I miss you R...

 Is it ok to miss yourself sometimes? 


I miss you R…


I miss your innocence

The belief that the world was a happy place

That love was there all around

All we need to do is to reach out.


Just an honest open attempt

And life will reward you

If you worked long and hard

It will even speak up for you


I liked that about you

You knew how to move on

You knew that forgiving was the only way

Not forgetting necessarily - but definitely letting go


I liked how you gave it your all

When you set your mind to it

How you put the scared kid inside you to bed every night

With a promise that the next day would be better


The kid who cried in her pillow for years

Just because she felt lonely and unloved

You told her you were there to hold her hand

Whatever else life throws at her, you wouldn’t leave her alone


But now that child is overwhelmed 

The loneliness is threatening to take it all

What can she do to keep it at bay

With the weight of responsibilities taking their toll


So while I think of ways to help her heal

Would you please be my side

Help me hold her, hug her close

And pray for strength for both of us…

Jindagi ke arth kuch badalte hain is tarah, Jaise samundar ke paas ki rait ki satah, Jab lagta samajh aane lagi hai jindagi, Ek aur lahar aati hai paheli ki tarah, Ab kya karein ham is jindagi se jirah, Mazza aane laga hai humein jeene mein isi tarah...

The day i became a Teacher!

In the often-fiercely competitive and insecure corporate world, very few people make a strong impact for one to acknowledge someone as a teacher. After all - in order to be a good teacher you really do need a good student. Someone with an open enough mind which can absorb the learning and then make it their own. Too many times we focus on the traits needed in a good teacher - maybe if we spent a little time on what makes for a good student, we will be able to push up the learning curve a wee bit more.   To make matters worse, hesitation and ego often comes in the way of actually acknowledging our own roles as both Teachers and Students.   One of my pet peeves at work has been that too often we all rush to blame the new generations joining the corporate world as being bad students. Not as often do we stop and think if the older generation at work (Us of course!) are anywhere close to being the kind of high-quality teachers we had when we were starting off wo...
