Ooppss I FORGOT..!!

I forgot my multivitamins today, and yesterday I forgot to feed the fish and the day before, I forgot to run the errand I had most importantly stepped out of the house for.

Yes, I forget stuff, call me scatter brained or pea brained or whatsoever, but that's how we all are.....we have a tendency to forget...but guess what, with time I am starting to realize that Forgetting may perhaps not be excellent for our body, if we skip vitamins or meals...it may not be good for the fish whom we forget to feed, it may also not be pleasant for our ears, while we are being yelled at for not doing the work assigned. But the truth being that it is medicine for soul...

They say TIME and LOVE heals everything....But then again.. what exactly does time do?? Not magic for sure....but just makes us erase the bad memories with the new pleasant (hopefully) ones we make...Well.....and LOVE too, by the way, has the same function.... As such Time and Love do not do anything of their own, but a sub-task and that is to help the person FORGET....

Not everyone has fantastic experiences while growing up. And would it not be for partial amnesia, this tormented person would fail in every step of life....thanks to his disturbed childhood or youth he would lose all confidence and be clouded by fear. But it doesn't usually work this way. It takes a while but a man gradually forgets his horrendous past. Forgetting is perhaps a great route to buck up the self confidence and get inspired in life again...

He said no wrong for He always said, "FORGIVE and FORGET...that's the ONLY way to live happily in this world."

P.S. - And all those who forgot to walk their dog or missed sending that important email or forgot your daily medicinal dose....RELAX, you are on your way to greater health and spirit....thankfully to amnesia..!

Dear December

Is it me or is everyone around feeling the spirit of the season...Everywhere I turn, there are smiling faces. People just let you go in front of the car with a sweet hand gesture and a SMILE..! The staff at stores does not even need a holler, they greet you as soon as you enter....again with a wide SMILE..! Green and red everywhere makes it even more delightful.

The best thing about December, besides the cozy coats, knee-high boots, and the sometimes chilly breeze.....is the SMILES....

Oh dear December....come far more often than once every year and spread your cheer all over..!!

May everyone have a HAPPY and SMILEY DECEMBER...!!

Am currently interviewing a British lady in mid-forties, who has survived breast cancer.

Now, I know this disease is becoming frequent over the years and not many gape at the sound of it anymore. Neither do I....usually. But even though, her answers were not very descriptive of her frail condition, I just for a second put myself in her shoes.

(Hate to admit, but I am teary-eyed......Try visualizing yourself too, in a similar situation...you'll know what I just mean.)

And now I am left mulling over the endless things, the importance of which, I cease to acknowledge on a regular basis. A superb mom, good health, great friends, a decent degree, food and a lot more things....! I understand this sounds

clichéd, but that is how great this thought is, that though over-used it still touches a soul or two when stated each time.

Smiling my way,

Through the day!

Simplicity, are you gone?

In my conversation with a 9 year old on this past Friday, she just oophed and said, "Oh I am attending yet another birthday party tonight, and that is at Burj Khalifa". All I could do was watch with a jaw reaching down my knee.

Quite a few things surprised me actually. Firstly, as per the new trends, 9-year olds no longer celebrate their birthdays in Mcds, they just do it in Burj Khalifa, or something of that standard.

And the second, she oh-ed about it as dressing up and attending parties was like a burden loaded on her little back.

I know I would probably come across as a 60-year old grandmom with my statements of 'In my times.......'. But seriously.... "In my times, it was waaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy simpler." Birthdays were fun and jolly affairs. We bought the 20dhms pack of invitation cards with cinderella, goofy or a bear on them. We gifted simple stuff like perhaps a doll or a teddy or the evergreen book. We walked into such parties with a casual shorts or jeans and a t-shirt, sang happy birthday and ate home-made cake. And to top it all, most birthday parties I remember, were either at home or the nearest McDonalds or Pizza hut and never ventured further. They started at 5 and ended around 8 and we all headed home then with a fun day of games and laughter.

Guess it ain't the same anymore. They have parties in.....as mentioned...Burj Khalifa and maybe then even ballrooms of Burj Al Arab and Emirates Palace. Teddy bears raise an eyebrow or two if gifted and will probably even jeopardize the friendship. DJ or an orchestra replace the friendly though off-tune happy birthday song. Oh and nobody wears the same regular stuff on parties anymore. They are out making their wardrobe purchases at the news of an upcoming birthday. It's more of "Did you see her backless number?" and "Check out her shoes!" instead of some silly chatter.

It's less than five years since I existed my teens, but oh boy, times have really really changed.
