Keep Yourself Alive

 Are you alive ? Are you thankful that you are alive ? I am writing this in some spare  time at my workplace and a few minutes ago I got to know about the sudden death of one of our collleagues  . Always smiling and helpful to all , he was in his early forties . Leaving his family and kids crying  , he just decided to fly away , may be to a happier world ( atleast that's what i wish ) 

Well ! I never intended to begin with  anything of this sort but today's news has left me disturbed you know . 

All i can do is to be thankful that I am alive , hale n hearty .

Life is so unpredictable you see but still we all have filled our life with hatred , jealousy , competition, ego , leg-pulling , stress, frustration and what not . You or Me can just disappear in a moment and then ? 

Let's simplify our life ....a life which is easy going , happy and filled with love for all . Let's stop rushing ! Let's stop judging others ! Let our ego go off with smiles , hugs and gratitude for all God has granted us . Isn't our life much better than of many others ? Aren't we blessed in many ways ? 

I should be happy in my world . Let me focus more on the things as well people  that are stress-buster for me , that fill me with love and  excitement , that keep me alive ! 

If my dreams keep me alive , why don't i spend more time working for them ? If  meeting my best friends can bring positive vibes in me , why have i lost touch with them ? Have i overbusied myself with the job and family responsibilities ? Ofcourse i don't want to turn a back towards my responsibilities but at the same time ; out of this humdrum  of life I need that little spark that is essential for my soul .

I doubt if my words have  left you yawning  but what to do ,  those exactly are  the latram patram thoughts going on in my mind today . 

To make you feel alive😊 Let me share one of my calligraphy works here 


I am writing this post as a part of #BlogchatterA2Z festival 2022

  2. May his soul RIP.

    My 30s have taught me to be grateful with what I have and to aspire towards my goals. Gratitude is the biggest asset we should all have.

    I totally agree with you on losing touch with friends.

    I liked your theme. Hoping to read again tomorrow.

Theme Reveal #BlogchatterA2Z 2022

I started my blog five years ago and my blogging journey during these five years has gone through many twists and turns . I started my blog on self hosted wordpress site , learnt lot many technical aspects like DA ,  SEO and latram patram .....Blogchatter has been a constant friend ( plus a big support) since then ....I have  successfully participated in  #BlogchatterA2Z three times .....and wrote two ebooks too during the process . All this was quite exciting you know as I got to understand a bit of creative side of writing , made some new blogger friends , and became a proud AUTHOR of two ebooks .  In 2018 my theme was #Astitva where I wrote about various stigmas faced by a woman in our society . In 2019 I wrote under the theme #Prerna where I uploaded  some inspirational posts . In 2020 all my blogposts were related to the life of middle aged women (as that was the time I had just stepped into my forties ) . That was the time I came up with the book 'The Silv...

A letter to my Kitchen

 Being a woman i also spend lot of time in my kitchen whether full heartedly , half heartedly or not at all heartedly . But in any case i have to go in my kitchen off and on . Today I feel like writing a letter to my kitchen. Dear Kitchen    Hope you are living a fulfilling life with all your jars filled to the brim with wheat , rice , pulses , sugar , tea ,coffee and cookies . I also hope that your sinks are now empty and clean unlike the last month when maid was on leave . Those days ,your sinks used to be piled up with utensils and it stinked so badly .  Dear kitchen , it's been around seventeen years that i am taking care of you . Now you are grown up as a teenager and so you should learn to be responsible and maintain your hygiene .  It feels good when my family agrees on khichdi and your cooker does the job   in  just one whistle . But you just don't cooperate when they demand Chole Bhature and you also start giving me tantrums . Remember ho...
