Who was your most influential teacher? Why?

All the teachers play a big role in our developing years. There have been many  who influenced  me. But one I remember  still is my hindi teacher in grade 8 in school.  Her name was Mrs. Sethi.  She was an excellent person and I respect her. But the reason I remember  her is that she changed my name.  My nickname was Dolly and that was  registered in school also.    While sending the names to high school (9th grade)  she changed  it to Namrata.  She did not ask my mom or me, those were the days  of  good old friendship types. 

Afterwards she told  us that Dolly is a very casual kind of name and doesn’t look good on the  formal documents.  She was  right I think.  This reminds me of  the times when  family and friends were genuinely concerned  for you. 

TODAY- you misspell your own child’s name and imagine…….. Changing name shouldn’ even cross your mind

Where is “There?”

Very well expressed the sentiment of  like minded people like me.

Are we there yet? Where is “there?” Do we know where our “there” is? When we were little we heard people tell our parents, “What a little man!” “What a pretty girl.” Nice strangers asked us, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”  Perhaps on a subconscious level we start at an […]

What was the best compliment you’ve received?

Very recently someone told me that you have blessing hands.  I love  doing reiki healings . And  this means a lot to me.

In the times we are living in, if we can help others in a very small way also, it gives immense satisfaction.

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.

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.

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.
