Time Really Flies!

Time really flies! It was just sixteen years back when Shantanu (our son) was born, we could hear his first cry, started crawling and his first step towards his grand-parents.

Time really flies! I do remember the first day of his play-school when he was so reluctant and hesitant. He gradually adjusted himself and started pestering my Dad for all the candies & chocolates. He used to get away with all his demands of getting a specific breed of mango in the scorching heat of 120 degrees Fahrenheit.

Time really flies! Shantanu’s act of posing like a ‘Hanuman ji’ still gives ripples and his dance moves were real funny (maybe only to his parents!)

And now, he is a grown up boy, responsible, normally quiet except with his friends!!! He has taken a toll on himself while adjusting to his Dad’s movement from India – adjusted well to his new friends, excelled in his sports and academic fields and made all of us proud.

Time really flies! He has passed his driving test and all set to have his own driving license. It’s a pleasure to see him growing by leaps and bounds and I’m sure all of us will pass through this phase and enjoy the same.

Well, we all strappingly believe that “CHILD IS THE FATHER OF MAN”

The Art Of Being Positive!

Birds were twittering in the skies and the resonance of the leaves was comforting! While I peeped outside my windowpane, the emission of the sun gave me an intuition of the day being optimistic, encouraging and affirmative. I could enjoy the flora and fauna, the foliage and the blessedness of the atmosphere. I could listen to the wings flutter and saw a group of birds land on my bird feeder, skirmishing and struggling to peep and initiate eating their chow. WOW! What a sight and what a blend of beauty, exquisiteness and magnificence.

While sipping my coffee and looking for my television remote, I could sense the squirrels on my deck attempting to leap towards the birds, which petrified them and they flew away tweeting all the way.
I switch on the television and toggling between FOX, CNN, NBC – I get to ABC and listen in to the Iraq atrocities, updates on Jackson trial, the gigantic blaze in Highland MI, Pistons losing to Pacers and finally…the advertisements on Coors Light and Auto Glass Manufacturers. I switch off the television – get up from my love seat - finish off my coffee – remove the coffee stain from the table – take a momentary look on the tree just outside my deck which has been standing tall, firm and unyielding since the last 6 years irrespective of the four seasons in Michigan.

This is not my archetypal day (a couple of hours…may be) but this happens with each and every individual who experiences not only the passive, negative and downbeat sides of his/her life but the optimistic, affirmative and upbeat phases also.

I have learnt the art of being positive in the last 10 years as, Positive thinking won't let you do anything but it will let you do everything better than negative thinking will.
