Life is A THALI

 Life is a Thali.


Life is that big Thali.....

Family is the main ingredient- Rice Dal/ Roti Sabzi......

Must for energy....

Needed for strength.....

To drive us,move us,lift us.......

Friends are like Pickle.....or Chutney.....

To spice our life.....to add zeal in our life....

No Thali is complete if you don't have Pickles and Chutneys......

A sweet dish is like Good moments of Life...

Coming occasionally.....

Always the surprise in our Thali......

Either savor it before or leave it at the end.....it tastes divine...and leave beautiful memories ever.......

Colleagues and Acquaintances are the fried savories in the Thali.....the costlier the Thali.....the more the Fried Savories......

A Thali always has a bitter preparation added to it.....

The bitter preparation kicks the taste buds to salivate and improve digestion......

In life.....our bad moments are the bitter preparation......they trigger us to perform better.......

Childhood is that salt.....with lemon.....

Children and Grandchildren are like the Pan .......

Life comes to a full circle.....when we savor each item of the Thali......and burp loudly with satisfaction......

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
