<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">I was sitting in the office cafeteria with friends and colleagues.
Digesting lunch. I choose to sit and
allow my stomach to have a slow digestion process. So what? I own a large bunch of lazy muscles. My stomach understands me completely!
He knows It’s not that I don’t love walking with legs much or that I love my
sluggishness (which sometimes I do!) Poor him realizes perfectly that I am good at
ignoring most of the good lifestyle leading thoughts and ultimately actions! Plays his own tricks and techniques to remind me about my unhealthy habits (I guess every stomach does that) is norm and what he is expert in. So out of love (he thinks!) I do exercise once in a while to compensate. Okay! No
more discussion on my bonding with my stomach!!</span><br />

tired we were going to be and already were. I was innocently melting ice-cream in my
mouth, enjoying every bite with ‘aww’ feeling in my mind, not aloud boy!!
I was disinterested until one of us pointed towards a middle aged
man. He was short, extremely chubby (in a cute way), wearing loose shirt and
equally ill-fitting trousers and expressions like a man going for a movie all
alone. He was one 'unique specie', right?Friend mentioned, “He is our project team-mate”. We all
peeped at once, in a row and got glimpse of the waddling man. All ears, hoping
interesting tales! He continued as all anticipated,
“Whole day he remains so focused, <i>shareef,
</i>sometimes so disinterested, he would get lost in middle of conversation” saying this he mimicked one such conversation. The mimicry, hilarious than the context. ”But
he is a totally different guy at parties, charged up, sharing stories of his wife and
children, burgers and cars, giving funny and different poses in each click.” Listening
to this I blurted out, “Is he the same guy in photo you showed the other day??
The man with cigarette between teeth, bearing a crooked smile, standing with
crossed arms, head tilted, legs wide open in <i>tashan</i>????” (Yes! I was attentive my ice-cream was over!). The
moment he nodded, all busted out laughing. He continued while laughing “In one
of the other photograph we all were standing with V and rock fingers, straining
faces, posing. He came and lay in front of the whole group, facing camera, one
hand resting under the head, other one holding glass placed on ground. No 'cheese' and the pic was like once in lifetime” We insisted on seeing the
photographs. And after looking at pics for few minutes we were rolling on the
floor, seriously!! </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Then keeping the momentum on, other friend started to share
a similar hysterical incident when their whole team had gone together at Water
Park. She described how many didn’t know swimming but they were having fun at
different levels inside water (not deep). Suddenly one non-swimmer slipped in
water and caught hand of person next to him, funny thing was even he didn’t
know swimming, then to save himself the second guy interestingly held the
person who again had no skill in swimming. She mimicked the whole misery of the
second guy that how the non-swimmer in middle had to battle against the kicks
from both sides and had to struggle to come out of water. He was blaming his
bad fate innocently. The whole situation OMG!! Laughed our hearts out. This was
not the ending; in other situation in office some mischievous team-mates had
mailed the invitation of his marriage with manager from his unlocked system to the
whole team. It created earthquake but we were almost in tears, nearing death out of aching stomach!</span><br />

beautiful, mother of a girl, Ria 3 years old, had been sound asleep in her room
at 2:00 AM when a loud crash awakened her. <i>Earthquake!</i>
She thought, finding her husband not beside her, rushed towards the door. In
front of the door stood her husband. Confusion and terror filled her. “I am
losing it”, he screamed and pulled her into the living room and punched her
hard in the face, knocking her to the floor. “I am your wife. What are you
doing?” she cried in pain. He picked the glass table and dropped it on her.
Raising her arms in front of her face, bring her legs close to her body, she
tried blocking, protecting her child in her womb. Glass came shattering over
her. Pain shot all through her body like an electric shock. He tied her hands
and went inside the room. She screamed for help! Her hands trying to get free.
He came with bottle of kerosene. <i>He is
going to burn me! </i>She cried, “Please!” He light fire and left her to burn.
She kept screaming, helpless, fighting, loosing. Darkness covered her eyes and
she lost conscious. Her neighbors had called police, her husband was
handcuffed. She was taken to the hospital. Her little daughter unaware of the intensity
of event which has altered her whole life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

and gloves entered the ICU. She saw a women lying still in the bed. Hooked up
to the ventilator that was breathing for her. Wrapped up like mummy in white
bandages, except for her swollen face and hands. Her face so disfigured,
blackened and unrecognizable. She was horrified. Taking a deep breath, she
walked beside her and gently took her hand and whispered in her ears,”Kiran,
see it’s Raksha. I am here with you!” Raksha
felt slight grab in her hand, saw her sister in little motion. Kiran blinked
with closed eyes and a tear fell out of her eyes. <i>She is there, she can listen</i>! Raksha sat there, all the memories
of her sister came flashing by. How she would never lend her favourit dress to
her, how lovingly she took care of her plants, sitting on branch of a tree and
licking ice-cream. Her once beautiful sister, now fighting for every breath. She
felt very heavy in her heart. Her throat choked. Finally she let her tears flow
silently. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">All the world’s a stage, wrote
William Shakespeare. And centuries after his literary works, we still find his
plays being brought into life at various stages across the world, time to time.
On the occasion of his 450<sup>th</sup> birthday, Shakespeare’s literature was
celebrated by showing his plays in theaters this April. Bangalore alone had so
many theaters replaying his plays. </span><span lang="EN" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;">The prophecy of his great contemporary,

lectures were never my favorite. I liked science and math. This was the chapter
where for first time we scribbled meanings and took notes as the teacher
explained. I blame Shakespeare. I remember our teacher had made us enact and
reenact the play until we were conversant with every line. I suspect she
enjoyed these sessions as for her there wasn’t much to do and we showed
involvement limited only for writing exams.</span></div>

whatever I have read I feel</span><span lang="EN" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;"> he must be very brainy. His plot in
play filled with all human shades- envy, rage, greed, love, marriage, lust a
few. I don’t know whether it’s his excellence of delivery or outcome of his
brilliant perception which prints distinct impression of his poems and plays,
which are always so suggestive, evocative, sometimes commanding sympathy and all
the time simulating. Read lines from his Sonnet 116 and you would not agree
more:</span></div>

All fool’s day. It’s time for you to unleash your fun
side. The only day when you can officially pull the leg of anyone - who always
scared you, your boss (if you are sure there are no chances of him firing you!!),
your big always so right brother, your best friend so smart or your no nonsense
teacher… Being a trickster and pulling out fake stuffs and making them believe in
it… Oh! That pleasure does makes us so so happy and whole situation a hilarious
incident in cells of our memory. I can remember my first memory of April fool’s
day when I was in 2</span><sup style="line-height: 107%;">nd</sup><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"> standard, all I could think of was pretending

simple in nature, the so called prank to me did give me a good amount of laughter
and a sense of pride in pulling a leg of an adult none other than my mom!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I just like the whole idea of celebrating the less celebrated
quality – foolishness. We are intelligent creatures (most of the times) no
doubt! But we all don’t know, in our daily life, we try so hard to look less
fools. There is a little fool in us sitting and seeking an opportunity to peek
out. We push the doors which are meant to be pulled, we take lifts to climb to
first/second floor, we won’t eat food from table but would eat without cleaning
our hands, we are hesitant to grab a good opportunity, we expect our kids to be
honest when we lie for mere looking great in front of others, we argue on pity
matters, play on computers and smart phones when we can socialise and make good
relationships… believe me we are fools of different kinds, every day of our
life. May be because of that we have a day like this, to celebrate that
forgotten feature, part of our life, to remind ourselves that we are foolish
and it’s not a bad thing at all </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">.

exterior, its shape and size but the graphite inside. So you see my child always
focus on your inner thoughts and attitude, our inner self is our true identity.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;">”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

way, you should know that everything you do in life will leave a mark, so try
to be conscious about your every action.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;">”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

smaller and smaller... so we should remember that life is not all black and
white, but mostly shades of grey. Live life to the fullest. We have limited
time, but we can manage to make most of it.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;">”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

retains all its virtues. This means we should always try to remain the same in
all conditions. Both during triumph and difficulty.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;">”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Today was a lovely day. Full on happening. Met so many. Learned
so much, laughed my heart out, cracked silly jokes (my speciality!!!)…. But
that one thing which made it memorable was the seminar with Sir Vinod. He not
only had a superb charm in his way of interaction but also, he shared
remarkable memories of his childhood with none other than Rahul Dravid. Yes! Our
very own great Rahul Dravid!!! Hailed as -The wall. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Vinod Sir is an influential man in his forties with that power
of speech which can clutch yours or say anyone’s attention in a jiffy… you
can’t be a lazy head when he is around… His choice of words, use of pauses,
amusing sentences makes him crowd attention grabber… whatever it takes to make
a good speaker, he has all. He had come to take a boring topic with us which he
tied spicing up with stories of relevance (the stories of Dravid were very much
relevant) and cricket match updates … and I must say his motive of banishing
the listeners from sleeping was quiet successful (with majority of boys in)…
one of the tales which he shared was about him and Dravid (Ya! I have started
sharing the details </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">, stick your eyes nowhere)</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">… He had gone school with Rahul. He
was two years senior to Rahul. They had played cricket together in the fields
of Bangalore. All the players practiced in the morning for cricket time 6:00am
(say) and everyone used to come by 5 or 10 or at times 15 min late but not Dravid,
he used to land on field 15 min prior to the practice time and used to broom
the pitch and picked the pebbles off the field unless few others came for
practice to start… such was his allegiance and adherence towards excellence of
cricketing.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Telling about another incident he said, “During those days
buses took lot of time, we all used to wait at bus stop after practice, next to
the stop was basketball court where girls played… we never minded waiting you
see (we all laughed!!! But he was acted innocent and continued) … but Rahul
would not waste minutes standing for bus you see he preferred practicing until
the bus came… ”. Here is one person and here we are always blaming time and
situations for not being able to do things we love doing… anyways like this he
shared how he was apple of every teacher’s eye, always good in studies and worshipping
cricket the same time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">He shared how Dravid is great person as he is extremely
humble , during weddings and parties they all meet… there he favours standing
in line for meeting the bride and groom in weddings and prefers remaining away
from media glare… likes no special treatments , no doubt we all considered him
wall for being </span><span style="background: white; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">the last classical batsman, acting
cemented that held the foundations firm while the flair players expressed
themselves in test matches… but </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;">It is unlikely that any other sportsman in
India has achieved as much as he has and still conducted himself in such an
exemplary manner… only close is our own Sachin Tendulkar. </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Every cricket fan would remember
that in August 2011, when after receiving a surprise call in the ODI series
against England, Dravid declared his retirement from ODIs as well as Twenty20
International (T20I), and in March 2012, he announced his retirement from
international and first-class cricket. </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">If one looks back and read his retirement speech one will
observe a sheer gratitude , love for cricket and a sense in retiring when he
could play more , few fragments of his </span><a href="http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/rahul-dravid-retirement-speech/1/177024.html"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">speech</span></a><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> are:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

years since I first played a Test match for India, and I feel it's time for me
to move on. Once I was like every other boy in India, with a dream of playing
for my country. Yet, I could never have imagined a journey so long and so
fulfilling. I have had a wonderful time, but now it is time for a new generation
of young players to make their own history and take the Indian cricket team
even further….. My approach to cricket has been reasonably simple: it was about
giving everything to the team, it was about playing with dignity, and it was
about upholding the spirit of the game. I hope I have done some of that. I have
failed at times, but I have never stopped trying. It is why I leave with
sadness but also with pride.</span></blockquote>

<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN;">After his early (Don’t we all
agree?) retirement he appeared in the 2012 Indian Premier League as captain of

<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN;">I don’t know why I felt so strong
on writing about him and my todays experience when we all know that he has been
a genuine guy, a person admired…. May be because I liked the fact that even
people close to him feel the same and has seen that Dravid which we saw
swinging bat in air for his team and staying grounded, marrying the girl of her
mother’s choice and always living with dignity on field, off field and in front
of media… It is often difficult to maintain the same type of behavior
everywhere until that is your true nature… He is indeed one of the best batsmen
for the Indian cricket team ever had , <i>The Nice Guy Who Finished First</i>
as is even the title of his biography written by Devendra Prabhudesai.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

dream as you do to your fears. I am sure we all have come across these words or
say something very similar to this viewpoint in speeches or books. What is significant
is the impression these words are trying to make, which is that the person who
dares to believe in dreams is accustomed to meet and create beautiful life. The
first stride is towards dreaming well and the other is towards its fulfilment. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

cheering <i>aam admi</i>. He is been doing
everything possible and has been redefining the every inch of <b>‘democracy’</b> our India boosts about,
though a long path awaits him. We all are thankful to him for making us believe
in ourselves, that we require no magic wand but that the power lies in our
votes. This day is going into the history books… the tale of how revolution
struck against corruption and influenced the whole nation and brought powers to
well-deserved people. They want each one of us to believe in change, the change

takes the cartoonists behind the iron bars… Do they want to demonstrate their scornful
authority? They save criminals, bring Politicians with no qualification as
candidates and impose namesake lenient restrictions as eligibility criteria in
electing, provide no security to the females on street and old at home… when the
riot hit people see their children die in cold, what good can be expected, at the end of the
day we see all of them playing their beautiful game of blaming others… what
they have done till date is like making castles on fertile land with hundreds
of people dying hungry, when they were supposed to turn barren lands fruitful
and bringing ideas into reality, the more I write it is less.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Here I am writing after
days. I wish if you could give me a big hug. Things are no longer normal since
morning… the jinx of usual troubling thoughts in my mind and complications of
life is broken. Our wedding card, Jaya weds Keshav written with golden emboss,
wedding between Jaya, a girl from small town, average looking, extrovert,
college lecturer and Keshav tall, handsome
(very very!!), introvert city boy working in private firm. Two opposite people
vowed together to be each other’s companion for lifetime…The cacophony of
excited relatives, all memories with tiny details still afresh in front of my
eyes... How can I forget it? </span></i><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<i><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I was very happy on our wedding day … I knew he is
little shy and I thought with time he would be okay, would make attempts to
bring in more understanding as ours was an arranged marriage. But he doesn’t
try. It’s me always. I used to do all the talking and mingling and he only used
to sit and smile… one mystery man!! His thoughts and feelings… who knew? He
never expressed. Sorry, I can’t read minds. No doubt he is reverent and caring
but you know since our marriage he hasn’t spoken a word of appreciation nor has
he taken me out. I know I am not one in a million girl, I can’t cook properly,
nor do I have a Sridevi smile, but still he could be little generous, I am his
wife. It’s obvious I grew sad within. And with passing days, all nagging thoughts,
troubling questions grew stronger. I am into wrong relationship? Is he gay? Why
did he marry me after all? A series of events have happened today I have
finally got answers to many of my questions…
Let me take you to the beginning. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Today morning I was doomed as usual thinking
(Yes! I was in my terribly thinking mode) if he isn’t happy why can’t he tell
me? We have whole life. Mom says I should give him time… arree…Why to take
forward a relation which has no substance? Am I being silly? I should ask him
directly… I will… Arranged marriages are horrible? I think my friends from
college were right. But he isn’t bad. But he isn’t good. Engrossed in miserable
confusing, puzzling emotions I was preparing breakfast and I don’t know what
happened next… only thing I remember was I found myself on bed. My mother in
law was sitting next to me smiling. She asked about my well-being, gave a glass
of juice and handed over a note to me and walked out of the room. My heart grew
weak. I unfolded the single piece of paper, my pulses were soaring high and my
mind had stopped thinking. It read,</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></i>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">” You collapsed on kitchen floor in morning.
I think you have been stressing yourself too much. Give yourself little break. I
know I have not been able to give you time. I am thoughtless introvert. I can’t
so I write-<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">The
day you stepped into my life, you changed it into something so beautiful and
meaningful. You are just so amazing to have around. I cannot stop myself from
telling you, how much you mean to me. I love you so much Jaya</span></span></i><span style="background: #F8F8F8; color: #333333; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 9.0pt; line-height: 107%;">.</span><i><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> You are a wonderful
girl I am glad I married you. Your chirpy nature has added spark into my life. Though
it’s been only a 15 days into marriage but I am already addicted to your
non-stop Buk-Buk. I have got something beautiful for my stunning wife. It’s
kept near our wedding photograph on table. I have gone to call doctor. Take
care. Keshav. ” </span></i></blockquote>
<i><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">You know diary, what I found there? There was a beautiful Platinum
necklace, it has a lovely pendant with dimond in centre... Such a beautiful white shining marvel (I am wearing it) its shine
reflected the love of Keshav, pure, flawless, beautiful, one of it's kind… embracing me (</span></i><i><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 20px;">will soon paste its photo!!!)</span></i><i><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">. I was
being so stupid all the time. Just 15 days. How could I grow soooo dumb…? Oh! right... I have always been like this... I was
like C’mon Jaya. It was you who was complicating things in your head. Why do you think so much, girl!!! He is shy
but so genuine... Rare like platinum (30 times more rare than gold!!! White Gold).</span></i><i><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The platinum necklace is token of his love. Witness of our first
step together towards a new beginning. Today is our <a href="http://www.preciousplatinum.in/en/about-platinum/platinum-day-of-love" target="_blank">Platinum day of Love</a>... Yes!
I felt the most magical feeling… feeling of being loved… Thank you God!! Oh! I
forgot to tell you there was a card also which is pasted below. It’s lovely. </span></i></div>

She got up very early today despite being a Sunday as it’s
her birthday!!! She is turning 9. She knows she would be receiving gifts and
will get to eat lots and lots of sweets today. So she quickly took her bath,
wore her new dress and was ready looking pretty like a princess. She touched
every elder’s feet and took warm healthy blessings. Next she wanted to taste
all mouth-watering colourful sweet-smelling sweets, but she knew until she
visits temple and does <i>pooja </i>with her
mom she can’t even touch them.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Hence she hurried with her mom to nearby temple. The
temple was a peaceful place with trees all around the main structure having nicely sculptured walls and a large courtyard. With
folded hands and eyes closed Gauri thanked her favourite Lord Krishna for all the
strength during the school race which she won and for giving three good friends
Shalini, Nita and Tammana in school. She asked for a bicycle as her birthday
gift and for two more marks than Geeta (the topper of class) in maths subject. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">After doing <i>pooja,</i>
now she waited for the<i> ladoos</i>. Gauri’s
mom could sense her impatience and gave her full big l<i>addoo</i>. Finally her wait was over, with <i>laddoo</i> in her hand Gauri was springing with happiness here and
there. What she didn’t know was that she
was being watched. She sat on the bench of temple to enjoy flavours
properly. The moment she was about to take the first bite, a crow came down the
tree and took her <i>laddoo</i> off her hand.
Gauri saw as the laddoo flew away stuck in crow’s feet away from her eyes. She
had tears in her eyes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">She thought why did God do this to her, it was her birthday, she
was being such a nice girl all the time. She didn’t fight with her brother
since past 2 days. Was doing her home work properly. Then why? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Lost in such sad thoughts and tears she was sitting motionlessly.
Her mom saw her with filled eyes and came close, asked the reason. After listening
to Gauri, her mother, told her that she should not be sad as she could help the
poor little hungry crow, now that crow’s stomach is full he would be thanking
her somewhere. To console her further Mom explained her there is plenty of <i>laddoos</i> and that she can have many and
also the big big slice of cake and she should not shed tears, she was a brave
girl.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> After hearing her
mother. She wiped her tears. She went home and had a plate full sweets and big
chocolaty piece of cake, though she was forbidden from having lots of sweets as
she suffered from tooth ache all thanks to Mr Crow and God. Gauri was cheerful again.
She was happy Mr Crow took her ladoo. She had such nice treat on her birthday
plus the bicycle!!! Best gifts she could have.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Hey! Do you say “Not possible!!”? Then my friend, you have underestimated the power of imagination!! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Yes, it’s one of the most impressive strength of human mind. By annexes of imagination you live your dreams for few seconds… impossible becomes possible in our custard of thoughts…it lifts the wings of hopes and pushes harmless dreams to surface. I just love imagining, or say dreaming, another synonym for imagination… it adds creative blends to day to day life but there is other side of the coin, the other product of imagination “Fear”, not so adorable.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Different people suffer from different sorts of fear. <b>What am I afraid of ? </b>If i ask this question, I would say<b> </b>I fear darkness, the night. I can’t walk across lonely corridors in dark hours all alone, I freak myself out thinking a snake would scale out from plants, towards me, I terror somebody would attack me hiding somewhere, I panic imagining a floating ghostly face would appear from the dark background having bright eyes and pointing nails. I don’t know I can’t stop imagining all scary things in midst of darkness. That’s why I always sleep with my mom. But after scaring imagination I think, all the time and always scared of is ‘Nothing’ present in the darkness. <b>What am I afraid of ?</b> I fear 'Nothing'. I have always saved myself from watching any horror movie but still, why do I allow myself to believe in such imagination, from where does it come from?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 19px; line-height: 20px;">I have often heard '<i>Fear is a state of Mind', 'It isn't real'</i> and recently Will Smith in his latest flick was heard saying that '<i>Fear is a choice</i>'. And I agree to above all. Fear be it due to </span><span style="font-size: 19px; line-height: 20px;">future uncertainty or of results or of failure (a few very common)</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"> stops people from exploiting opportunities; fear wears down physical vitality, makes us sick; fear shortens life and closes mouth when heart wants to speak. It is one powerful force. Nowadays it’s more of psychological. Tension, stress, panic, embarrassment all stem from mismanaged, negative imagination. I wanted to work against my fears as well and started researching about it. And then I found something, it said, “Action cures fears.”</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I decided to apply this on myself. I started sleeping alone. I started going for lonely walks in evening. Initially it was tough, but steadily believe me, it worked :). Now I have conquered almost fifty percent of my scary thoughts. They don’t invade me when I go to sleep. The way when we face tough problems, we stay stalled in the mud of uncertainty until we take positive actions to come out of it. The same way recipe to conquer fear will require action. Be it any kind of fear, right actions can kill it. People having adventurous hobbies are always daring and confident. People who write never fear of running out of idea. Actions bring in with it few remarkable appreciative qualities. I am waiting for the day when I would ask myself the same old question. </span><b style="font-size: 19px; line-height: 20px;">What am I afraid of </b><span style="font-size: 19px; line-height: 20px;">? The time when I would tell myself bravely I fear 'Nothing at all'.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Take a step. Confront your fear, kill it, before it does more harm.</span></div>

They smudge their hands with all sorts of colourful or say grey stuff they eye on, you make a move to stop them and they do it again and again. They like to explore everything in terms of taste, touch and weight. Remember the ‘Boo Boo’ adorable baby (I don’t remember his name, his booing act was sho cute that I refer him that way ;)) from movie ‘Baby’s day out’ who almost explored the whole city on knees and was so happy and lovable all the time. Till the end of film, he was one strong n healthy booming baby…</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">But it happens only in movies, in reality kids (let’s spare babies) don’t have that much strength and stamina… so many viruses and microbes are flying homeless that with every breath, each one of us who is weak in health and exposed to germs is vulnerable let alone kids which are at highest risks, as we know their immunity is in developing phase. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Immunity. What is immunity? Let me quote myself years back, when I was teaching science to my younger brother, when he was a kid:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">“The immune system comprises of antigens which are like many superheroes protecting body from evil attacks of germs, all the time… protecting us from diseases.”</span> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">My bother instantly challenged my definition “But where are they before we fall ill? We should never fall sick, because superheroes never fail, right?”</span></blockquote>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I had to pause and rephrase myself to explain him at that time. But now when I am writing this article I realize it is not our body superheroes who fail, we kill our natural superheroes (unintentionally) due to negligence, bad lifestyle and habits. </span><span style="font-size: 19px; line-height: 20px;">As we all know prevention is better than cure, working towards a stronger immunity system would be a better choice, isn't it? </span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Our children learn what we preach. </span><i style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Child is a father of man</i><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">, he would grow into what he learns. If the child is taught how immune system can be held strong, the half of the battle against diseases would be won. Inculcating good habits is responsibility of each one of us - mainly the elders. I jot down few basic habits out of my knowledge (whatever little I have!!) or experience or whatever I have learnt from my elder friends and my own mother. Little lifestyle changes and society as in whole can for sure can bring in the strong healthy India into reality (Let me be optimistic!!):</span></div>

makes me so nervous. My heart skips a beat when I see
her this way. I am scared to give her a bath”, Meera holding her angel
in her arms, looking into her sparkling wet eyes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

do cry while bathing. So, stop worrying.” Says not so sure Karan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> “Hmmm… ”, Meera nods

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> “Wait, before you give
her a bath…” Karan interrupts, he walks out of the room and comes back holding
a bottle in hand, “Ya! Take this and give her a good baby tender massage, it’s
a baby oil... take it.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Meera looks at her husband astoundingly and looks at the brand
of the oil and speaks all puzzled, “You are a good father… but tell me, why
only a Dabur Lal Tail? Why a massage anyway?”</span></div>

start from the basic … Why is massage important at all?” Karan questions and
without waiting for a reply continues, “<span style="background: white;">Massaging
lays a strong foundation </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">for</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"> babies<span style="background: white;">, helping them to grow and flourish.</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"> </span><span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Massaging helps the baby gain weight, makes bones &
muscles strong, relieves colic and other digestive problems, improves sleep
pattern, stimulates blood circulation, flushes away metabolic waste and
improves skin disorders. So one can say it’s essential for their initial
growth. Not only that, massaging deepens bonding between the child and
mother by strengthening the attachment, in all it’s a magical exercise keeping mother
and child happy… </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 19px; line-height: 20px;">relaxes mind… which is essence of Ayurveda…. Balance of mind and body</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">”</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Karan continued saying, “Oil makes massaging
easier , If you question why only this Ayurvedic oil, we have oils like
coconut, mustard, peanut, olive oil… but these can be contaminated I mean not
safe for baby use, will not be suitable for tender skin of new-borns… so they
are big NO NO but Ayurvedic oil such as Dabur Lal Tail has not only qualities
of India’s magical herbs, the treasure of Ayurveda but it’s been clinically
proven that babies who were massaged daily with Dabur Lal Tail in comparison
with no massage experienced 2 times faster increase in weight and height.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"> It has the traditional wise ingredients. And dear it’s
not just me who says this but each parent out there trusts this brand.… what else should I say?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Karan pauses and continues, “Choosing the
right products is essential and it is a parent’s responsibility, I don’t want us
to take any chance… it’s only the beginning, as adults we can try different
products on ourselves and can drop conclusions on our own… which one is best,
and which is not reliable but my dear in case of a baby or toddler when they
are growing mentally and physically very fast we need to very thoughtful be it
any sort of baby product…. We can’t just blindly pick anything. You know my
aunt is Ayurveda Doctor and from my own childhood I have seen the power of Ayurveda
not once or twice but many times… From past 5000 years Ayurveda has been
blessing us with its treasure and knowledge….”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">“I agree on that… we can’t take chances… but
do you mean to say other products and brands which don’t use natural elements in
their products are not good?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">“That is not I’d like to emphasis on but I’d
to add up more. The modern medical science and the lifestyle which is advised
by doctors comes from the Vedas, World now is recognising the strength of this holistic
science of medicine… </span><span style="background: #FFFEEF; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">In 16th Century Europe,
Paracelsus, who is known as the father of modem Western medicine, practiced and
propagated a system of medicine which borrowed heavily from Ayurveda, we indians don't realise how much we can learn and gain from our ancient sciences... Its we give it a thought.</span><span style="background-color: #fffeef; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">"</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">“Karan… people are giving importance to Ayurveda
treatments even adults go for oil spas for relaxation, I don’t doubt Ayurveda can
play important role in child’s development, my Dadiji used to always emphasis on
age old practices as she believed nowadays due to modernisation we are,
forgetting the true right ways of living… Ayurveda is future hope” Meera smiles
meekly and adds up,” It’s good to see you like this, a caring concerned father, How could you manage speaking all this in breath???” </span></div>

praise for one true legend you are. So enthusiastic and full of life and being
one of the busiest actors at the age of 71. I can’t hold myself from wondering,
from where do you get so much passion and inspiration? Leaving the age of
retirement far behind, it seems you will redefine the age of retirement!! Wait, entertainment industry has no retirement age! Sic!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

teachers influence our life the most in our growing days, moulding our thoughts,
making right curves. Filling the blank pages of our mind with best they know. They

go to school.The silly imagination!!! I wouldn't be wrong
if I say most of our best memories are of childhood and somewhere or the other
few are attached to our teachers who played a great part in shaping us. I
remember it was my teacher who helped with my first dancing steps. For annual
function in each school there is always at least one show where nursery kids
perform. Because who doesn't love little kiddos shaking their legs off tune!! I recall how hard we used to
practice, I was a flower and all I had to do was wave, wave with rhythm... All I would do was sit smile and wave or stand, bend with music smile and wave.. Since
then I never left an opportunity for performing on stage be it dancing or
acting. Experiences and memories just got better.</span></div>

horizons and enable us to expand our knowledge. Subconsciously, we emulate

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Like each one of you I owe a lot to my school teachers. I
was lucky to have some of the best teachers. I would disagree to my parents but
would never to my teachers. I always admired the way they dressed, smiled and
taught us the difficult topics with ease. When I was in third standard I had
once failed to do H.W., as a result I had to face the ‘agony’ of our teacher Neela
Shukla Ma’am… she punished me and my fellow classmates on our same mistakes, it
was embarrassing and I started to be dislike her or say hated her and to save
myself from facing the tragedy again I made sure I never missed my <i>H.W</i>. We
passed to fourth grade. One fine day during lunch time I was hopping in the
corridor to reach my class and banged Neela Shukla Ma’am
I wished her with an apologetic smile, she caught my hand and took me inside her class. I got worried! We were not allowed to run in corridors. She introduced me to the class and all were smiling. I was more scared! They
all clapped. I felt like a joke! But to my surprise, it was not the first time kids had heard my name. I had earned a good name and was being praised for being a good student. She had even named one girl by my name or may be its just the fragment of my imagination or may be she did in real!!?? I jumped out of the class and shared my joy
with my friends. I was too happy. Her punishments worked in right way. She liked this student I had become. Since
then I didn’t <a href="http://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2534421198962998260"></a><a href="http://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2534421198962998260"></a><a href="http://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2534421198962998260"></a><a href="http://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2534421198962998260"></a><a href="http://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2534421198962998260"></a><a href="http://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2534421198962998260"></a>hate</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"> any teacher, except one!</span><br />

death. </span><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Some known personalities we know were

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">I
sometimes wonder about the teachers of people such as Abraham Lincoln, Arya
Bhatt, Ashoka the great, Mahatma Gandhi and the like. Are these great
personalities outcome of their own intellect and talent? Or they were inspired
by their teachers to achieve success and glory? Does teachers have the rare
quality of turning dust into gold? As an answer to these questions I quote what
</span><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Italian astronomer and mathematician Galileo expressed,

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Those from the 1950s will speak fondly of a world that revolved
around this gadget it brought news from corners of the world to door step. Easily
available source of information and melody. The device with small knob navigated
through frequency chart, is now replaced by smarter and smaller gadgets. Let gone
transistor radio, these days listening to radio isn’t preferred. Radio allows a
medium of entertainment which permits millions of people to enjoy same joke at
same time, yet it remains lonesome (Yea yea.. TV does it too :P) However it will be part of lovely memories
for many people. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Remember when photography wasn’t easy, the roll films were
pushed forward and more pressure was applied to button to capture precious
moments. Roll films were bought one day before festival or family vacation and
guarded from excited children so that they didn’t click and finish a roll
capable of 30 odd photos. Poses and lights were timed perfect. Rolls were
printed and those photos decorated albums and walls. Each photo had different
story to tell. (We all know the importance of memories :P) Now when photography is digitalis-ed, pics are clicked in
hundreds and viewed immediately, the importance of clicks has reduced, or increased is still a question ?<o:p></o:p></span><br />

song would mean over using those three buttons – Play, Pause, and Rewind. These
are even used for making lamp shades or wall hangings creatively as no one
