The special thing called Love...


Love is Everywhere...


When I think about Love being a major part of my Life...I can say it's been a real healer for all my pains, low phases and worries...And of-course, the happiness quotient in me is all because of the Love that surrounds me...


Previously, my thoughts about Love was that, one needs to wait for the special person in one's Life, to get the Love of Life. But...off-late I have realised that people who love you are actually, the special persons in your Life. 


Love it is; when someone very special as a mother, comes up to you and asks" Why are you sad?" , though, you never utter a word about your feelings...


Love it is; when someone very special as a father, shed silent tears seeing you achieving things...


Love it is; when someone very special as a brother, cares and motivates you to achieve your goals, lending his support assuring you that he'll be there for you forever, no matter what...


Love it is; when when someone very special as an extended family, fills your Life with more confidence and happiness, to live Life to the fullest...


Love it is; when someone very special as a childhood friend, stays beside you and visits you often, during your worst health days...


Love it is; when someone very special as college friends, never hesitant in talking to you normally during your BAD-HAIR days...


Love it is; when someone very special as an unseen friend, visits a holy shrine and prays for your success and calls to tell you, " I've prayed for you, Everything's going to be fine"... 


Love it is; when someone very special as a trustworthy friend, who has been supporting you, immensely, day in and day out...


Love it is; when someone very special as a stranger turned family-like...who has been praying for you everyday, though, thousands of miles away from you...

Love it is; when someone very special as a 3 a.m. friend who never feels bad to listen to your tearful pains and stories...


Love it is; when someone very special as a best buddy, who is ready to take off from work to be with you, during your low days...


Love it is; when someone very special as a friend, who fills your inbox, each day with messages, though you respond only to a few...


Love it is; when someone very special as a loving friend, who is thousands of miles away, waits for you everyday to come online to share the laughter and smiles...


Love it is; when someone very special as a close friend, who wakes up at 1 a.m. in the morning to offer special prayers to GOD, for your good health and happiness...

Love it is; when someone very special as friends as we call them, responds to your calls, messages , mails and forwards too...


Love it is; when someone very special as my school kids, who are all always excited to see me enter the class in the morning, each day...


Love it is; when someone very special as my tution kids, who organises a surprise party on my Birthday...


Love it is; when someone very special as ME, feel good seeing myself, mature over the years...


Love it is; when something very special as LIFE itself, which gives you challenges each day, just to say, " You will come out of this as a WINNER!" ...


Feel the LOVE around you in any form, and be thankful to LIFE... 'coz a LIFE without LOVE is like a body without a soul!...


Keep Loving !


Love,

Kids - Angels, they are indeed!!!


When I started my stint as a teacher in the professional arena, 2 years back; I never imagined my LIFE would change drastically over the days...


A few days back, when I was interacting with my 25 kids ( Oh well!... for those of you who don't know about them, they are my lovely students of IV grade in school!), I noticed that one of the kid who is usually a happy chap, was all sad faced.


I went upto him, took him aside and just told him, " Consider me as your friend, and it's okay with me if you would like to share things about the thing which is disturbing you. 
And indeed he opened up; shed a few tears in the beginning and told me about the rough phase he had at home, the previous night.


I did advise him a bit on how things can be perceived and gave him a warm hug and after I got back the smile on his face, brought him inside the class. I addressed the children to assure him all Love as friends forever...:)
We bonded yet again!!!


A few minutes into the class, another kid got up and raised his hand to ask a question...I thought it would be study-related...but it wasn't about the concept I was teaching...His mind was thinking a lot on what had happened, a few minutes before...





He asked me a very simple question, " Do you love us? ". I said " Yes, I Do" . 
" Why do you love us? You are not our mother? "...For the first time, I was blank and didn't know what to answer...the very next second...I had a girl answering for me and it indeed, rushed my heart with more Love for my innocent kids...


Her answer was, " She's our School Mother...that's why she loves us a lot!" . This was a very emotional moment for me; tried controlling my tears and went upto her, and this time... I asked for a hug from her...:-)...I felt really happy and so blessed and Thanked Life for giving me such wonderful loving ANGELS around me...




I realized then that, the more you give Love, the more you get it back...may be not from the same person but YES! indeed you get it back!!!


So Keep spreading LOVE! :)

Divine Miracles!!!

Six years back when I fell sick, we as a family completely lost hopes and faith in GOD...But little did we know that the lost hope and faith would be a temporary one because we were completely blind folded by a major loss in the family, their little girls' health. I, personally didn't believe in Divine Miracles 'coz I never came across one until then...may be not one, everyday one!!!

When I interact with people, I sometimes tend to relate topics to this year or situation in my mind, subconsciously. It may sound crazy! but YES! This is what made me transform my LIFE...my THINKING, my APPROACH towards anything in Life. Though a traumatic one...it made me believe in myself, Love myself and Be myself.

And hence, the first blog is dedicated to my Health and its positive effects on my Life.

Over the years, I followed the voice within me, and I started getting better each day. I did get the negative feelings surpassing the positive ones...but somewhere deep in my heart I knew I would be alright someday. 

3 years back, the challenges popped up in a gigantic manner...with surgeries, doctors and Operation theaters (OT) being like LIFE itself...but this is when the Miracles started like pouring in day after day...

I had this deep fear in my heart of not getting back to normalcy...I struggled each day, prayed more and wanted big miracles to happen...but looking back down the memory lane...little did I realize then that each day was a miracle waiting for me to just wake up and say " WOW! I could do this today!!!

Bending down to pick things from floor, cutting my toe nails, wearing my socks and shoes, cleaning and brushing my hair, walking for even for few minutes were some of the major day to day challenges, I faced....
But every single day was a better one than the previous day and I could feel the improvements in me, gradually....

Today, when I look back and introspect as to what really made me improve myself...other than family and friends' support...It was this Divine intervention secretly boosting my energy levels which we, as a family had set aside for awhile during the initial sad days.

And I call this Divine intervention in my Life as MIRACLES!!!
