Every child is Unique - Beware Parents

A Day before yesterday, I celebrated my fifteenth wedding anniversary. Ah. What an exciting day it was.... It brought me back the memories of my marriage with my beautiful wife viju. She has been my strength all throughout my life so far. She taught me 'what caring is all about'. As far as I am concerned every day is a wedding day as long as she is with me.

We were greeted by all my well wishers. I arranged for an evening party in which all my friends had attended with their family whole heartedly. Usually I engage the children with some fun games. This time I wanted to do it differently. So I prepared a small questionnaire and asked them to write their answers. The questions were prepared in such a way to findout the kind of family environment they have and how much they love their parents. Few questions and astonishing answers are written here.
1. Marriage date and day of their parents - All the children answered correctly
2. The latest gift they received from their parents - All correct answers
3. Do you want to celebrate the wedding day of your parents? All answered "Yes"
Some interesting reasons:
  • Parents will feel happy
  • I was the only person missing in the marriage album, I want to see it again and again
  • To celebrate with parents
  • They are so kind to me
  • They only brought me up

4. What could be your gift to your parents?

  • A kiss with love and affection
  • A card made by me
  • To fulfill their dream of me becoming IIT an

All the answers were so natural and touching my heart. As parents, Do we really understand them properly? This was the question came to mind. We usually expect our children to excel in every aspect of their (our) activity. In the way, we forget to notice their love and affection. They need our love always and they want it to be expressed better. Can we reciprocate?

The Garden Fire

Image
Sundays sometimes make you lazy. You would like to do many things but endup doing nothing.The whole day would be passed without doing anything worthfully. But, ofcourse, trivial works such as cleaning your wardrobe, small repair jobs like, tightening the screws of your cycle seat, lubricating the scooter, door hinges etc. would be carried out without much fuss. I just looked out at the garden. It was untidy. Lot of trashes ( the once ornamental stuff of trees, now fallen leaves) covered the garden area. I decided to clean it and succeeded. After an hour of sweating, I dumped all the garbage and set fire on it. What a beautiful view!. I glanced, then stared at the flame. It was blazing. I felt a sense of pride in my mind. "Ah, How brilliant is the fire that I have set". I just sat down and looked it until all the garbage is burnt. My thoughts turned inside. Just setting fire to the material waste had given me so much satisfaction. We have dumped so much of trash in our mind in...

Dharbhai - An article by TRS Iyengar

Image
This article is on one of the practices widely used by Indian Brahmins all over using a Holy Grass named Dharbham or Dharbai.In all functions, auspicious or inauspicious, a performing person needs to wear a ring made of this Dharbham. But many have lost the reason of why it is to be used in the first place. What I learnt from my father is proved to be accurately correct by a Medicine Practitioner. A Doctor named Sadhashiv Rao, once visited my home. When the topic turned to many subjects, I needed to tell him about the Holy Grass namedDharbham. When I told him about the usage and the values, he could not just believe my words. So, he took out a bunch of the Dharbham from me, went straight to the clinic to take an x-ray of his palm, by covering his hand with the Dharbham. To his utter surprise, he found that the grass absorbed about 60% of the radiation! When the so powerful X-ray radiation can be absorbed by the Holy Grass,why can it not absorb the ill radiations spread over the atmosph...
