Onions.. All of us

-
We are all like onions...
We need to peel the layers, to finally reach the core...
But we weep so much in the process, that we give up midway...

    Thats not always right...
    its just that we dont do it right.
    i think we are more like cabbages, each layer is as fresh as the first and each one smells beautifully fresh!!

Harder

Harder  ~   Becky Hemsley 2023 The harder we love Means the harder we grieve The harder it is To go on when they leave The harder to sleep And the harder to wake To know they’re not here With each breath that we take It’s hard to look forward And hard to look back Stuck in the middle, Imprisoned and trapped Where the harder the darkness The harsher the light, The harsher this world That keeps spinning with life But when that world’s feeling So painful and hard And you can’t imagine Escaping the dark It might help a little To know it’s because The harder we grieve Means the harder we loved

Life Death and the ones left in between

How do you tell a 9 year old that her father is no more.... As adults, most of us grapple with the thought and logic (if any) behind a dear one leaving us... and I was suddenly left wondering what to say to this 9 year old !!! For the first time in a long time, I was left speechless, not because I didn't want to say anything, but simply because I didn't know what to say..

What is the significance of Mother's Day...or Father's Day or Valentine's Day. I am not questioning the importance of these people in our lives… but do we require a day to express our love/gratitude towards them. The concept was okay, but the way these days have now been publicised, i feel they've all lost their meaning and initial purpose.Most of these days were celebrated so that unexpressed feelings could be expressed. But now, by the looks of it, it seems that these "days" seems to have lost their glory. In nowadays world, not wishing your parent on Parents day is a gross mistake...not having a valentine is a sin! I might sound cynical…and probably I am…but I feel these days have been hyped too much , leading to absolute loss of meaning and purpose !
