Smile

I came across this nice poem and thought this would be a good start to the amazing week ahead for all of us!!





Smile


Smiling is infectious
You catch it like the flu
When someone smiled at me today
I started smiling too
I walked around the corner
And someone saw me grin
When he smiled I realised
I had passed it on to him
I thought about the smile
And then realised its worth
A single smile like mine
Could travel round the earth
So if you feel a smile begin
Don't leave it undetected
Start an epidemic
And get the world infected.

A letter to CFWDC

-
Dear Careless Four Wheeler Drivers’ Community (CFWDC), How are you all? I never get a chance to say hi to any of you when we meet in the morning or evening or night and so I thought I would write to you. Just like you all, I drive a car to work, to market, to drop or pick up my daughter, basically everywhere. And anywhere I go I am sure I will meet at least one of your tribe members. You definitely have a large community. Actually when I see you driving, I wonder from where did you get your driver’s license? Because when I got my license there were certain rules that I was taught and asked to follow throughout my driving life. But your driving school (if you even went to one) or the driving officer who issued you a license (if you have one) seem to have told you something else. So I thought I would ask you directly if I am doing something wrong. So.... when I see a long queue to cars ahead of me in a narrow road, waiting… I wait too. I don't drive past the queue to go ahe...

Expectations

-
Today morning a phone call left me feeling bitter and hurt. I immediately went to my source of comfort, my best friend and my husband, Sanket, who also happens to be a Life Coach . And I told him what had happened and what I was feeling. To which he just smiled and said, ‘You felt all that because you had expectations. Leave all your expectations and you will always be happy.’ It was right, I called the person with certain expectations and they were not met. And so I felt hurt. But then as always I had more questions and doubts. For me to be happy, I would stop expecting from people. But what about the expectations others have from me? To which he asked me to apply my own principle - Don't do anything because you HAVE to. Do it only when you WANT to.

Wandering mind!!

-
Our mind wanders so much. Not that I noticed it today but I wanted to share something with all of you. Something that occured to me when my mind was wandering around. To start with let me tell you how and why the wandering started. Of late I have started reading a lot of nonfiction books. But during this lockdown I didn't want to read any nonfiction but a fictional book. Unfortunately we don't have a huge collection of fiction and whatever we have I have already read it. So I got our Kindle to check if I have something that I wanted to re-read. And then I saw the book - Marley & Me by John Gregon. This is when my mind stopped being grumpy about not having any new fictional book and started travelling back to the time when I had first read this book. In 2008-09 we were in Winnipeg, Canada. The one thing that I still miss from Winnipeg is the huge public library. I read most books during my time in Winnipeg. I read Marley & Me, first time this year. People who know me wo...
