Being Me



Good morning!!

Yet another Saturday AM blog. Today is the day of introspection, reflection, and contemplation.

I am grateful to almighty for each and every blessing that has been showered on me and on my family. 

Today is also the day of completing one year of committing to active blogging and publishing the post every Saturday. I have tete-a-tete received so many comments and compliments for being a consistent writer and blogger with promising blessings that I am doing a good job. It certainly feels good. Thank you so much for your fortunate words, impelling comments, and thrilling compliments.

I recollect the exact moment when my fussy mind and vibrant soul required “something” more to do and I contacted my Professor to involve me in anything creative and productive. I pleaded with her to provide me with anything to do. 

This does not imply that I do not have a life or have lesser things to do. I am a full-time mother, a full-time homemaker, a full-time HR professional of a reputed organization, and an insatiable reader of books but along with this, I am also a super-sensitive and super-active full-time human being. There is invariably a constant desire to do “something more”. 

So, my professor (who has known me since my post-graduation days and my habit of thinking...rather over-thinking!!) instantly recommended to embark on the journey of blogging and pouring out the thoughts into the form of words. And I followed her verdict and here we are… I am eternally grateful to her for her direction. To know my professor and the leading entrepreneur you can visit her site (https://youtube.com/c/AnitaSharma_0810)

From a range of numerous types of experiences, if I have to quickly glance at my favorite one, that would be the magic of the “slowness” of life experience amid the “quickness” of passing time. I started running marathons, writing papers and case studies, and daily growing as a mother and professional …the more I do, I feel there is so much scope for doing further.

My “commendable achievement” is still not achieved. Because the meaning of “commendable achievement” in my definition is becoming the better version of my old self and continuing the process till the last day.

At this early hour of 30th October 2021 (time- 4:30:54), the calling of the beautiful wintery weather outside is now interrupting me from writing anything more. Will see you next Saturday(s) with upcoming book reviews and sharing of other life experiences and awaiting your thoughts and comments on the blog posts to come.

Happy Birthday to me.

Who is She?

She Disclaimer- This post is a modest pour-out of sensitivities or rather it is my way of introspection, after hearing numerous elements of violence on women as circulated in various media platforms. We often feel proud in saying that "we have changed as a society and are now more human", but is it so? She is strong. She is empowered. She is a Devi. She is the centrifugal point of the world. These sayings are some of the stinging satire of our so-called modern society. Many say She has been liberated … from whom . She has been freed … from which conservators . She has been permitted to tell her mind … although her spoken words directly filter out from their ego . And yes, she has been allowed to wear anything … with a big BUT involved. She is a day-to-day companion in the community. She can be seen administering home and kids, running in offices, standing tall in politics, cooking quietly in the kitchen, driving hard with a focus in mind. She is present anywhere and everywhe...

Who is he?

Disclaimer- After briefing my view on her through the blog post " Who is She  ", this post is an attempt at my introspection on the “status” of the other  "50% " of the population. The basis of the write-up is what I have observed and felt. Is He a Ram or a Raavan? Is He a Krishna or a Kansa? Is He a Kalki or a Kali? Glory is his other name, or is it retirement time for this whimsical term? Since the inception of cultures and civilisations, males in our societies have been set to perform and tick specific criteria. The he-man of our society has since tried his best to live up to this reputation over time. However, nervousness is visible in him, primarily in the current times, when his defined roles are being questioned, and he himself conflicts with the hypothesis of malehood. These defined his-roles are formulated either through self-imposed judgments gathered from the experiences of others or through upbringing notions set in him, leading to specific ima...

The Missing Goat (Small Story)

-

Absence vs Presence Disclaimer- It is a popular story shared on social networks.  It all started one lazy Sunday afternoon in a small town near Toronto in Canada.  Two school-going friends had a crazy idea.  They rounded up three goats from the neighborhood and painted the number 1, 2 and 4 on their sides. That night they let the goats loose inside their school building.  The next morning, when the authorities entered the school, they could sense ( & smell!! ) something was wrong.  They soon saw goat droppings on the stairs and near the entrance and realized that some goats had entered the building.  A search was immediately launched and very soon, the three goats were found.  But the authorities were worried, where was goat No. 3?  They spent the rest of the day looking for goat No.3.  Gradually there was panic and frustration.  The school declared classes off for the students for the rest of the day.  The teachers, helpers, gu...
