Faith is the KEY!!

Kuch rishtey dil ke hote hain,
Aur Kuch rishtey dil se hote hain....


Nothing like faith between friends .............

My first chocolate to the first child in the queue at Sri Acharya Rakum School For The Blind was on behalf of my friend. Still remember my friend's words 'don't give a box to me. Give on my behalf at Sphoorti/NGO'. I did it last year. I also thought of these words as I did it this year, and will do every year. It's my faith in my friend's words. It's my faith in my years given to this friendship. My faith will live till I live. Sow Faith and Reap A Hope. As believed by me - some people make a place in your life. But few make a room in your heart. Trust me - if someone makes a place in your heart , you have to think of heart transplant to move on!!...LOL...and you will never opt for a transplant - as the more you go deep into it...the more it hurts and the more you start liking it!!

Nothing like faith between a mom and a daughter......


I told mom - 'I do not want bday wishes, maa. I know - this day means a lot to you as you delivered me. I want to be away for a while with myself. No wishes. No messages. No FB. No whatsapp. No skype. How long, I don't know maa but I want to be just with myself - chanting 'om', working out, writing haiku and reading books. I have stopped believing in things, events and people.'

My mom answered, 'Just do what gives you happiness. I will not ask any questions but I trust you.'

I was so much at peace as my mom understood my thoughts. She gave me space for myself. This year - no bday month celebration on my blog but my mother never questioned me. And, maybe it will be every year the same way. It's all about faith that helps the understanding to grow....

Nothing like faith in God .....

Since the age of 12  - I tie rakhi to Lord Krishna. When I got married, I packed all rakhi (s) in a box. My mom asked where am I taking these rakhi (s). And i answered, 'my new home'. All these years - i add a rakhi...Virgo (S) are like that. We collect memories. And I never know - one day Lord Krishna might come...it's all a game of faith in life.

If you have faith then you will understand - 'People come in one's life to give happiness; people go from one's life to give happiness'.

Amen!!
