Gentleness

Gentleness is all about being like an Ocean,
Which can accommodate a lot of disturbances.
Just like a mother soothes her kid
The gentleness too helps makes us stay fine.

It is also a sign of a reformed person
Who plans well ahead of time
And is prepared to face any threat
As he has already given space for them too.

Divine God showed us a splendid manner
To behave to others which to be gentle.
Though the world expects us to be wild,
Remember that being gentle is better.

Love, Forgiveness, Sharing, Caring
Are all different faces of gentleness
And those attributes makes us a better person
Who spreads light around her.

When big rain falls drown from skies,
And also at times of hot sunshine,
A gentle person will be like an old tree
With deep roots and big branches offering itself to all.

Kiddishness and Learning

What? Why? Why not this way? How? When? Haven't you been haunted by such questions by some kid whom you had to take care of for a while? Or if you are a father or mother you surely would have faced the rapid fire of such questions from your loved ones. And many a time we might have got perplexed why is that so? Or it might be then that you might have really started to think what on the world is the answer to this question. Though you might not fear to give any answer to this new entrant of our Mammoth World of ours, but time will teach him the correct answer and then the kid will come back to you embarrass you with his right answer of His. Better we say the right answers and if we don't know just search and let the right information pass down to the kid. Again, just think for a while. Are you feeling such questions in your heart when you move around. If yes, then the kid in you have not died yet. But then, are you daring to find the answers to those haunting questions? If not, please do try. For those who don't have such questions coming to mind should try to develop the habit of asking such why questions around you. I remember as a kid, I told to my father, that I had finished studying and I am going  to play. Then he gave a very philosophical answer, which I keep to my heart. You start dying the day you stop learning. I add this too to it. And we continue to grow till the time we continue learning. Only a kid can grow. Let us not forget to ask questions and learn so that the kid in us will never die. 

Music - the language of the heart

Music is all around us. The birds sing them to us in the morning and evening. The wind plays the flute near us. The special talent of converting mere words to wonderful songs starts by infusing the spirit of music to it. The best method adopted by mothers of all places across the nations is to sing a Lullaby to their dear ones to help them to sleep. It is because of the special effect the music has on our brain that makes us always wanting for the companionship of music for all the periods of our lives. Be it in the time of happiness or sorrow, we always have a music associated with it. One of the greatest discoveries made by man was that he could use things around him for making music. Then the stones, thin strings of wire, skin of animals, thin sheets of wood have all manifested itself  into various forms like flutes, tambourines, violins, guitars etc. The base of this all lies in the fact that Music is Divine. It is a gift given to man by his creator. In the heaven, majestic angels are singing songs of praises to the Lord. There is music in all that we do. Let us open our ears to the shower of blessings around us, before we hurry to judge this world is full of noise. The blood flows in our veins in a musical pattern. The heart makes beats in a specified manner. As you run, the beat changes. Look under the water, were the fishes appear to swim, though they are actually dancing to a tune in their minds. Let us think for a moment about the ways in which we too can contribute our tune too this wonderful world around us. Remember, you too are a musician. And you will be remembered for the tune you gave to the world. Fear not to tune, as your tune too is relevant. 

Saying Thank you

As a kid we have always learnt to say thank you to others. But as we grew up, where have forgotten this precious talent of gifting others with an appreciation for the care others had given us. How many times have we said thank you to those who are worthy for it. Everyday in the evening when we sit down in front of our God and think of the great things that had happened in our lives the same day, we realise how many wonderful things had happened even in the so called worse day in our lives. Every body likes sweetness. And the best way to add sweetness in our lives is by acknowledging others of their care shown towards us. I remember the chief of Police saying, nobody will give anything free to anybody, unless it is our parents or immediate family. When somebody who is outside this circle extends any help to us, be it a very negligible  one, let us not hesitate to say Thank you. Again, the number of thank you that you get shows how much sweeter you have made this world to be in this day. And if this practiced well, how brighter will be this world at then end of you lifetime. 

What is Man with all the Beasts gone?

Nature was created by Lord with a great plan to spread His Love to the world. Every creature that was created had the splendid spirit infused in it. Man being the wisest of them all, has the divine responsibility of protecting it all. But, Man has this evilness that came to him as he disobeyed the Law. This made man greedy. Instead of earning Love, He started to work for money. The great fault here is that, he started to work hard to earn as much Money as he can. The merciless attack was unleashed on every wonderful creature that was around him. Big trees, Wild animals, Glorious rivers, Splendid birds have all had to surrender their lives to this aggressive outreach made by greedy man to make his life "better". Everything around Him became only utensils to tap money. Anything that came against him was destroyed in the process. And the worse part is that He is not in any mood to stop it all. How many of us dare to take a pro planet step? It takes a bold woman to go beyond the daily necessities and do something for the Mother nature. Let us remember the same old story that our grandparents used to tell us. Let us not cut the branch on which we are sitting. 

Gifting second hand things.

People always expect gifts from others. But, how many of them would accept the gifts if they are second hand ones. We have all learnt from our child hood days that we are something great and we always deserve the best. How many of us have dared to buy second hand things even when you had enough money to buy the first hand. There are people in this world who can't even afford a first hand thing. I would recommend you to take a risk this time to gift your dear ones with second hand things. If you had planned to buy a book as gift, try to get a used copy and gift the same. You know it has many advantages. One can save a lot of money is the first thing. Secondly, that money can be used for some other useful purpose. People also realise the necessity of reusing things. None of us might have ever gone inside the home of a poor classmate of ours. There were instances in their lives when their studies required every penny earned by their parents. In this tough time, the greatest blessing one can get is somebody offering atleast a used book for His studies. Another side to this is that, a lot of things that we have bought remains idle in our homes and finally one day we will dump them all the junkyard. Un shared knowledge is a great Sin. Let us take a moment to make a list of books which we are not going to use ever more and make it a point to share it with those in need.
If somebody is not able to find a person in need, just close your eyes and imagine the feeling you had when you had when you were given something which you really wanted for sometime in your life. Let us Gift each other second hand things.
