Living life to its fullest

Today i have completed my 33 weeks of pregnancy as per the ultrasound report. This journey of 33 weeks has been full of pain, happiness, tension and off-course concern for my little one. I call him Hanu. Hanu is a short of Hanuman. As my husband is a devotee of lord Hanuman i asked him for his garce and given the nickname to my child as "Hanu". I want him to be powerful, intelligent, naughty (but no so much) and a worshiper of lord Shri Ram. Now there are hardly few weeks left for his arrival and i am waiting for him everyday. When i am writing this blog he is still moving inside me. It's an exciting and emotional moment in your pregnancy when you feel you child moving inside you and you wonder what he's upto. Sometimes the movements are so rapid that i feel like yelling at him and tell him to stop it. And this feeling makes me smile in alone. Mothers are very special and the way they carry their child for 9 months with them and gives birth to them is no less than a ...

Yesterday when I went on bed a thought came to my mind that tomorrow is Independence Day and Our Prime minister Mr. Narender Modi will deliver the speech from the Red fort. Early morning feeling reluctant to wake up the only thought for which I left the bed was to listen Modi’s speech. I think I made a good decision. I felt proud to hear the speech because it has been a long time since we watched a prime minister delivering speech with so much energy and zeal. He delivered an extempore speech and that too in Hindi unlike the former prime ministers who give run of the mill speeches. Politics has never been a topic of my interest but yes Modi has been. Most of the people of the country like me have stopped talking, thinking and reading about the political issues because of the corrupt politics prevailing in the country. I am not a supporter of BJP or against Congress or any other political party but yes I am in favor of a man and the ideologies he believes in. The way he delivers spe...

29 December 2013 The truth is rarely pure and never simple. Oscar Wilde   A truth we often forget while living life to its fullest. A part of life we never want to discuss, never want to remember that we can be separated by our dear ones by this greatest truth called death. While making this journey beautiful & fulfilling we often forget the destination.  A second big loss in a decade. Dilip Mama is no more. He was suffering from Cancer for last 2 years and on this Sunday all the efforts and prayers of my family went in vain. We lost the most lovable, understanding and simple person with high values. He lived his life in a very simple way and taught the same to his children as well. When I think of him Content is the word which comes to my mind. He was happy and content with his life but the past 2 years changed the world around him and all of us. I really fail to understand how to behave when we loss someone we love so much. Do we need to behave in a practical and a m...

Is there any joke which can make a seriously ill person suffering from cancer  laugh? Is there any book which the most depressed person can read and enjoy? Is there any music which can heal wounds? Is there any movie which can help to forget the troubles of life? Is there something in the world which can reduce the pain of losing the beloved one? Searching the answers of the above but I think the answer is no, none or nothing. Feeling a bit sad, depressed as I am missing my family (especially my mother) and the thought of dilip mama’s health is hammering again and again my mind. It’s almost 1 and a half year since he is suffering from the most serious and deadly disease cancer. I still remember the day well when I spoke to him over the phone listening he is not well. I said “ kya hua mama?” He replied with innocence and a smile “ pata nahi beta pet main kuch gadbad hai” Actually initially he was suffering from stomach ache and after visiting several doctors ...

“Love will find its way A person to whom No, you will never say The safest place you wanna always stay Is the heart of the one whom you love everday Believe me love will find its way Life looks beautiful in the eyes of hers Worries vanishes with the smile of hers The one who makes me feel happy is only you Now my life is  like a bright day I am sure love will find its way”

Few years back when I started learning Spanish, my trainer (now my dear Husband) asked a question to me "Con quien to amas muchisimo?" And as I was a new spanish learner and didn't have that good vocabulary I replied in one word "Libros" Though the answer I gave was true and it came quickly to my mind. The question was "whom do you love the most" and i replied "Books" At that time i didn't know that this will be the most true and intelligent answer i am giving. Today my world revolves around books, I am working as a freelance translator and a writer. And the above pics are of my recently translated book on health and fitness by Nishi Grover. I have always been a book lover but when you connect to it professionally then the love  grows even deeper. Not because you start getting paid for it but because now there's no other thing apart from your family that can occupy the priorities list in your life. For me the q...

Today is teacher’s day. When we think of this word “Teacher” we only remember our school & college teachers and I always find this idea very weird.  When you look for a dictionary meaning of this word you will find it as a person who teaches esp. in a school. But for me the meaning of this word has always been very comprehensive. I often think why this teacher’s day is only confined to school or college teachers?? Today I would like to share a wider meaning of this term so that next year you can celebrate this day as even more grand. I am very sure we all must have heard these phrases some or the other time: “The home is child’s first school, and the mother is the first teacher.” “Nature is the best teacher.” “Learning is a lifelong process.” “Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lessons afterwards”. I have been reading and listening the above few quotes since childho...
