What do you see in the mirror?

A distinguishable, non-identical lookout of different segments of people makes an identity of a simple mirror more than an object. Mirror shows what you really are but amplifies what you have become. Mirror shows how physical beauty of a woman gets transformed to other kind of beauty with age; which over a period of time passes through distinct physical tasks like acts of giving birth and care, household activities, workplace pressures for working women etc.

Following, when you decide to look into your own eyes, you know, your

soul looks back at you, with what, only you can tell. And therefore mirror to lovers is like a test paper to be written every day to check whether the paths they have chosen for each other are correct or not. And the test is assumed to be passed when after seeing in their own eyes, they realize that they are doing enough for each other. 

Things that are hard to explain in words; can easily be written and read all over the mirror. This is beautifully practiced by a husband and wife when husband attempts to answer a difficult question posed by his wife. It is really difficult for a man to explain to his life partner, what are the limits of his love for her. But once, when asked about it, husband took his wife in front of the mirror and asked her to observe what all is visible. She replied, I am good looking today, this is what mirror shows but further argues, “remember, one day, this all will fade away”. A heart touching reply by her husband, which could not have been explained in any other better way was “the wrinkled skin then may be a cause of worry today; but the eyes will shimmer exactly the same way even years after, if you are happy then too”.

And this is what mirror does to all of us. It tells the story which is never told till date; it sometimes shows the future too by answering the most difficult questions in the most simple way.

I am in love for life and beyond WITH MYSELF that is what I could conclude after looking at the mirror today.

When a friend said "You never know what you can accomplish until you try"

Today morning I got a text from my husband which read like this:

“When we are wrong and surrender, we are honest;

When we are in doubt and surrender, we are wise;

But when we are right and surrender, we value relations.

Blessed TUESDAY morning. Mangal aapke liye MANGALMAYE ho!”

And it is really a blessed Tuesday for me today. One of my small write-up got published in today’s newspaper “The Hindu”. Can be read at http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/open-page/home-is-where-love-is/article7220699.ece

This brings in, a feeling of accomplishment and also rebuilt that confidence that your interest in writing is not getting waste and hence you are all self-motivated again to keep up with the work of writing.

Today’s event also proved that I have a right set of friends as they are ready to share and guide me in right direction. Sending the article to “The Hindu” was one of my friend’s ideas and she only guided me with the process and procedure of doing it. She is also one of those who not only reads my blogs regularly but also remembers what I write and hence never misses to quote one when required.  I cannot thank you enough “Madhura” for bringing me this feeling of joy and contentment. But still thank you and I am hopeful for keep getting such great ideas and suggestions from you in near future too.

Till date I have encountered many people who keep on doing the things secretively so that you should not know so as not to acquire the position, credit or something which they are enjoying. I think that they forget that no one can take away their luck, nor credit neither their talent from them. But I guess they are full of inferiority complex which keeps them a dual personality and hence loosing on good people. Only because of this habit of their, they gradually gets distant from people who could have done some good to them. May god gives them some positive mind to think about it and get their actions diverted in right direction.  

I am happy today, not only because of this published write up rather also to know that I have really good people around me who are always thinking for my betterment and very well know what can bring a smile on my face. All the glory is to Almighty for bestowing me with such good people.

Few NEW Things and I am POSITIVE ME

Its been certainly long since I have posted any blog. One can expect it to be an outcome of something like I have been busy to write anything or I have been depressed to share any positive thought or the usual thing that I must have been traveling more than my customary routine. But I guess, a mixture of all the above mentioned reasons should be considered as reality. That is, I have been eventful with a cousin sister’s wedding, also I have been traveling more than my usual humdrum leading to big holes in my pocket & also a flaking money plant at my house and also I have not been so positive in the past few days. But here I am back with the positive me and as always, have a lot many things to share which are making my life little relaxed and agreeable. I have few bullet points to make which differentiate my today from the days in past.

• We have hired a maid to cook for us in the evening, making it easier to spend some quality time with my own self rather than to be wasting the precious time in the demanding kitchen.
• I have adopted a routine to go for walk in the evening when my newly hired maid is cooking.
• I am back to my reading habit which every day brings out the best in me.
• I have stopped complaining about something which I cannot change. Although if not completely, but partially I have succeeded in it.
• I am no more a facebook, or a phone call person (i.e. I do not sit for hours on facebook anymore, and I prefer not to call anyone without work now) as I think this was leading me to nowhere else other than depressing thoughts and comparisons.
• I have started talking less and listening more, especially with those who otherwise seems to be silly and nonsense. As I have accepted the fact that it is really difficult for people to appreciate and tells it on your face that you are an excellent person.

And all this leads to a positive change in me. May be other people would not see it that evidently but I can feel it perfectly. Earlier only the thought of securing my shoe lace and go for walk in the park was enough to make me feel exhausted, but now I am actually taking out half an hour (to start with) to walk. This could happen because I have changed my priorities and decided to take out some time for my own self.

Green tea, which I thought is something only my sister and celebrities can take, I have started consuming it too now. It is not because I want to be like Madhuri or Deepika or any other celeb but it’s only because I want to feel fit and hence positive. This could happen because I took those criticisms (of course from the people who matters to me) seriously.

I have decided it, for sure, that let the world go to hell and I will now on give a dam to what is happening around me till the time it is not affecting me and I am fine & enjoying.

The other day I read and shared also that “THESE DAYS WE DO NOT MAKE FIRENDS RAHTER WE ADD THEM”. Now I have started realizing that too. It is so true that you cannot be friends with everyone you meet so there is no point in wasting your time and energy in giving them or taking from them any sort of GYAAN. Just talk the minimum and concentrate on your own things. That will eventually help in bringing the best out of you.

With a hope that I will continue to be adopting this healthy routine and mind-set I end this blog here only (as already it is too long).
