Contemplating……Relationships

” As  the global  environment is getting warmer

The relationships are getting colder”.

….courtesy  Mr Sunil Sharma (Bindu )

Today in conversation with someone whom I look up for guidance, told me this. And I was like in two lines he   conveyed the sad reality of  where  relationships are heading to. People take pride in posting  the  number of followers/subscribes,  as an achievement.    How many  hold their hands in person , when needed?

Wonder what happened to  old-fashioned  ways of  being there  in-person to   share the joys  or  support someone in grief. 

It is not that  everyone is the  same , but it is the general trend I am pointing to.

Daily prompt

Are you superstitious?

Sometimes yes. But not usually. 

I do believe in  cleansing,  as sometimes misplaced energies do effect us negatively. If something is reoccurring,  which I am not comfortable with, then I do reflect on .

Daily prompt

Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?

As of now I  would like to stay  As I am – Simply Human.

I may not like comparing myself, but may like to adopt few good habits of other species.

When we closely observe, there is lot to learn from other beings living around us.

Daily prompt

Where would you go on a shopping spree?

Well, I am not shopping spree kind. But now that I think of it, quiet a few places. Then these places may not exist…..

If only I could buy

A few hours of time

Gift few minutes each

To the BUSY people

Only if they promise

To use  as I wish

Call the people in periphery

(Not the crowd of faceless followers)

As no one is here for ever

Memory of last hello or goodbye

May save them from the  regret

Of  not keeping-in-touch

Leaving you with few pictures of Today’s weather. It is rare to have Rains and day like this in U.A.E,

What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain.

How are you feeling  ?

This seems like the most irrelevant question to me. People expect  to hear “I am fine/ok”

Not many are  genuinely interested to know your welfare.

Daily prompt

You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence?

Would  start  with something like this

” I may open a pandora box, nothing to do with your preception of me”

Apart from few , the rest of the people are just there, or come in our life at various stages to give us experiences. We may learn from that and move forward,  or  crib the bad times.  

People who can, should write Autobiography,  but who don’t have can get one written by a writer. Nothing fancy or  heavy.  Your furure generations would have a source to know you  better then just  a grany or great-grany.😃 

Since I wrote a book on my mother, even  the people who knew her all their life, were surprised, as they did not know  whole lot of things.

Daily prompt

What are three objects you couldn’t live without?

Anything which is not contributing to fulfilling the basic needs necessary to live  I can easily just drop off.

I believe in the phrase  “Travel light”.
