Kalpataru - The giving tree!

The more you give the more you get, have you heard of this?
Giving money, donations, charity, thats it? No! What about time? What about things/ideas/views that ain't tangible/physical?

Yes! time is money, we say. But giving/taking out time for somebody - our family, friends, thats precious than money.

Your kids need your time, yes they do, in all walks of life. Your spouse needs your time, 'quality time'. Your parents need your time - just some inquiry about health not their's but yours!
Some exchange of words - of love, care & happiness. Your friends need your time - to vent out whats on their mind, to share their joys & sorrows, to have a ear to hear!

Giving time would be the 'zenith' of charity, I suppose. We all do live for ourselves but once in a while its fun & learning, to be part of some circle - spending quality time with them.

If you give away money in charity, the needy ones will get some food, clothing etc, just once. But time spent with someone - he/she would cherish it for the lifetime.

Art of giving is not everybody's cup of tea. Its a rare genre, for some it comes easy but for some its difficult to give. They tend to cling to the material things so much that they would jump off the cliff instead of letting go.

Giving literally means - 'freely transfer the possession of something to someone'. The 'free will' is very important.

Try giving - will surely make you happy, I bet!
Its rightly said in Marathi - "Ghenaryane gheta gheta denaryache haath ghyave"......Dont make taking a habit, while taking learn to take the 'hands' of giver too!

Diary 2024

  And 2024 ends..... What a roller coaster ride!  Every year passes by and the new year comes afore, leaving you with something and making you leave something.  It would be quite odd if time doesn't indoctrinate our minds. This year taught me so much, like the previous one and the prior ones too! I have learnt valuable lessons thanks to 2024. The year was challenging, demanding yet gratifying.  What I grasped this year would be exemplar for rest of my life!  The fear of losing your close ones, leaves you petrified. While the close ones are battling, struggling with all their mights, you feel helpless even when you have honest intentions of support. Mental support, yes that can be given in abundance, there's no ceiling to it. But the one you intend to support is going through so much that sometimes just being there, showing up is also helpful.  Sleepless nights, nightmares haunted me for days. But then when you see them valiantly striving and vanquishing the...

Moira : Bound to happen! Chapter - 1.

She was sitting on the bench under the huge tree. Its extensive branches covered few more benches around. The park was a hangout place for teenagers. It was a playground for children and a perfect site for the exercise enthusiasts. People jogged, wearing headphones, determined to shed those extra kilos and be fitter, sticking to their new year resolutions, was a familiar sight here.  Yuga wasn't feeling the vibe today. She had left home as usual, early in the morning, in her tracks and tee to run a few miles, but after three rounds she just sat down on the bench. She saw an old lady taking rounds, walking slowly, but with vigour. The tree was shedding it's aged golden leaves. One such tanned foliole fell beside Yuga on the bench. She picked it up and let it descend on the ground. She switched off the songs playing on her phone. With air pods in her ears, she sat inert on the bench. She closed her eyes and could hear the birds chirping. "They are so happy even at the break ...

What's your plan?

 "You've to score good grades at school!" "You've to do your Olympiads!" "You need to have a co-curricular activity or some sports activity!" "You should be able to dance or sing or play a musical instrument!" Oh my my! So much pressure on these little one's learning to adapt and traverse the lanes and by lanes of this complicated world. "But its a rat race! He/she needs to figure it out sooner. Studies, career, universities, the stress builds up as they advance into their grades (classes), isn't it?" Yes, true. It's a tough task for the coming generations. Population is ever increasing. Even though the colleges and courses are increasing in numbers but we have no say on the quality of education they impart. Also the leading universities and colleges are always the first priority, obviously. So the newbies are looked down upon. Also the reservations hinder the paths of many. Well, so what score is a good enough score...
