Thank you!!!

Separation was destined in 2 days and 13^th May 2010 it was. It had been months ignoring the known separation; yet trying to be positive for the miracle as people say it could change fate.

As I entered the ICU chamber in hospital, I didn't dare to look at other patients. I went straight to her bed and looked at her eyes. There was smile in both of our faces as if saying (and accepting) good bye. Her eyes were moist, tender and blank visualizing the unknown yet trying to be in the present. That moment of silence was very satisfying. Presence speaks more than words and I realized it that moment.

It was going to be the last moment in both of our lives that she would recognize me and talk to me. I had brought her some water in a bottle hiding from doctors because they wouldn't let her drink anything from past many days. I had her drink it slowly from bottle’s cap helping with my hands. My heart exploded with gratitude when I saw contentment in her eyes. I don’t know if she drunk anything after that day. That feeling still resides in my heart and I wish I never forget it.

I told her that she would be alright very soon but she knew I was lying and she smiled. She explained, there are few events destined in life and nobody can change it, not even God. Dashrath would never have died if everything was in Ram’s control. I was so amazed looking at the wisdom she carried even at her death-bed. She tried to press my hand by her weak palm to feel it and asked me to take care of myself and the family; especially for my father as I am the eldest son. She had always been my pillar and I was stunned and grounded that moment. I consider myself fortunate to hug her, kiss her forehead and saying the words, "you are best mom in the world".

There was a moment of silence after which she looked outside of window and said "it is so sunny and beautiful outside". She was in hospital for almost 3 months and hadn't seen outside from a long time. Her eyes conveyed to me she was yearning to go outside and feel the warmth of sun on her face and thank nature for the little things. I silently looked outside and it was indeed beautiful out there. I could hardly imagine what that sunlight would mean to someone who is about to die next day. I was silent and my heart could only say: Thank you.

I wish God give us all a last chance to feel the joy of small little things nature has provided us and to be able to say thank-you to everyone & everything before we depart from this world.  

A humble "Thank You" from deepest corner of my heart! 

Magic Pill

Well, it was noticed again and gives me some kind of satisfaction to quote this for all of you:

A lady in office came to my desk and asked me:
“Do you ever get angry?”
I said: “O yeah!!! Why”
“I never saw you angry. How come?”
I replied with a smile: “I do get angry sometimes… I have a happiness pill which I take every single day and it keeps me unaffected”

My roomie sits next to me and he commented from his desk: “I know his happiness pill coz I see him taking it everyday”
I winked: “O really?? What is it”
He said: “He does Sudarshan Kriya everyday”
I happily replied to both: “Yes, my roomie is right. It’s very important that we flush out all negativity everyday and that’s what I do with little bit of mediation. It really keeps me happy, healthy and harmonious.“

In everyday’s life, we never know when, where and how, we accumulate stress, tension and worry.
Have you ever thought, even while watching a movie on TV, we build-up negative emotions by seeing fights, quarrels & depressing events?
Tasks as simple as, thinking about someone you hate, drags you away from naturalness which is what stress is. This stress builds up in the system slowly and results as diseases & disorders.

Let’s all do some kind of relaxing to keep the negativity away from the system. Take any method which suits your system and let’s smile through our lives with Love, Laughter and Hope.

Keep Peace in Heart - At all times

I had been back into social media again, and this time with a blast… (wholla!! its driving me all nuts) these days, I am specially looking for those apps/devices/engines which can integrate all my accounts so that I need NOT do the connection piece. Well, it’s been pleasant exercise until now but there are still chances for improvements (may be I’ll write something on that later)

Good part is: I can find recent trends on all my interests, what ppl think on those topics, Share & discuss ideas, exploring newness with them etc. I am totally into spirituality and I was really glad to know that I can follow someone like HH Dalai Lama and Deepak Chopra on Twitter. I never realized that I would love reading technology stuff so much, I used to think I am devoid of tech interests. More I am “Digging”, better soil (read it “soul”) I am finding within myself. Nevertheless, I do recommend that we all should keep ourselves updated with the recent trends where every other day looks like an year back now.  As I am finding new celebrities, I can appreciate their talent even better, i.e. its only now I realized that Jim Carrey is so much into spirituality which shifted my perception about him. Also A R Rahman, is a big fan of his Sufi Guru and dedicated his whole success (in recent Oscars) to his Guru. How about the deal on Youtube which is offering all the ‘A’ ranked university courses online? Isn’t it amazing to know about it all just by sitting on the web?

Now bad part: Its addictive Guys! Believe me, I can feel the adrenalin gushing through my brain to find out more and more and more… First time in years I came back from Lunch today to realize I have more than 15 browser windows open on my laptop and I am failing to cope with it all. (another note: I hate people who keep unnecessary windows open, I personally like to keep it clean and simple LOL…). And now I find myself “socializing” @home, @work, @coffee shop, @barber shop and recent discovery was @restroom (LOL).  Yes, that’s what we all call obsession. And that’s why I keep leaving the Social Media once in a while and keep coming back to stay myself up-to-speed in this ever changing world.

It’s amazing to be in ‘W’orld… which is ‘W’ide and connected thru ‘W’eb.

Love you all and may god bless you!
