a weird virus brought the world on a stand still.  Words like Lockdown, shutdown, social distancing, 6 feet apart, sanitizers and hand washing became fresh vocabulary in our day to day life.  Never could have imagined that a new word will be added to my personal vocabulary and that would critical care, ventilator and intensive care of my ailing father from acute bronchitis and pneumonia. Few more words became added as each day progressed without any progress in his condition like hallucinations and psychotic pain and severe anxieties.  Yes, all of these words apart from coronavirus are being hummed by me regularly because my papa, who is 73, is right now admitted in intensive care in a local hospital in New Delhi, India, where the whole country is on an extended shut down due to severe coronavirus cases! In a time when exposing oneself to virus can turn fa...
