GirlFriends

Last night I got a lovely SMS from a dear friend or should I say, Lost and found sister from the Kumbh ka mela -Kanta ,and I promised her that I would put it in my blog- here goes -

'Here's one for us girls -

" I look at my friends , then I look at me

Without my friends where would i be?

My friends

My sisters

My shadows

My world

Where would I be without the girls

Giggles and tears,

Smiles and Laughs

Late nite text and photographs

We'll be there together until our last day,

Best girlies for ever just wont fade away"

I felt so nostalgic when i read this....It is so true of me and the girlfriends i have acquired over the years. We are all unique, in all shapes and sizes, spread across the world.........but bonded by a common love - the love of life, our sense of values, passion for what we do, our dislike of mediocrity and wanting to make a difference to things that we touch at home and outside................

So here is praying to God that we are always there for each other and together in the celebration of life.

Being a Mother

Being a Mother This is a truth in my life that is larger than life itself..........you see, I am Mama not only for my two children but I have an extended family of bacchas where I teach and where I work and where I worked and bacchas who have worked with me. Amazing na, but I cannot put a number to it. but one thing is sure, i have learnt so much and am an absolute believer in past life and Karma more so than before.Let me explain - It is often said that what you do in this birth shall be returned to you in this birth itself, Do good and you are bound to find that coming back to you in this life many times over and vice versa. I was a half believer and behaved as I wanted with my mother, poor thing she was always at the recieving end of my tantrums and ways. My answer to her simple and well meaning questions would be vague answers that left her exasperated...If she asked What time I would be back from wherever I was going, i would always answer well I will be back home only mama and where else would i go? I now know what she felt as my son is a natural at this...I hate it when my kids fuss over food, not listen to me and take me for granted. Didn't I do that to Mum when I was younger?What got me thinking about this was the phone call from mamaji when my son was born - 'Now you know what pains your mum took to get you into the world'? Well even though that was 16 years ago, I think about it a lot. I also love my mother more now as I undrestand her better and why she was as she was.....well she hasn't changed ( I still get scolded for coming late or not keeping in touch, or not being organised) but i do not react as i would have many years ago. I understand completely where she is coming from. I often see her smile when I am trying to conclude an argument with the children on some issue and I feel that she knows exactly how i am feeling...................It is really a wonderful feeling being a mother end of the day, I have also learnt that there is no perfect solution and no set way when dealing with children and the only thing that helps is patience.........(I keep praying for it and god is generous) though sometimes I don't seem to find where it is.God must have given me the extended family to spread this message of love and adopt and be adopted by the many souls. My extended family too leans on my broad shoulders and expects the ocassional hugs and awaits some whipping too......but what keeps me going is the love that is showered on me by one and all. Here's wishing a god bless to all of us and may we be together for many years to come.
