Be Child Like!

Last week I met my cousin's daughter. She is 3 years old. A typical girl who has loads to talk about.
I was asking her about her friends at school and we were communicating in Hindi. She was describing about a girl. At one point she couldn't find the right word for pig tails, but she had to continue. Can u imagine what she did? She sweetly declared that she will continue the talk in Malayalam( one more Indian language) and so she did!
I was amazed. She is a classic example of perfect communication.
We all were like that.
But as we grow up, communication is given a different meaning all together. It's not about conveying thoughts, but more about language, being politically correct and also a smart way of presenting the same thing in different manner to different audience!!!

****************************************

Next instance was when I gifted a toy car to my cousin's son. He played with it for a while and then came to me with the toy and loads of questions. I was amazed looking at the inquisitiveness.

As we grow, where do we lose this spirit of questioning?

****************************************

Have you noticed , how a child is clear about his choices?
He has his preference even in a toothpaste. And when not happy with something, he makes it visible to everyone. For him life is simple and about choices.

But as we grow, we get bound and confused. It's in fact we, who makes life complicated!

*****************************************

Finally...laugh. A kid would laugh on any silly thing. Have you observed his laugh? It's not just beautiful, it's infectious.

Why do we not show our happiness? Why do we suppress it?

Above mentioned are just few instances.
Imagine what life would have been, if live it like a child.

So why not???? Live life Child like!!

Que sera sera

One of my favorite Spanish Quotes 'Que Sera Sera' means 'what will be, will be'. This quote is so true. I may sound a bit philosophical but wanted to write this for quite some time now. There is a lot being said about being positive, dreaming and attracting what one wants,about not being broken on not getting what one wants. So many books are being sold on such topics and no doubts they make sense. Out of experience, I have realized that the base behind every advice is that what has to happen, will happen. One can't stop it. But one needs to accept what has happened and act accordingly. When a book talks about attracting what you want (say a bungalow), one can't just sit and keep dreaming. Actions need to be according to the intended goal. In achieving the said goal, we are sure to encounter a lot of obstacles. Beauty lies in facing them and planning the next steps. The world is actually a classroom, with each one being your peer and life is a very tough t...

Book Review- The Sialkot Saga by Ashwin Sanghi

When one of the best authors churns out his thoughts where fiction is mixed with history and also has a philosophical angle, we get a book which is an absolute page Turner! Again I will go by the attributes my review would be based on: Language: Impeccable is the word. Story and Pace: It's like a watching a movie where you can't wait for the suspense to unfold. You feel what the characters feel. Emotions, courage, power everything is demonstrated beautifully. There was one point I was questioning the need for exploring Hastinapur angle, but in the end I did get my answer. Pace of the story rarely slows down. One gets to witness various events, starting from India's Independence to the Mumbai attack. Political angle given to characters gives an opportunity to the readers to have a glimpse of India's political change, right from Indira Gandhi's time to Modi's. It is indeed a point to think on how GK(bookish one) can rather be taught in a story fo...

Power cut 'Memories'

I remember my childhood when in summers there was a specific time and duration for what we call 'power cut' in late evening. And that was time we all used to wait for. Our parents made sure we completed our homework by then, all their house hold work completed. When the moment came, lights went off everywhere. And an uproar of 'light gayiiiiii' was heard across. All the kids were out on the street. The only lights were candles at home, oil lit lamps at temples, moon and star shine. Hide and seek was best played like this. All the ladies used to gather and gossip, men used to discuss politics or office. Balconies and streets were filled with people. Everyone knew everyone. Teenage gangs played Antakshari and most of the time it was boys v/s girls version. If one was slightly more knowledgeable and wanted to show off, planets, stars, bikes were discussed. There were some days when we didn't go to play, but used to sit with mom dad and granny and listen to a story or...
