Open up..

Funny but true,the most simple things in life are so difficult to follow..:) Its always easy to say things which are commonly known to all but followed by a handful of us..We all know the importance of diet and drinking water in everyday life,but we never follow them.

We all know the importance of exercise and fitness but we tend to ignore them always and when our health starts reacting by not being co operative we shall thinking of y we didn't take precaution.We all know and advise others on almost all the matters of life,but when we personally go through it we always crib and forget the advise we gave.

Today's world is full of stress,tensions,negativity,wrong food habits but a little care and a little time to think about these things would make life so easy.Hey,im no preacher but just want u all to be happy and stress free..so just talk,share and a little discipline your life would be wonderful..:)

And yes open up like the jingle says its a wonderful feeling..:)

Losing my own self

For the past few days,i have been pondering over the fact that where have i lost myself???? The person i was a year back is not the same anymore. for starters i have stopped making any effort to lose weight and am back to my old habits..it surprises me no end that i was following a routine and discipline a year back and today the same thing i find difficult to do.

I know and understand that its a mind over heart game..but somewhere im lacking something that would make me more determined and focused on the set goals..somewhere i have lost track and i am still not making efforts to come back.

The reason i am writing this as a post has more to do with me than others...maybe some comments or some thoughts or some scribblings my friends or peers write would may be help me regain my track...

Y are Moms so Emotional??????

The other day was Rudras annual day (which they call as "VIVA). Was a very mesmerizing event to sum it up in one word. I was amazed and proud with the exposure the new generation kids are getting.No stage fear,no nervous expressions.

Coming back to the topic i was wondering Y do i get so emotional when rudra's on the stage or have achieved something????? I thought it was a problem with me but yesterday i saw a lot of moms wiping their eyes when their kids did well on the stage,danced well or just waved to them..:) 

Not that Rudra was on stage for a very first time.Hes danced even when he was in playgroup (the only time on stage he cried when he failed to find me in the sea of people gathered there) and Nursery,by when his stage fear was reduced by a large extent.Even den my eyes used to well up,i used to be emotional when he was on the stage performing.Now i feel its more to do with the mothers instinct,a feeling of pride and happiness that makes her more senti..or maybe the fact that the tiny tot which she held in her hand seems like yesterday who's now on his own performing,growing bigger and independent.

What do you think??? 
 

Changing times

Keeping kids busy is a herculean task..i mean look at the exposure they have to the world and the speed in which they grasp things..they can handle a cell phone,a tab,a X box,a television remote with so much ease that i don't want to think what i was doing at his age..:(

But i wonder whether a tab can replace the fun of playing with friends on the terrace or road side shouting and arguing,whether playing cricket and football on a cell phone gives them the enjoyment of playing out and scoring sixes and goals,whether sitting in a room and playing satisfies as much as going out and coming back sweaty and dirty..Your answer is as good as mine..:)

But people nowadays engage their kids by introducing various forms of arts and sports at a very tender age.I feel its good,much better than sitting at home and playing video games and PlayStation,but still the fun of playing with same age kids and fighting,sharing is lost somewhere..

Gone are the days when we used to wait for the clock to strike 5 and run out to play with friends...those were the most wonderful days of life..Today's kids are really missing out on the fun we had those days.I feel proud of belonging to the generation where there was limited exposure to television and lots of choices and games to play indoor and outdoor.

Andaz Apna Apna Revisited

The other day Andaz Apna Apna was aired on TV.Its an all time favorite for most people...Almost all the dialogues in the movie are by heart for most of us..Such movie are not made these days,there are very little comedy movies made these days which is normally slapstick and not watched again..even if u watch u dnt feel like laughing...

Coming back to AAA the movie till date makes us laugh although we must have watched it so many times..Rudra was fighting for a channel change to cartoon and i wanted to watch this...so a argument broke.I told him to watch the movie for around 10 minutes and then if he feels still bored we shall change.
Luckily for me,once he started watching the movie he was hooked...he started enjoying and was laughing..happy to see him enjoy movies like this which are not made anymore.

With the annual day round the corner and rehearsals in full swing he seems to be interested in knowing how the song is in the movie..(btw hes dancing on baar baar ha from Lagaan) he watched the song on you tube and was asking when we could watch the movie..:)

I said very soon..:)

PS:Hes a big fan of Salman Khan and he loved him in AAA..He was surprised to him as he looked very different then..

Participating spirit

School had Sports day conducted on a scale much higher than i was anticipating.Was a fun day and hats off to the teachers and the support staff for pulling off such a remarkable event.Seriously,its no joke making the little kids run the races.Making them understand things is no mean feat..;)

But what surprised me more was the fact that the what happened to the spirit of participating??? Was sad to see kids crying after not winning and asking for a replay..sad to see that they are not able to take losing ina positive way and that made me think are we missing out in inculcating something called sportsmanship in them?? Kids these days get depressed on small things and find it difficult to overcome them.

Anyways the most enduring part of the sports day was i saw kids who were more interested in finishing the race rather than the results..:) God bless them and they be like that always.

Rudra came first in the race he pasrticipated in and i was on the moon.Never even have i won a race leave alone win a medal and certificate..Proud of him..

An Enigma called Sachin

Life has come to a standstill....All work has come to a hold..Nothing is a priority other than the match at Wankhede..The last match for the man who has given us enough reasons to smile and be happy..Sachin Tendulkar.

  For the past one week the media,newspapers,hoarding all speak volumes about the farewell the master is getting.And truly a deserving one.Playing a sport for 24 years with the same intensity and passion is no joke.Without letting success affect you,playing with the same love and affection is one quality that is very rarely found.

 Cricket would never be the same for me and people who actually worship SRT.The charm of the game is with the man playing.When he s playing we all hope we would win the match.Millions still switch off the TV once hes out,even i do..that's the kind of game he plays and the trust we place on him.Its a very emotional moment for many of us to accept that he wont be playing anymore..But yes in hearts if hearts even i feel he should retire gracefully with pride and honor

 He deserves all the attention and hype around him..He is unaffected and unfazed by the hype surrounding him and that i feel is his best quality other than being able to play with the same intensity as a newcomer.Always known to be a good sportsperson and able to bring a smile on peoples face hes truly a Master.Being one of the lucky one to see him personally once,the warmth and the grace with which he stopped and spoke a few words is etched in my heart forever..

Salute to you for the wonderful memories and thanks for the wonderful inspiration that you have been.Millions would come and go but they wnt be another Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar.
