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

Are you superstitious?
Sometimes yes. But not usually.Â
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?

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.
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. Â
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.😃Â
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.

What experiences in life helped you grow the most?
“Time is the reminder
 Life is the master

Growing ANEW
With every Experience “
Daily prompt
Describe a phase in life that was difficult to say goodbye to.
Each phase of life has its own charm. There is downside also. Looking back, I enjoyed and have Memories of good and not so good times. But then life just goes on, not in our control. It is not like going to school or college that we have to say goodbyes. As we get older the priorities change and we adapt to the changes.
Life is a river
Constantly flowing
There are no footholds
To stay little longer
Each phase merge into other
And We just move on

If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why?
There are quiet a few if i make a list, but BUSY would top the list.
In the current times, the conversation usually start with ” I HAVE BEEN BUSY. “As if the earth will vanish if you are not there. The moment it comes up in conversation, I feel like putting the phone down or walking away. Nobody in this world is so busy that you can not call upon friends and family once in a while. It is surprising that when they need something then they have all the time in the world.Â
People disconnect your call in between the conversation, which used to be RUDE once upon a time and then next time they want something opening line is ” I am so SORRY, couldn’t call you afterwards, as I got so BUSY”
As people are getting more busy, the world is becoming more toxic.
Strike this word from your life for few days and you may experience the gift called LIFE.
The ocean called life                 You are a drop                             When you are gone                     Who would know the loss ?       Only a few                                   Do not make that list shorter       Being BUSY.     |                                                                             Â
