The journey from hope to faith....

After eons of time, I was sitting all by myself trying to contemplate on the journey so far in life. I was watching the idiot box but then there was this one dialogue that struck me, " we never give up hope".  So true, hope is embedded in the DNA :) Hope translates into different things for various people. Hope for a better tomorrow, health, wealth , success against failures , life, death , healing..well the list can go on. Sometimes hope against hope is used as an understatement. The power of hope vs hope is immense. I'm sure there are tonnes of miracles which hope has woven in the lives of many a people. 


The story of my journey from hope to faith has been exciting. Hope came into my life through a tiny channel of  spiritual experience which I would have conveniently ignored had I not been in the shallows of life. There was a voice that rang in my head which said " Dear Child, Move on....Life is more than this...I'm there with you". 

The flame of hope flickered in my life that day. My world had come crashing down with a broken relationship. I held myself responsible for what happened ignoring the fact that everything happens for a reason. I did not 
leave any stone unturned to wallow in self pity. I was the poor little gurl dumped by the rich guy. That day 
I stopped by to take a minute and reflect on the past. The past was not all of misery but a mixed bag of
amazing days and the not so good days. I awoke from the slumber of sadness and self pity. The divine voice 
woke me up. I decided that I would not get into a self destructive mode. 

HE was there with me. Hope took a concrete form that day. I hoped for a better tomorrow. I started focusing on things that were important. I used to drown myself in work. Set myself hard targets which I wanted to achieve. There were days when hope took a backseat but those were the days when Faith started treading into my life softly. Thanks to all the Almighty and the angels in form of strangers in my life who helped me in my transition from being hopeful to someone whose Faith would change the impossible to I'm Possible.

 Faith along with Hope has helped me achieve the targets that I set for myself. While some were tangible targets, the most impactful were the intangible targets which I achieved. The whole journey which continues has changed me as a person as well. From the very dependent gal who could not cross the roads to an independent woman who has to cross roads every other day to ensure that she meets her goals. It also invoked the true sense of forgiveness in me. It taught me one of the greatest lessons in life which I will hold on till my last breath...Forgive and Accept Things as they are...Be Happy that the worse has not happened...True

While the heart tries to bog me down once a while to cry over spilled milk but  I walk down to the path with unfettering Faith to embrace new situations and relationships. The faith that there are good things in store for me and that I have the best possible partner that I could ever dream of. A faith that few months down the line, I will be walking down the altar and all the dreams of the memorable wedding will be come true...Amen

Please deliver this to Mama in Heaven.



This day as you look up on us from the realms of heaven,
With the childlike glares on the earth,
wondering do my kids miss me,
laughing at the moments when we are funny,
sporting a proud smile during our moments of glory,
shedding a tear when you see us in sorrow,
praying for us in our trying times,
singing for us during the lullaby times,
pushing us to fight out the odds,
believing in us that we can win,
reminding us to take the path that we believe is right,
standing for us during the struggles of life,
worrying for us when we get remorse,
pulling us up to walk the stony paths,
laughing with us on our silly jokes,
smiling at our crazy moments,
sharing and believing in our dreams,
thats you Mama......

There is not a moment that goes without you.
There is not a smile that is complete without thinking about you.
There is not a second where we do not feel the air of emptiness without you being by our side.
There is not a heart beat without missing you for life.

Mama....We miss you! Wish you were here to hear the poem.

Happy Mother's Day Ma!

Thanks for making us what we are today. Love you and miss you for life.

Time and Pain....



Ironical as it does sound....time and pain can be a lethal combination...:) 


Time never comes back again yet the pain keeps coming back to haunt you. A bagful of sweet and bitter memories becomes a part of your existence. We lock it and throw the keys off into the sea vowing never to open the chest of treasured memories. But Time brings you back to the shores of the sea where you try searching for the keys to the memories. 

The boats which brought you back from the deep storms of sea are pained to see you go back into the ruffled waters.The boats know that the keys are lost yet there is small dream deep down to unearth answers for the thousands of questions that linger in your mind. 

Time and again, there is a pain that brings back the clocking memories of a time that passed by..........
