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.

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 .

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.

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,
