Walk of life

  A story of an Ordinary Woman. A few days back,my son accompanied me to World Anaesthesia Day celebration as I was performing a dance. After the program got over,next day on the breakfast table,he said" Papa,only few recognize Mummy." Yes. Few recognize me in the Society. Neither do I have power nor money nor have I contributed to the Society in big way for recognition. A very Ordinary Woman. Story is similar for every woman. When priority becomes Family and kids over Career and Recognition. Many opportunities are pushed back or refused ....for .... A Parent Teachers meeting, Badminton tournaments, A Stage performance, Dentist appointment or something simple as an evening in the park or a Swim or a trek or a movie or a laser show on Karnataka history.....endless priorities. Social life and Professional life had to be comprised to caring,nurturing and monitoring. Academic excellence became a past.My kids saw me more in the kitchen and taking their studies and overl...

  The String Connecting The Beads. I had a dance program. My mother stayed up all night ,wove beautiful white beads together with a string and made a necklace matching with my costume. The string tied with a knot behind my neck. The necklace enhanced my entire get-up .Beautiful shining white beads adorned my neck. After the dance,my friends flocked around me and eagerly touched the necklace to feel the beads. One of them tugged the string...... The knot wasn't strong.The string broke. All the beautiful beads fell scattered all over the floor. As long the beads were held on together by the string....the necklace adorned my neck. The string broke..... The beads simply fell apart. Relationships between siblings and extended family members is similar to the beads and the string. The parents and elders in the family are like the String which holds everyone together. Once,they are no more....the siblings and cousins grow apart and the entire family just like beads simply segr...

  Satiety and Hunger. Dr Tripti Milind Galgali Hubli. Stretch your legs according to length of your blanket. Post Independence, majority of us have been through tough childhood and compromised growing up years. Once,we start earning, major part of income is segregated on the 1st day of month towards savings- Fixed deposits, Equity and shares,Real estate,Insurance.... Means of Savings to secure our future and help us in Emmergencies. But do we " Spend" . Indians don't spend much. Savings is imbibed into us since childhood. Hunger and Satiety. We are taught to eat only when hungry.For good health,we are taught to restrict our Satiety and control our Hunger. So,in life,too Indians are educated to control their Spending. Current generation lives with intention of " YOLO" You Only Live Once. Their Hunger for Spending is more and so longer is their Bucket List.... Satiety is missing in the dictionary of their life agenda. They stretch their legs longer...

 I bought a Jasmine plant from the nursery home. Nice Fragrance.  I wanted to take good care with great enthusiasm for gardening .I read books,watched videos and discussed with common friends.  Meticulous watering, some organic manure.  A few good flowers and the plant started withering. Worried, I got some more ingredients for it's healthy growth. But alas,the poor plant deteriorated.  Every body declared it hopeless .But I didn't lose hope. I just stopped adding supplements. Only water once a week.  A few days later,small green shoots appeared and soon the plant regrew stronger. This incident is so similar to our lives . Any new environment or a new phase brings difficulties for us to cope. Over thinking and over enthusiasm is not good for healthy growth . Life comes with its own ups and downs.  Never lose hope. Always be positive.  In difficult times,just stay calm and steady.Hang on. Times will change. Newer opportunities will come.Sun ...
