Moon - Memories

Today when I was going in and out of my house, I happened to glance at the moon. It has few more days to become a full moon..My memories started running far behind....When I was in my school days, I used to sleep in the first floor of my house....where my grandparents would be.....
My grandfather always used to sleep in a particular place in that big hall...I used to persuade him to move a bit left or right....And sometimes he would give up..... and finally I get my place...It would be around 10.30 pm....I will open up the windows, lie down on the mattress and be waiting... slowly I will drowse off....I will then wake up to see the moon brilliantly shining on the sky amidst the stars....The moment has come....I still remember...... The moment of happiness....The cool breeze coming through the windows.....the moon in the sky and my little big dreams.... I will watch it and watch it and watch it till my eyes drop,the moon moves slowly away from my sight and I keep turning my head to constantly watch it...Hmmmm......What nice feeling to have....
You should have this experience of gazing into the open sky and imagining and dreaming of all nice things in life....
I have read in books that moon rules emotions.....I feel it is true....All these years, whenever I feel down or happy I used to walk in the front of my house thinking of the happenings. suddenly I gaze at the moon and I feel very light...For me it was giving a message " Do not worry, I am there looking after you, I am the proof of all you think and do".....

The moon, like a flower
In heaven's high bower,
With silent delight
Sits and smiles on the night.
- William Blake

Self-pity

I feel I am frequenting the blog whenever I feel sad or down...I will not do it.....I will not post any content trying to gain self-pity.
It is one of the weapons of destructing your self-confidence, image, relationships, health......and what not...
“Self-pity is easily the most destructive of the nonpharmaceutical narcotics; it is addictive, gives momentary pleasure and separates the victim from reality.” - John W. Gardner quotes

My advice----Girls need sisters.....

One of my friends asked me this.. She has a daughter and had second thoughts about having the next child....She just asked me..."what do you think? I want you to tell it, being the only child is very good in many ways!, is it not so,?"
Ok...thank God she asked me.... I am also the only daughter in my home.... I have seen the good and bad of it......I got a chance to tell her my opinion that it is not a very good thing to bring up your child as the only child, that too a girl....here goes the reasons.....

• Girls need bonding.....
• She might not be able to share her true feelings with anyone.....
• When something goes wrong between the parents, she will be the direct victim of it....
• She will not have a chance to know about herself unless "others" comment on them.....
• Unless and until she has true friends.... she will contantly feel lonely........
• Sometimes, jealousy and isolation by the so called "near and dear" ones....
• Even if there is difference of opinion among the sisters at any point of their lives....they will still be there for each other....
• After all girls need girls to gossip, shop and have fun.....

My friend seemed to be convinced......Oh well, if my friend has a second baby... I also have a reason to be proud.....:-)

No one knows better than a sister how we grew up, and who our friends, teachers and favorite toys were. No one knows better than she......Dale V. Atkins
