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.

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.

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”.

“Time is the  reminder

  Life is the master

  Every phase a guide

I am a basket

Filled with flavors

Growing ANEW

With every Experience “

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

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. 

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.      |                                                                              

Do not get bored with myself.  It is not necessary to  do something all the time. The notion that one gets bored stems from  the attestation span deficit.   As long as we enjoy  what we are doing, will never get bored.   

I do get bored, when people keep repeating the same topic, especially weather and food

“Like time people come and go what lasts are the Memories. “

For me , apart from MYSELF, I have a very short list of people  who are on my favorite list.   I can spend hours in their company talking about random to the most philosophical thoughts.   

Deep connections beyond expectations is what it takes to have a beautiful relationship.  Favoritism may be situational depending on your needs, but lasting  relationships are   independent  of need, time or distance.

        “Just their  thought  

            Brings smile

         On my rainy day

        A song  triggers  the trail

         Refreshing the time spent

             In that moment

        I  feel them beside me

         Those are the favorites

   Who laughed & cried w.ith me”

I am not a shoe enthusiast,  but over the years  had  few which I bought because it looked good when I tried on, but later didn’t wear much because they were either  too tight  or loose.

Today’s prompt brought back those moments of excitement  for me. Still this habit of buying  shoes which may not be comfortable, continues.  I bought 3 recently😃, and wear only 1 of them .

My excitement is because I have shoe size 35, and do not get much variety.

  But I  definitely love my  Nike

which takes me to my evening walks  daily
