Why do I wear Sindoor!

Image
Why do you wear Sindoor? I am often asked…….. Well, and why should I not? I ask ……… I am God’s chosen one. My birth as a woman offers me the honor and the privilege of wearing red, the red Sindoor. (The red vermilion in the hair parting is, supposedly, only to be worn by married women. Generally, it is not worn by widows or divorced).  RED is the color of life, living blood is red. I am a woman and am sooo sooo alive! Procreation is through me the Woman. And of course, Red is also the color of celebration, of joy. My Sindoor is not a declaration of my marital status. Whether married, unmarried, widowed, divorced or separated just does not matter. It is just one of the many things with which I celebrate my life as a woman. And my dear friends, I wear, not only Sindoor, I also decorate myself to celebrate my femininity. The bindi on my forehead captivates minds, the brilliance of my nose pin pierces right into the hearts of all. The beads around my neck, my bangl...

Why I do, What I do?

Ever since I can remember, the one thought that kept coming to my mind was - why are people the way they are, why do they do what and how they do and why do they just remain stuck where they are? Why don't they do things that will make them happy, make them and others move on and live the best and most of life? Why don't people appreciate life, why do they not love it, why do they waste it, why are they sad, why don't they smile? I always wanted to show them how easy it is to smile once you understand and be a part of the ‘Magic of life’. The other thing I can't understand is, why are people not grateful for what they have and make good use of it? Why are they only thinking of what they don’t have, or worse still of what others have which they don’t?  We are all  gifted with  the incredible 'INNER POWER'  by birth. We are all  'Born to be Happy, Born to Succeed, Born to Win'. Why are they not aware of  it? The secret to re-awaken t...

Main Ajanma Hoon! I am timeless, Eternal!

Thank you AshokJi! I am reborn everyday, every moment and also each time when a well-wisher or an admirer appreciates me, when a critic shows me a mirror. Yes, I am reborn all the time. अजन्मा हूँ मैं। काल को मैंने कभी खंडित नहीं किया.... अौर न ही कभी ऐसा करना चाहा भी । काल-खंड, वर्ष, महीने, सप्ताह, दिन, घड़ियाँ, ये सब - मेरे संग-ए-मील कदापि नहीं रहे। अनादि-अनंत ही मेरे जीवन के आयाम रहे । हमारा समय तो कभी रैखिक रहा ही नहीं ... ये कभी भी, linear progression में तो चलता ही नहीं ..... समय तो सदा ही व्रताकार - circular रहा है... सदैव .... सतत..... !!! ज़रा सोचो ??? बीता हुआ कल और आने वाला कल... क्या ये दोनों ही दिन - कल नहीं कहलाते ??? क्या जीवन के सभी उतार-चढ़ाव व्रताकार समय की अभिव्यक्ति, नहीं हैं ??? - यानि manifestations of circular time. बस, तो सिर्फ़ काल नहीं, काल-चक्र .... हॉं, काल-चक्र है ये !!!!! और फिर चक्र तो आख़िर व्रताकार ही होगा, है न ??? और फिर मैं तो - 'वयमेव याता' का क़ायल हूँ, 'कालो न याता, वयमेव याता' बस, उसी का अनुयायी हूँ मैं !!!...

OHHH MAAAAA!!!

‘ OHHH MAAAAA!!!’ OHHH MAAAAA! (A must-read story) My humble tribute to Maa on this Mother's Day! OHH MAAAAAAA! Isn’t this the first expression most of us spontaneously come up with in any moment of pain or pleasure??? All over the world there are so many words for Mother, but for me the best is just Maa! All of us share a very special relationship with our mothers and as mothers with our children. This special relationship exists across the globe regardless of nationality, race, religion, caste, creed, age, financial or social status. It is boundless, timeless, beyond life and death too! Like all daughters do, I too have a very special bonding with Maa. Being a daughter and the eldest, as I grew up, I soon became her friend and confidante too. She would often speak to me about herself and her life through which I have learnt a lot which has been useful in my later life. Orphaned since the age of 2 yrs, Maa ...
