  • To leave is easy

    But to stay is tough. To endure is courageous. To remain committed is brave.

    Because there is no newness, there is little room for surprise and there isn’t an element of thrill that might be unexplored. Unlike the early days where everything is rosy, real life is a riot of all hues. Some vivid, others sombre and a few downright nasty.

    Best to keep your rosy glasses on for optimal experience – as they say happiness is me!

  • Discipline or Motivation

    Classic chicken and egg case – what comes first motivation or discipline. If you have been procrastinating, you would say motivation as it’s been evading you for a while.

    While if you have been inconsistently awaiting results, you would say discipline as it might hold the key to your success.

    Either way is good, as long as it gets you out of inaction and inches you to get going at your goals. Remember it’s not either or. As discipline minus motivation shall only lead to boredom. And motivation minus discipline would add to your pile of unfinished goals. A healthy dose of both is ideal!

  • Can we love twice?

    ‘We only live once, we only love once’ went the famous dialogue from a romantic love story. Read along to prove its untrue and yes you can learn to love multiple times over.

    How do u define what love is to your kid? Is it an overwhelming sense of affection, or is it a strong sense of attachment or is it a sense of deep concern? There is no one feeling which can describe it accurately. And no one way of expressing one’s love.

    When you feel a strong sense of affection towards your baby, it is nothing but the feeling of love. You show it by your actions of taking utmost care of it, doing all you can to keep it safe and away from any harms.

    Or is love the deep sense of concern you shower on your lover? Wherein you can or cannot care by your actions but go all lengths to express your concern for their well being. Where all you can do is communicate in formal ways and let them drive their own well being.

    Or is love the charged level of enthusiasm which makes you spend hours watching football? Or the deep belief in climate change or Downs syndrome which drives you to go lengths to give your time to support the cause.

    Or is love the passion you express for your spouse or partner? The sense of unbroken commitment, lifelong fidelity and infinite companionship which makes you commit to them.

    So to me all forms of love are true, pure and sincere. And yes you can harbour each of them in your mighty little heart for your loved ones – all at the same time.
