Identifying ways to Navigate the Inevitable - #NoFear

-

It’s 13:31, and I should be fast asleep, but instead, I find myself wide awake, with a pen in hand, thoughts flowing freely. 

It's odd but something definitely feels different today. 

The worries are still there, unchanged, sitting where I left them. But the past 48 hours brought a kind of strength I hadn't felt in a long time; subtle, may even be fragile, but very real. Or may be it was always there and I overshadowed (well, that's not my version but this is what I retained in these 48 hours). 

I still see the hurdles ahead. The route remains uncertain, but something about sharing my fears, voicing my worries, brought a flicker of light into the tunnel I’ve dreaded walking alone.

You probably don’t realize how much your presence, your voice, matters to me but I need to say it: even a moment of connection, even the smallest drop of relief from the weight I carry, travels with me a long way.

I've laid bare my fears, my doubts, the things that hold me back. And still, you stood there — not promising solutions, but reminding me that I’ll get through. That matters more than I can express.

I’m scared of leaning too much on your voice, your reassurance scares me of needing it. But that one check-in, that one call, that tiny window of connection helps in rebuilding something I thought I lost - "Trust in myself".

It’s only been a few hours of interaction, but I value every second of it. I won’t make any promises tonight, but I will hold on to this one belief that this journey isn’t mine alone. It includes every single one of you I crossed paths with over these past 48 hours.

I’ll honor each connection with respect, and I’ll keep walking for myself, by myself, but with the swag you all reminded me I still have :)

Thank you for being you and remaking the person I am xoxo

(sorry, no specifics but if you are reading this, you are definitely part of it)

Speechless I stood ....

With all the cling clangs of Merry Christmas, I never expected a big band of choir fooling me, making me stand still, pulsating ,trying to camouflage myself. When it was time to wish each other and ask for the day's plan, a friend called up and mentioned she was going to encourage a friend over lunch. One said, she had to make something special for her husband, and last but not the least had to spend her day at the church. The eldest of the gang had just returned from India, which made it obvious that she should be taking rest, getting herself out of the jet lag. So all were busy with something or the other. Day passed and I was so cozily sitting with my PJ's on, enjoying my plate of evening snacks with my family, when suddenly the door-bell rang and 'twas a friend asking for a small help. Few minutes later there was another bell, one more friend , just came in to show her new saree. But the third time the bell rang, I heard some children outside & they were my son'...

A Lesson Learned :)

Is it God's way of sending an ear to me or letting me sit with someone where I have to listen ? He has his own way of helping people solve problems. He moved my cheese and opened one door. Good that I was able to grab the opportunity. When I started from home, I was a little upset but my way back, She had changed the world for me. She was able to put a smile on my face and bring back life in me. I realized what I had lost few days back.  My son's school had organized a Volunteer Recognition Event and I was part of it. Mrs. Anderson's(The Principal) words were very touching. She said, "a little kindness given by us,contributed to the bigger Achievements today." Met another teacher(Grd. 4), whose room was known as "Helping Buddies" when my son was a Kinder. They helped kindergartners with their crafts. I was glad that she remembered him. A very sweet girl sat besides me and said," I know you. I have seen you in my class. You help us. Your son is...

Many a times unexpectedly my son says few things which makes me realise that he is growing big. But when will our politicians and our citizens grow their social and interpersonal skills remains a question in itself. I want to raise a question to those who stick to the newspaper every now and then, that do you really get some ways and means where you can develop your country or you are just reading the articles to chit chat with your friends and collegues and post blogs on page 3? Few days back, I heard that if we need to accept the citizenship of another country , we need to fight in favor for that country all the time. People who were eager to change there status or citizenship, started discussing on how can they fight against their original country? Now i ask them, where were you when your country was really needing you? wake up lazy bums !!! reading articles and staying glued to the screen will never help in progress. Take steps and rebuilt the democracy of our country. Jai Bharat !
