Bridge Soul

     Yesterday there was a power cut for 5 minutes around 10 PM at my place. My 5 year old son was playing at neighbour's home. As soon as lights suddenly turned off, the very next moment my son's thought came to my mind. Although he was safe, I know in the dark he must have needed me by him. I searched for my phone on nearby table, and in the mobile light rushed out of my home looking for my son. Luckily he was playing outside in the garden area and he had worn a t-shirt with letters written in green radium in the centre of the t-shirt. I had no problem figuring him out and immediately hugged him. He was not crying but I felt he needed that hug.      After five minutes when power was back, I told him that I can find you even in the dark as you have light in the centre of your t-shirt. So if at all there is a power cut again, don't get frightened. To which he replied everyone has a light in their heart. I was shocked....

Drawn by the words,  nothing else but words.  Give me flowers,  impress me with gifts,  but what strikes the most,  are the words in tags.  Open sky and the moon so bright,  fingers entwined and you so near,  heart sings million melodies,  which you utter close to my ear.  Your eyes communicate  sometimes more than words,  reason is the words you said  or the ones you hold to express.  The words you hold to express  reach to me unbelievably,  they are not just alphabets  they are thoughts with intensity.  Seems like words also  have their own aura,  they create the magic  and you ride tora tora.  And there are words  that I keep safe with me,  like a super locker  with precious jewelry.  There are times  when I open these locks,  to unlock my happiness  by revisiting those words.  Words make the books,...

 Tried updating this as a status on FB. But then I felt it won't be possible to accommodate this topic in a small space. So opting for the very old and very own approach – blog.           Disclaimer: Content of this blog is solely a result of my understanding, experiences and discussions with like-minded people. Any co-relation with any type of study or survey is merely a coincidence.           First of all, what is soulmate? How would I know if somebody is my soulmate or not? Is it always one or can it be multiple?           As per my experience, soulmates can be multiple and it can be of the same gender or the opposite. Now how would I know if someone is my soulmate or not?    A place where you want to go, and want to go very often. A place where there is no compulsion, no boundaries. A place which is your choice, and you are not going for some return and yet receive so much. A ...

      It's about last 10 years and 10 Kgs I have gained in past 10 years. From 50 to 60. Round figure.  And if I continue to gain at this rate, my figure will soon be round. I was 57-58 before 3 months. Probably I have consumed extra aamras (mango pulp) this season. Or may be due to extreme  heat in the climate in the past couple of months, my body water is evaporated, so I look same from outside but my density in increased and so is weight (Bad PJ). I can wait for 2-3 months more and check the progress/regress in the digital weighing machine (You get difference in grams here. So exciting..!!).           I was just thinking how I am changed in these 10 years. If you look at every individual day, life seems to be the same. But when you take a holistic view of a decade, picture seems quite different. From giving interviews to taking interviews; from a sophomore to a mother of a nursery going kid, from open to love interests to sealed ha...

કદાચ પહેલી વખત કોઈ લેખ ગુજરાતી મા લખું છું. આમ તો ગુજરાતી નહિ, ગુજરાતી અને English ભેગું છે. 2 કારણ છે: 1) જ્યાં લાગણી અંદર થી આવે ત્યાં માતૃભાષા સારી પડે.જો કે હવે તો માતૃભાષા પણ ક્યાં pure રહી છે? Engineeringના ભણતર ને corporateના cultureપછી ભાષા નું પણ mixer જ થઇ જાય છે.એટલે આ multi-lingual article થવાનો અને 2) મારે જે લખવું છે એના માટે કોઈ English શબ્દો exist કરતા નથી (કોઈક ને પિયર ને સાસરા નું english મળેતો મને ચોક્કસ જણાવવું. હવે મુદ્દાની વાત કરીએ તો વાત છે દીકરી જયારે પિયર જાય છે. હવે દીકરી સાસરે જાય એ તો સમજ્યા પણ પિયર જાય એટલે શું? વાત ત્યારની છે જયારે એક માણસ માટે ઘર એ ઘર નથી રેહતું પણ એનુંય નામ પડી જાય છે. After Marriage જયારે એ ઘર માં જાય, એ ઘર જ્યાં એ જન્મ થી રહી છેએ હવે પિયર બની જાય છે. તો જયારે ઘર એ પિયર ને સાસરા માં convert થઇ જાય ત્યારે કેવું લાગે એની વાત કરીએ. કદાચ personal touch વધારે હશે પણ I guess, Indian societyની મોટા ભાગની છોકરીઓ આની સાથે connect કરી શકશે.મૂંઝવણ ની શરૂઆત તો લગ્ન પેહલા જ થઇ જાય છે જયારે માતા દીકરી ને કેહ કે, 'તારા' ઘ...

    Why do I go to temple? Because going there will rinse off my sins? Will it end my all problems? Will it give me money and make me powerful? Probably No. Probably Yes.     Sometimes when I look at some person, I think would he/she have ever wondered like 'Who am I?', 'Where have I come from?', 'Where will I go?', 'What am I doing?'. Why some are rich and some are poor? Why some are happy go lucky and why some are angry young men? Why there are so many differences in terms of abilities and facilities? Whoever thinks such stupid things like me is shown the gate of temple. It is said that everything is God given. Who is God? The Almighty. The perfect being. You worship Him and He will give you everything you ask for.     Why would he make differences among people? Does he need our attention? That we pray Him and he will give everything we ask for? Is it fair to fear children by His name and stop them doing what we don't like? What is God? Wh...

       27 years, hundreds of months and thousands of days… statistics of my life. But have I lived every moment of my life? Certainly not. It’s not that I have missed breathing in between, but probably even worse than that.       According to Jain philosophy, human life is the rarest of the rare event and you should make every bit of it (I guess that is what every art of living person or a positive thinker would advise us). But sometimes (or most of the time) we forget to live. Now what will I call live? Moments where you can connect to your inner core as if you are with yourself, where you can feel that every cell of your body is alive, when your mind, body and soul becomes one-indifferent element and it adds meaning or understanding or growth to you.       I am in a mood to share my moments where I’ve felt live in my life.     Childhood: Everything my mother said and everything my father brought was of my int...
