Mother's Day - An ode to all the mother's

A mother plays huge roles in a child's development as they are the first educators and mentors. The roles be that of a caregiver, health care provider, child's teacher in every sense of the way, the emotional nurturer, relationship coach and soo much more that is beyond words. 


I have been raised by a strong mom who despite her own health issues,  has always been totally, 1000 percent there for me no matter what.  But while that remains the same when I became a mom, the one thing, out of many that changed was, we started giving priority to our needs as well and rightly so

Well, it came about with its own set of  learnings and challenges. I remember working in afternoon shift during my daughter preschool days and not being able to give her time thru weekdays. I shared the same with my daughter's class teacher n still remember her asking me " Are you wasting time ? Are you going for parties ? Are you unhappy ? " And if the answer to all the above questions is NO, then you must continue working without guilt.

Extremely happy to see new mom's who feel that their child should know that their mom works from day 1 and is creating immense value thru the same 

Now, this one is for all mom's out there; our kids don't want a perfect mom, they sure do want a happy mom and a guilt free mom. 

And I am truly proud of many things in my life, but nothing beats being a mother. My children always bring out the best in me (hmmm... Sometimes the not soo good too 🙂)

In DEEP GRATITUDE

Image
 The woman that walked in felt chained down, afraid , fearful, confused, super exhausted, unhappy, heavy, worn and depleted of any life force. Anyway out of it, seemed impossible to achieve  But all thanks to her great good fortune, in walked in another woman who with her humility, knowledge, expertise, sincerity, genuine concern, objectivity, understanding, completely non judgmental attitude and a very  structured approach, held her hand and helped her to move forward. The woman walking out is actually feeling ok with all the experiences and challenges that she had to face, is ready to learn from them and move forward. She is also feeling unchained, free and open to be herself and excited at her second innings. While words are truly not enough to express her gratitude, that's all she has at the moment with a promise that she will make herself and you proud in times to come ... " I want to say thank you to the rare few individuals in my life who have listened without judg...

Introverts vs Extroverts

Image
We all have different personality types which are not limited or restricted to being an introvert or an extrovert. But just to make it simple to understand, let's broadly curb it to down to these two personalities. While growing up also, I would be mostly happy being myself. Introverts are definately not anti-social. I feel they are just not social enough and they are happy that way.  Knowing myself very well, let me try and burst a few myths about introverts.  1) They are unfriendly and like I said earlier anti social. I can certainly vouch for the fact that they are neither. They prefer time alone but that does not make them unfriendly at all. 2) It's difficult to get to know them. That is truly not the case, but introverts prefer not to open themselves with all who prefer to small talk. They have meaningful deeper friendships and connections with a handful of people who know them quite well. 3) When one thinks of a leader , who would you imagine ? That's right ..an extro...

Disrespect

 I am sure everyone is aware of what disrespect means but just to break it down; disrespect is  1) to treat without respect 2) show or express contempt or rudeness 3) low regard for someone or something. 4) to disrespect someone is to act in an insulting way towards them. 5) It is actually the exact opposite of respect by acting rude, impolite or offensive. I am sure all of us have witnessed it somewhere / sometime.Being disrespected is definately not a part of healthy relationships. Let me give you an example of disrespect  in a form of put down. Radha and Ashok have been married for a while and Ashok knows that Radha always wanted to become a doctor but could not for some reasons. While they are out for dinner with the extended family, Ashok says a mean joke suggesting Radha was not smart enough to become a doctor which causes Radha to be embarrassed. (Now simply replace becoming a doctor with anything else). And that's a put down which in turn is huge part of disrespec...
