Happy 50th Neeraj!


Way back in August 96, the sun was playing hide and seek,

A rainy afternoon it was, the day we were supposed to meet.

We saw, we liked and decided to be always together,

A lovely date, a wonderful decision made us soul mates forever.

 

Couple of days we had just met,

And our love has not seen a dip as yet.

So there I sent 25 cards, with roses and cakes,

And happiness galore inside of me was made and baked.

 

Your next birthday was in my hometown Ludhiana,

Celebrations, fun, food and my mom’s hospitality were outstandingly mastana.

Thereafter we had our small little family and birthdays got lost somewhere,

The lovely parenthood with some real tough times became our priority however.

 

The only fun we had were bedtime stories, cuddling up children and going to bed by 10,

Cartoon movies, a messy house were always there for us as a gift so welcomed.

Our journey together has made special moments,

Our old kitty group, DB Alumni, Tabling, 41’ers and now Rotary have become our favorites.

 

As we moved on in life, dreams started taking shapes,

I know, with a person as phenomenal as you, God has to show HIS grace.

With your hard work and dedication, you have made your way,

Proud of you my sweetheart and just want to state:

 

I have found true love in you and I admire you from my heart,

Love is seeing myself through your eyes and finding myself in your heart.

The boys are growing with passion galore,

Seeing these sweet little nothings, who would ask for more?

 

Came 2020 and with it struck a pandemic,

Life took a chaotic turn & things turned a systematic.

A heavy loss we all suffered and tried to gather up all,

But strong as we are, we lived true to papa’s teachings.

 

Now you know what you mean to me,

I chose this joyous occasion to tell Thee.

God you have been very kind,

Giving me the Best gift in mankind.

 

Happy 50th Neeraj!

Ma...Our Walking Miracle!

  Ma:   My mom is a walking miracle. An epitome of simplicity, I take pride in what she is. Sometimes, I feel if I become half as strong, as talented as she is, I would be a class apart!   In my teenage days, my friends used to find reasons for me to host a party. Reason was simple….my mom’s culinary skills and warm hospitality. She was too good with her cooking, presentation and served with love. When we used to get soft drinks where ever we went, she used to impress us with her ‘kairi-pudina’, ‘bel sherbat’, fresh tomato juice etc. Her mouth watering chaats with home made papri and raj-kachori have satiated so many taste buds. Master Chef was not aired those days otherwise she would have been a winner with a big margin. Not only mine and my father’s friends, but my in-laws family can vouch for her creativity. While hosting dinners for her loving samdhis, she would make sure, in an array of snacks, no snack is repeated the second time. Her daal halwa was to die f...

Karma Yoga# Bhagawad Gira# chapter 3# paraphrased

 Bhagwad Geeta Chapter 3 Paraphrased: Chapter 3, Karma Yoga “Karma means You are the Maker of your life. When you truly understand Karma, you realize you are responsible for everything in your life. Every moment, you perform action- physically, mentally, emotionally and energy-wise. Each action creates a certain memory. That is Karma”.  In Bhagwad Geeta, Krishna emphasis the most on Karma Yoga. He says there are two paths:   Path of Knowledge   Path of Action On hearing this Arjuna decides to choose the path of knowledge and tells Krishna that it’s better to go to the Himalayas and start meditating and give up war. Krishna then explains its difficult to give up action because each thing we do, involves a bit of activity. Even the simple work like eating, drinking, sleeping or breathing also involves action. Moreover, when the action (here, it is the war) is in the mind and we are meditating, we’ll never be at peace. The Path of knowledge is for the thinkers- the ...
