Will you be my Valentine ♥

 Tomorrow is 14th February. Valentine's Day.

Day  every one professes undying love to the one close to their heart.

Past few days,whole social media and marketing media is set to show you ways to spend your pockets and your hearts 💕 and make your Valentine happy.

This 14th February.....my dear Friends.....

For a change.....

Ask your own self.......

Will you be my Valentine ♥?????

Today, surveys are being conducted to rate Happiness Quotient.

The increasing number of Unhappy people is alarming. 

Anxiety, Depression, Disgruntle, Dejection, Animosity......

Towards ourselves,our Body, our Relationships, our Work,Our Country,our Surroundings......

This is causing Mental issues, Stress related disorders like Heart problems, Diabetes,Hormonal imbalance, Obesity, Sleep disorders, Infertility, etc.

Relationships between Parent and kids,Family members, Husband and wife,Coworkers are getting broken.

We keep going to different places, trying out various ways to Inner Peace......Vipassana Centres,Yoga,Meditation, Diets,Holistic healing......Umpteen things......

But absolutely nothing seems to improve our Life.

So .......my dear Friends......

Let's fall in Love with ourselves first. 

Let's Love ourselves Unconditionally.

Just like a Mother towards her child.....

A pet showers affection to Owner...

Let us ACCEPT ourselves, our Body,our Life.....they way it is.

Let us stop Expecting absolutely nothing from ourselves. 

Sadhguru in one of his talks says....

People are unhappy when they start Comparing themselves, their Life,their relationships, kids,jobs,lifestyle, status,Position.....even their Happiness Index with others.

The day we concentrate only on ourselves, our lives,relationships, kids,life and lifestyle Only for our happiness........

The true meaning of Inner Peace will be understood .Calmness ,Tranquility, Self appreciation will be discovered by us.

To this if we add Spiritualism and Philanthropy.....

Healthy eating habits......

Healthy Lifestyle...

I think we will be our TRUE VALENTINE. 


Poem

Does the sun forget to rise? 

Does the earth forget to rotate? 

Do the flowers forget to bloom? 

Then my darling, 

how do you forget 

to love yourself? 


Our body is a divine creation 

Change cannot diminish its beauty 

People will come, people will go

Loving yourself is only but your duty


Love, in itself is a beautiful experience 

If it stood against the world in war everything else would be nothing but dust 

as compared to love 

Who can share love or sell it? 

At the end, all that matters 

is you love yourself 

and this love is immortal 

and eternal

Silent Mentors

Silent Mentors. Mentor is a person whom you look upto in life.You follow that person's life journey, get inspired and motivated to do something similar. As kids,we all were taught to dollop great leaders Mahatma Gandhiji, Subhashchandra Bose.....Spiritual leaders like Sant Ramdas,Sant Dyaneshwar( me being from Maharashtra),..... Philanthropist like Jyotiba Phule,Savitribai Phule....and Shivaji Maharaj,the Great. In recent years,the trends have changed.The Gen Z is motivated by Bill Gates,Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone. I don't intend to demean or belittle their success and hard work.....absolutely not. Times have changed.Priorities have changed with needs of the century. This blog has no intention of preaching or advocating anything or anyone. Today's blog is about simple people I have met in my life ....from childhood to today....whose simplicity towards life per se has inspired and motivated me to be a better person every day. In my previous blogs, I have wri

Prodigal Love

Prodigal Love. Parenthood is beautiful and challenging. The thoughts in this blog are my personal views.I am not an expert.Dear Friends, you may not agree to my views. When our child enters this world....as a Parent, we all want to give our kid the best of everything. We want to protect our kid from every single thing which will harm him / her. The difficulties or obstacles we faced ....the hurdles we crossed in our life journey......our Parental Love towards our kid doesn't want our kid to ever go through them ever. This Prodigal Love ...... I term it as " Prodigal "....... In Mahabharata, Dhritarashtra was blind.....a metaphor. The love for his son Duryodhan....made King Dhritarashtra turn a blind eye to all the unethical conducts especially the Dice game and Disrobing insult of Draupadi..... Duryodhan was wrong. But Prodigal Love by the" blind" King Dhritarashtra towards his son Duryodhan.....refused to correct the wrong doings his erred son commit

How much......is too much?????

  How much ....is Too much????? I happened to visit my Paediatrician friend. An IAS officer brought her 2 month baby for check up.The baby was crying while passing urine.Urine tests and culture showed no infection. The concerned Mother showed a methodically maintained book on number of times the 2 month was breastfed,pooped, burped,passed motion,flatulence..body temperature..etc etc....We were surprised by minute details noted every moment of the newborn by the apprehensive but diligent new Mom. Now we come to the part .....How much....is too much???? To maintain asepsis....the overtly careful mom.....had wiped the private parts of the baby ...each time it passed urine or motion.....with concentrated hospital Savalon antiseptic solution...... This resulted in inflammation of the baby's soft mucosa over private parts.....making every passing of urine agonizing and burning....... Today,we have Apps and gadgets....Technology and information.....which help us monitor and modify ou
