My father( PAPA)

This blog is dedicated solely to my father. LOVE YOU PAPA and THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING.

Even if I use my whole vocabulary to describe my love for him or his love towards, I would lack words. Words cannot describe love and sacrifice. These are feelings that can only be felt from the heart. He holds the highest place in my life. Parents are a gift from god and I am luckiest person of the world to have such loving parents. My family is my greatest blessing and to see them healthy and sound is the only wish I have. The only difference between a mother and father is that, your mother always wants to protect you but your father will try his best to make you capable enough to protect yourselves. Everyone says, “ my father fulfilled all his duties,” but as a father what he does is not his duty but his love, affection and the sense of security towards us.

I have heard all around the globe, “I want to see a reflection of my father in my partner,” but I do not think it will be possible because the selfless love and devotion that a father has for their child cannot be performed by someone else.  No two people are the same and no one can give you the love given by your parents.

To me father is not just a word or a relation, it is a feeling that comes from deep inside the heart and words can barely express it.

The role my father plays in my life cannot be expressed through mere words. To me, my father is:

 

A role model:

His way of speaking, his actions, his oration, his words and everything else have always been a motivation for me and I grew up with him as my role model. Every time he did he explained something I would have my ears sound and I would listen carefully, because I knew that his words carry great power and that is what motivated me to write and today I am here writing this blog. He once said, “ have grace to win the race.” What he meant was that every time while there are difficulties in life(race) we cannot evade the situation and we need to face it boldly(with grace). I want to be like him: expressive, bold, powerful. He holds a great power in his words and that is what inspires me to work hard and become like him. He said that he sees his mirror in me and

 

The roots of the tree:

While, everyone talks about mother being a fruit bearing tree who never tastes its own fruit, its true and I do not deny it, but no one realizes that the big and beautiful tree is held by the root and without the roots it might not survive. The role of the roots is played by the father. The roots hold the tree and maintain the grip. The roots might not be very pleasing for the eyes but without them the tree has no existence. The roots are sometimes rough, because they need to hold tight and they heed to sustain the whole tree, in the same way my father is sometimes angry to us but that is like the hard hit on the iron which only makes the iron rod strong and beautiful. His anger is only because he cares for us and I know that.

 

My father is a strong figure for me and no matter how difficult the situations of life are, he never loses hope and that is why he is my inspiration.

I always wish to study hard so that I can give my parents what they deserve ‘cause they deserve the best.

 

Love you papa and I hope god’s grace surrounds you. May the almighty bless you.

At the end of the day, I only want to thank the almighty for giving me the world’s best family.

 

To all the father’s in the world

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY.

Wish you love, luck and sunshine.

Normal yet Special

 

On the eve of 12^th June 17, 2021 everything seemed to be normal yet special. A strange yet special arrangement of the star and the moon left me puzzled. There was nothing so special about it yet it did not seem normal. It was a ‘normal’ crescent moon and a normal bright star. What was so special about it??? Well that is unknown to me but this is the picture I clicked from my very poor photography skills yet it is enough to describe the normal yet special night.

         

                                                                                                             

 

The star is positioned just below the moon. At first glance it reminds me of a dream catcher, it is believed that a dream catcher catches all are our night mares and we can sleep peacefully and enjoy the sweet dreams. Maybe its god’s way of telling us that all these nightmares will soon come to an end and everything will be a sweet dream again. Yes it is just a belief but what does it cost to have faith in yourself and hope for things to get better soon. Believe me “this too shall pass”.

 

The moon is crescent. In my understanding crescent moon signifies rebirth. The crescent moon comes before the new moon and is a part of the cycle of rebirth of moon. Just the way trust my belief that death is just a channel for rebirth. If life is a novel then death is only the end of one chapter and the beginning of a new one. Death is nothing but the opening of one door and the closing of another.

 

The bright star represents life and the overloaded brightness of the star signifies that our lives will be full of happiness and a bright future is waiting for us.

 

The distance between the star and moon is the path full of ups and downs, miseries and happiness, life and death, beginning and end…

 

I interpret it as:

The moon(rebirth) is waiting for us(the star) but to reach it we will have to walk the road(the distance between star and moon). Life is full of odds. Birth and death are inevitable. Everything that is born is meant to die one day but that does not mean we can play with life cause death is only a chapter after the end of this chapter we will have to step into another one so life does not mean a story, a novel or a game; life is only life and just like the star life will also shine, twinkle, fade, grow until one day it disappears. All who come will have to leave.

 

All those who lost their lives or their loved ones I am no one to say anything to you but still believe me, those who are gone, have left to start the new chapter of their life; I know it is hard to smile but it is also not easy to cry. Cry your hearts out and wish them a happy afterlife.

Just like the star remember that you need to shine even on the darkest night.

 

I have connected all my thoughts. This judgment cannot be justified by science for I am not a scientist. It will not be evident by astrology ‘cause I don’t have the least knowledge of astrology but for these thoughts of mine my mind is the evidence, my soul is the witness and my heart plays the approver.

 

Be like the star and remember to shine.

Wish you love, luck and sunshine…

A Leader

 A few days back, while I was sitting in the balcony gathering some thoughts for my next blog. I looked up and saw a flock of birds flying in a certain direction. All the birds were in a line but one of the birds kept distracting me. Sometimes it flew beside the flock and sometimes behind them. I observed the bird and then realized that it was the leader of the birds and how did I presume it??? Well I observed the birds and noted that whenever the flock was slow it would be behind them to increase their pace and it was moving here and there to make sure no one is left behind. But mark my words for those 10-15 minutes that I watched the flock never did it lead/ fly ahead of the flock. This is the most prestigious qualities of a leader. A leader will never lead the path but show you how to walk and which path to follow. According to John Maxwell, “ A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way.”

 

How to be a leader???

 

The actual quality of a leader is not to lead but to guide. An ideal group leader is one who never gives you the speech you have to deliver but guides you how to speak and also hands over to you the microphone. A leader is not meant to walk ahead but to walk side-by-side and help all those who are unable to catch up. Being a leader, if any one of the members has lost hope it’s your duty to be like a wall which can help them stand again. As a leader, if someone loses their voice you have to be the microphone for them. If someone makes a mistake in public then you need to cover up for them to save them from embarrassment and also you will have to help them improve and avoid the mistakes next time. A leader is like a vision and where there is no vision, the people perish. You need to understand that the group’s achievements are the efforts of every single member of the group and you are just one of them but the downfall of the group will indicate that your efforts are somewhat not up to the mark. If there is a lack of cooperation from the group then there is lack of efforts from your side. Understand that leadership qualities will take time, efforts and experience to develop but it is expected of you to develop the qualities as early as you can because everyone will get time but not the leader. If the group chooses the leader through mutual voting then everyone needs to respect each others’ opinion.

 

The necessary traits for a leader:

 

·         Trust- you need to trust each others’ opinion and also you have to not lose your temper.

 

·         Understanding- as Benjamin Disraeli once said, “a leader follows the people.” you need to understand the speed and quality of the work every group member presents. You need to understand each other in order to help and grow together.

 

·         Active participation- you need to be active enough to motivate others as well as make plans and schedules for the whole group.

 

·         Patience- remember that no matter how difficult the situation is you cannot lose your calm. If you lose your temper it will surely lead to lack of cooperation in the group.

 

·         Oration- you require oration skills as you will lose communication if you lack oration skills which will lead to further problems.

 

·         Confidence- even if you are not sure about your decision, you cannot lack confidence because it will make the whole group nervous. Be confident while communicating with others because you represent the whole group.

 

·         Decision making- you need quick decision making skills so as to combat any unwanted situations.

 

·         Expressiveness- you need to be expressive in order to convey your thoughts and ideas with everyone.

 

·         Creativity- creative thinking and writing skills are a must for a leader because to accomplish some tasks you need to think uniquely. Sometimes to overcome odds you also need to think out of the box.

 

·         Un-biasness- you cannot show biasness towards any member may it be your friend, relative or enemy.

 

·         The quality to guide- being a leader you don’t have to always lead but guide everyone in the best possible way you can.

 

The mentioned qualities will take both time and efforts but I believe you can surely do it because no one is born a leader, but some are made a leader.

There is a leader in everyone and how you polish your qualities will determine how better a leader you can become.

The definition of love - Sonnet

A definition do I need,

To tell me, what is love of which talk the lovers???

Definitions galore would vie!!!

With one another,

To answer this poser,

But! No definition,

Would excel my description:

If one could deny oneself,

To satisfy someone else;

Then this is the love; of which ancient spirits have said:

“ Love is powerful and vulnerable in its own aspect.”

Two people but one soul it connects,

When within each of them,

The word love cultivates.

 

The above sonnet describes my understanding of the vulnerable yet powerful word love.

Love cultivates when do not hide but show every aspect of us. Love will not be cultivated if you hide your weaknesses, rather it cultivated when we show our different aspects, embrace our qualities and improve our weaknesses.

 

Traditionally, the sonnet is a fourteen-line poem written in iambic pentameter, employing one of several rhyme schemes, and adhering to a tightly structured thematic organization. The name is taken from the Italian sonetto, which means "a little sound or song."

Aspire to Inspire

You will become an inspiration,

If you work hard,

To fulfil your aspiration.

 

Your aspiration will come true,

If you don’t forget ’who are you?’

 

Your life will not be a bed of roses,

But you will have to work hard to make it so,

You will have to find which way to go.

 

At times you fill follow else’s lead,

Sometimes you will stand alone amidst the storm,

You will have to decide where to go,

You will decide on the basis of what to know.

 

You have to work hard,

You will eat the fruit,

Do not be disheartened,

Even if it’s sour.

 

On the road to success,

There will be many turns and twists,

You will have to control your clenched fists.

 

There will be no map,

At times you will be stuck in the sap,

But you need to know,

What you aspire is important the most.

 

You will have to realise what you aspire,

The others will then decide if you really inspire.

 

You will have to walk the path your own,

Because to no one ,who succeeded, was the path shown.

 

No one will decide the aspirations for you,

But if you are clear on what to do,

You will be an inspiration,

For a million.

 

ASPIRE

to INSPIRE

before you EXPIRE

 

What you do today will decide your tomorrow.
