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

Learnings

At this point of life, I understand
"You always attract what you want. Nothing less or nothing more."

The difference between school and life? In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson - Tom Bodett

Recognition

I have lately started to understand something about human psycology... What everybody needs is attention, recognition and affection.....This is in all areas of a person's life.. professional, social and personal... Of course affection has nothing to do with professionalism and social expectations....but in family and personal relationships it cake make you really worthy.
What does anybody do when they don't like somebody and want to hurt them... They turn blind towards the other persons acheivements, whatever it is...... They make a conscious decision to ignore the other person.....When you are innnocent and you fall prey to such kind of people, you will feel as if you are standing alone in an island.... This is the worst thing which can happen to you... feeling lonely.... What happens when this is repeated to the same person from all sides.... They have two choices....
They tend to go towards people who give them the slightest of attention (even if it is fake) or
they turn cold towards the whole society and star leading a careless life..
They will not know what they are worthy......
Everybody needs somebody to guide them....... How much ever freedom, money and health you have, you cannot accomplish anything if you are not focused.....In order to focus..... you need inspiration.....and encouragement...... You do not know how far encouraging words can take you....If you have a genuine reason to appreciate somebody.. do not hesitate...It can make both very happy...
“Appreciation is a wonderful thing: It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well”-- Voltaire
