Day #7 I am GRATEFUL for..

Over the weekend I visited to my friends(lets call her M) place.I meet her family,well Mom for the first time.Her mother greeted me with open heart.I had heard about her many times.I found her very jovial,loving and caring person.She is so full of love and enjoys her life completely.

Unfortunately she had meet with an accident few years ago.In last three years she had been through major operation and then been under various therapies including speech as well.She very proudly told us about all she had done through her life pre-accident like being a singer,dance ,TT player etc.She told us how grateful was she that now she need not depend on any one for her daily needs.She cooks for her family,supervises her house helps,goes for walk and now can recognise each and every member of her family.She was so enthusiastic about regaining her reading and writing skills.

I was really moved and inspired from her.How easily we show disrespect towards our body and how ungrateful we tend to be .What we tend to forget is ,our body is God's own unique creation.Miracle in its own way.If we can walk from one room to another.that's the blessing,seeing,sense of smell,touch every thing is blessing.

Day#5 I am GRATEFUL for...

Well,I am back after big gap of 12 days :( but bright side is that I am continuing it,that's was the whole reason to put my gratitude list here on this blog.I knew at least I will come back and write.

All these while I have been enjoying reading all the blogs,but never realised efforts which all the bloggers put in to write something each and every time.Better than what they did last time.Kudos to all of them.

Well,it is said that 'The Love of a family is life's greatest blessing'.Nothing can replace this love.Having a family is the best blessing anyone can have.This weekend while I was visiting my family,it dawned on me that these are only people in my life which keeps me moving in life.Where ever they are,that is home,a peaceful,joyful place.

I am not talking about only my parents and sisters however each and every member of my family,who has touched my life since Iwere born.Sometime aspired me to be like them,sometimes taught me not be like them.

  • Earlier that touch of affection mattered more than the way of expression.A kiss-me-bar brought by uncle, made him your favourite and somewhere thought giving and sharing.I am grateful for every single gesture of such kindness offered to me,which made me feel loved and taught me to love





  • Well longevity runs in our family.I had played with both my great grandmother(Fathers grandmother and my mothers grandmother)I am truly grateful for both of them.The numerous stories which were narrated to me.They were full of suspense,drama but had high dose of moral values.Yes I still remember few of their stories ,which I am sure were made up them to let me know how being naughty or greedy was not good.I use to get chance to visit them during summer vacation .I just use to wait for it.With them around I never needed anyone,with them I use to be happiest.With there departure,they thought me a biggest lesson, everyone remembers you by the way you touched their life,how you changed them and yes sometimes you miss the memories more than person.

  • Till last year I had both my paternal & maternal grandparents were healthy and alive.Well each one had different way of showing their love.My native place is in village so it use to be completely different from visit my maternal place.Gardening ,climbing trees,picking up fresh mangoes use to be part of my summer vacation course with them :P :P.We had a dog and a cow's family with us.Being at their place I learned to be kind to animals.

  • Being at my mom's place use to be always a different experience.There was this disciplined environment.Life use to run as per clock,however afternoons were fun.I learned embroidery(which I don't remember at all now :P),cooking there.I am grateful that I got these wonderful grandparents.

  • I feel truly blessed to have family like mine.My parents are supper supportive in whatever we do and I guess this must me like living in heaven,having your guardian angles look at you all the time.They are the reason of every goodness which I have in me now.

  • I am happy and grateful that we are constantly with me,helping me guiding me.It is like they feel all the emotions which I feel,they are happy when I am and sad when I am .But never fails to make me believe that there is silver lining in every dark could

  • I am grateful to have best sister in this world.She is best thing that ever happened to me.Constant sister,friend and devil,she is all in one. :)
I want to go back home now..I am missing home..sob sob :(

Day#4 I am GRATEFUL for

I read it some where that 'You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream'.Well true, as dreamers we can never stop dreaming.Every moment of the day that passes by either we are dreaming or hoping that a dream comes true.They can be different for each of us like from being an astronaut to own a business,from marry our prince charming or to be a mother,from owning a car to have a beautiful home to return.A dream/fantasy/ambition is what  makes you keep moving in life.

When I was child, would always gaze out of window lost in my dreams and then will be caught my teacher in the middle of class(especially during History/Geography/Civic classes).I remember an hour long journey from my school to home and loads of series of dreams.It would be any thing right from having  Aladin's lamp to meet SRK or brains to remember Maths formula.

These dreams somewhere or the other kept me through the thick and thin of my life.I would dream my life as an adult,how will it be,where will I go and what will I do.So here I am,a blessed being, living the life of my dreams Most of them got fulfilled and ones which dint,it does not matter now.

Today I am grateful for the higher Thee/GOD who fulfilled my dreams.
  • As a kid I loved chat,we use to quite away from city,so it use to be once or twice a month feast for me.I always would dream that when I am big I will be always be able to have chat whenever I wanted to have.That's where I live now.I have this 3-4 chat stalls near my place,I can enjoy it n number of time.Its all together a different story that I dont eat it that often now.
  • I always dreamt of going abroad for holidays and I am truly grateful for 2 wonderful holidays which I had in 2011.It calls for another post all together.But as a child it was a big dream of mine.
  • I wanted to work abroad.I am so truly grateful that I got a chance of working in Singapore .There I meet few amazing people and had a best time of my life.It taught me a lession that,every thing happens for a reason,works in your best interest at an appropriate time.
  • I always dreamt of being a teacher,(I so wanted to be life my favourite teacher)well I dint become a teacher but fortunately I got an experience in teaching due to my job.
  • I had studied in KV,which usually use to be n army campus.One of my school was on top of a small hill.View from my class use to be amazing.I always dreamt of staying in such surrounding.Well I was grateful to live in such a vicinity.Our flat was on top of the hill from there you could see beautiful river flowing and sun rising.It was truly amazing.
  • I dreamt of para-sailing since I landed in Goa and never got a chance to do it .When I went for holiday,I got a chance to do it there.I was so delighted.I can never forget that experienceand always be grateful for it.
  • This one is my favourite song by ABBA.The charm of dreams..  
I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I’ll cross the stream - I have a dream
Lyrics Source - Google


There are few more which are yet to come true and that's what makes me hopeful for beautiful tomorrow.But I am grateful that I have a heart which beats and dreams,which cries when they shatter and gets delighted in their fulfilment.
