Today morning I proved myself that I too can be strict (only a bit) when the situation demands. You may wonder who were at the receiving end of my free flowing surgical words for more than 5 minutes. :)
Do not assume that I gave my peace of mind to them. I don’t do such things. But I really wished I could give some peace into those teenage minds.
Well, all those youngsters who got it from me royally learnt very important lessons of life –
• Respect your commitment
• Respect your own words
• Respect others’ time
They all know now that I who pamper them at all times can be strict as well at times. They cannot get away with irregularities and insincerity with me for long though they wouldn't have meant it. :)
I think they may not need another dose for some time. Maybe I should not reawaken them again on the above lines. :)
A blog awaits on teenage minds for a long time. Hope I would find time soon. :D :D

Have I grown up?
It’s been a while since I have updated the blog.
Let me see where all my mind travels in these few minutes...
* * * * *
Atul has moved on to 9th standard this April 6. It is amusing to see him work hard for hours together on some days, all thanks to Kapil Sibal who has brought in radical changes in CBSE exam patterns. It is also amusing to realize that I have become a mother of a big boy all too sudden and this is definitely not comforting, for I am a person who is always young at heart. :D
Jokes apart, I got to catch up with him on so many issues, mood swings and matters of his interest every day. Today he came back from school like a storm after a long hard day, explained to me about the heavy workload that awaited him and then started narrating the story of Percy Jackson in all his innocence. He is cornering me to watch the movie first with him and then to read the book later. I am updated with the outline of the story already. He has assured me that the story revolves around Greek mythology and I can learn a lot from the book.
Well, well, gone are the days when I used to keep telling him to read this and that. Now it is his turn.
* * * * *
When I am alone, I am alone. No music, no unnecessary phone calls or chats. I do my (home)work quietly.
Apart from that, I read a lot – books, physical and online. I don’t know how my life would be without reading materials. I cannot imagine one. I wouldn’t die but would surely die out of boredom. :)
Earlier I used to write serious stuff but now only casual blogs like this.
* * * * *
Today I landed up reading a few of my old poems and articles while I was searching for something else. Honestly I was astonished by my erstwhile works – simple yet profound. How did I manage to think so?
Just then, a provoking thought peeked in to restart my venture again. Well, I am neither interested nor enough time at present.
* * * * *
During my evening walk today, I happened to watch a few sparrows tweeting and flying restlessly. I was bowled over by their sweetness. I also wondered about the taste of God in creating such a beautiful and tender creature. Will these beings ever know that I adore them so much from a distance?
How much time, energy, efforts and space would be required for man to re-create such a loveable being that could fly, walk, tweet, eat, see, hear etc with soft features & feathers?
I am happy to realise that I have not grown up as my feelings towards sparrows are just the same as in my childhood.
Once again, I marvel at God’s creation. I am moved and touched....

Beauty of Earth
Yesterday night watched ‘Samaia’ (Georgian dance), the culmination of The Spring of Culture 2010. The music was catchy, costumes bright, women dancers were elegant and of grace, men full of vigour with blinding swiftness, lighting dreamy, wonderful choreography – a feast to all the senses I can say. In total, the program was magical and spectacular.
As I walked out of the Cultural Hall, I realized one more time how beautiful this earth is with so many diverse cultures. I thanked God for giving me an opportunity to enjoy these art forms.
* * *
Tomorrow is Good Friday and this coming Sunday is Easter Sunday. My house help, ‘L’ is a (converted) Christian. Normally she does her work quietly. Yesterday I dragged her into the conversation, the crux of which is given below.
P : Are you planning to come for work on Easter Sunday?
L : Oh yes, Madamji. I will surely come. (Her face was one of quizzical look as to why this should be a reason for not to come)
P : How do you intend to celebrate Easter?
L : Nothing special, Madamji. I will go to Church on Friday. That’s all.
P : Are you still praying the way I told you?
(I had shown her the light channeling technique and the world’s urgent need to spread peace, light and love. I also narrated to her in brief that Light and her Jesus are one and the same. It was two months ago.)
L : Yes, Madamji. Everyday I am doing without fail. But I get time only at 11 or 11:30 in the night. Is it ok for God, Madamji?
I was very much touched by her innocence and commitment. I told her that there is no special time for prayer because all time is His time, upon hearing which she became happy.
I have told a lot of people about light channeling but many don’t take it seriously. I don’t blame them at all for there are many factors, which I am fully aware of.
But here’s one who is doing it diligently just because I’ve told her to do. In spite of her non-stop work the whole day, this poor lady is committed to her words with no tinge of selfishness. Very rare to see such a person.
God bless her! According to me, she is a great beauty walking on this earth.
* * *
Each one has some psychological sadness to cope with. When I look around, I feel so helpless. At the maximum, I can give a comforting hug or a few comforting words or become a patient listener which is very much needed at that time.
Behind the beauty and laughter, I see sadness and sarcasm. I sometimes wonder if there is any love at all in our hearts.
However, New Earth doesn’t wait for anyone. It is we who have to ascend with Love at the earliest to catch up with her beauty.
But when do we realise this?
