Lifeboat

We are all sailing in a boat. Someone's boat is big, someone's is small, someone's is light as it has less passengers to take along the journey, someone's is heavy.In between you will have many experiences- anxiety seeing a big obstacle,turbulence, anger,constant heat,happiness and finally that zest to keep your spirits up all along the way to help you reach that point.So, The only job that all we have to do is.. jut reach to that point. That one point that seems far off because of the distance (from the start to the finish) and the obstacles in between but we need to keep the courage that we can make it.. We can make it happen- at our speed. The only thing we forget is that to reach to that point we don't have to run. I agree this life has become a rat race but sometimes we should think about ourselves than thinking about this race. Don't run, just make sure that you are making an effort-an effort every day! Be the turtle, you don't need to be the rat. Its Ok.
Just get on the boat and start sailing. Everyday sail a little and one day, dhire dhire dhire, you will reach across and then, when you will look back and you will be surprised at your own self...
Remember to find the suitable boat and the right kind of companions in it and you can make it!
3-2-1...and start cleaning your boat as you have a long, beautiful, way to go!

It's all about loving

What if a 1st standard student falls in love with his class teacher??
I was reading a short story on it and I realized 'god!! I mean how would one handle such a situation?' A grown-up also cannot handle such situation well and this small child...How would he? What to tell him when he says "I don't want to go to the next class and don't want to have a new teacher?" When one day he comes from school and tells his mother, "Preeti ma'am wore a red Sari today. She always gives me a star for good handwriting. She gave me a kiss today on my cheek". When every day he gives a deeply observed description of hers to his mother then what to do? Just laugh at it or become fearful of his future heartbreak- the very first love bond he had made in the outside world can break any day? The whole day that little kid spends with her that you can't take the teacher out of his mind! I guess because children understand love, not the feeling of 'not-meant to be'! How to make them know that love can also be dangerous? Alas, such a naive age!

In the mid of today’s ‘I like you and break –up’ expressions, we don’t realise this form of love – tender, fresh, pure love; the heart that only knows love… Which has no confession and no break-up.  It starts with offering the favourite food which his mom gave that day, to his beloved teacher, with the expectation of just a smile from her in return!

If any day you lose faith in love, just go and experience the love of a child and he will reestablish your faith.
In fact, all of us have been through it!

Were you that child too, once upon a time?
