Dear Maa,

I have been thinking all these days about the best gift to give you but you are so special that i couldnot find anything that would come even close to you and hence decided to my first love as a gift. As i sit down to pen down something i just let the emotions in my heart flow out to express my feelings the best way.

I am going to keep this one short and simple but definitely want to tell you how much i love,respect and care for everything you have done for me.As i take a quick glimpse of my life so far it has indeed been a journey that i will remember and it has been so due to your undeterring support,encouragement to every move of mine.I can't find a better occasion and moment to say this as i truly feel it is

You who have made me what i am today.I may sound cliched in saying so but sometime i like being so.I can't thank you enough for infusing in me values and morals that are coming of great help as i live life independently and solitary in this foreign land.Indeed life away from home has not been an easy transition for me but every lesson that i learnt through you prepared me for the same.You have been extremely harsh with me but i thank you for those times taught me to relish merry moments.You have inspired me so greatly as not just a mother,teacher but above all as an individual that U will always be my mentor.You have pulled me strong through rough situations and stood by me like a rock during every hardship and i can't really express gratitude and make the whole act look wee.You have motivated me every day through your writings and faith in me.You have taken every effort to make me what you dreamt of being which in itself is an altruist act and love seeing my growth.You have been so modest and humble in accepting that U learnt life through me,which is my privilege and honor to be born to u.You have nurtured feelings of goodwill,positivity and optimism so much that negatives stay at the circumference.You have prayed for hours together just to make sure that i can give my best in every act.You have been so selfless that i have no words to put them down.You are so youthful and try to keep up with the pace of our generation.You have no idea how much i have missed you in the last few months but never made it verbal as i wanted to put across my strongest stead before U which is also a lesson i learnt through you.I have had the fortune to be able to explore newness in my life and can never thank U and DAD enough for the same.

It is indeed my honor to be born to both of U.Even as u keep iterating the fact that u did nothing beyond your duty i saw it as acts of selflessness,love,magnanimity,humility.I have chosen to just focus on your contribution even though i know that Dad too has a big role to play in the whole process but this is my dedication to YOU Maa and have reserved something more to add for Dad...

I am so high on emotions right now that i cant write any further and hence choose to call you right away as it is almost 12 in INDIA and hope that I can be a great daughter.Thanks Maa...Love you a lot for everything.....
Happy Birthday Maa!!!Hope You have a great birthday!!!

Love,

Shru(Kalyani)

This blog is coming after quite a while as the last two weeks saw me trying to bounce back to routine after the very refreshing spring break.The spring break saw my days filled with joy,fun which took me to a world with no work and transcended all boundaries of mundane routines.It was such a welcome change to my otherwise monotonous life that i left no stone unturned in optimizing every moment of the break.I came to realize that sometimes things just need to happen and the turn out to be the best when they occur out of turn.
Life so far has been a very enriching and fulfilling in every sense.I have had the fortune to experience magical moments which have redefined my purpose of existence.As days slip by wisdom dawns upon me and truth brushes against me. It has indeed been through accidental situations that i have learnt the most valuable lessons.It takes a lot of insight to be able to decode the meaning behind unprecedented events,but it is these events that alter the course of life greatly.My life has been a perfect mix of unplanned things falling in place for the best to unveil.It takes hours of meticulous planning to execute a task and a few seconds to destroy the same.Analogously my life has been built by such events occurring out of turn but leaving behind memories and relationships to burgeon keeping all negatives at bay.Life has really taught me a lot more than i can put down in this blog but this attempts at bringing forth the driving force of my life-events.My whole life stands testimony to the fact that best moments have occurred as a consequence of chance.The people whom i have closely associated with are all a matter of sheer chance and these are those individuals who really make a difference to my life.As i prepare myself to witness many more such fun-filled chances that will certainly contribute positively towards my growth.At this juncture i would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the ALL MIGHTY for making my life so very different,and motivating me to look beyond the superficial film of life.
This is also the concluding post to my LIfe so far series which has been a success for me as a blogger as i have personally connected with each post and tried to present my honest views.I have enjoyed penning down every word in this series and have seen my life with greater acuity.During the journey of my life this stage of my life so far series has introduced me to people and ideas that will stay with me for life.This post bids adieu to strings of posts and promises to bring a better post with sequels in the next.I sign off on a very optimistic note thanking all my followers and readers for their words of encouragement that makes me complete as a blogger!!

Just as we seem to be conquering the world with technology somewhere we are put back in place by the force of nature.It is this power that makes us ram upon the small little moments that make a difference to our lives.All our life is spent in pursuit of chasing our dreams and doing so we tend to overlook the small little things that define us.Life is too short to be chased it needs to be played,cherished and enjoyed so that it turns out to be a pleasure more than a struggle.May sound very idealistic at this stage but these thoughts are currently flashing through my mind after Mexico was hit by an earthquake that measure 6.9 on the Richter scale.The very thought of being in the radius of about 100 miles from the epicenter is scary in itself.The land seemed to just vibrate for about 30 -60 seconds putting almost every human feeling it a bunch of nerves.As humans we have taken things for granted and so is the case with nature.The focus of this blog is not to bring about environmental consciousness but to bring forth the value of small moments that play a vital role in each of our lives.
Life is not easy for anyone of us because if it were so it would be taken for granted.Each attempt to succeed is proceeded by several failed attempts and were it not for these we would have never seen the best within us.The crux of growth lies in taking into account the lessons that moments of our life deliver.Each moment of our life is scripted the way it is with a purpose and we need to identify.We need to look beyond the mundane and trivial things that surround us and proceed towards self improvement.
I personally feel that the only way we can make a difference to the world is by making it within ourselves.I believe that the only way we can be receptive to change is by being proactive.There have been small,trivial incidents which have gone a long way in teaching me the most important lessons.It is not an easy task to be able to absorb because it requires a lot of effort to be able to see beyond "I me and myself".Today as i sit down yet again to express my feelings i m hit by a deep thought about life and its evanescence.This makes my resolve even stronger to live a more content, happier and an active life wherein each day of life adds meaning to my own existence.I am closing this post and look forward to bringing in something new with my next....
