Assurances to my kids..

Day 55..‪#‎100daysofhappiness‬ ‪#‎100happydays‬.
Life is a journey and we are learning everyday...on this mother's day here are some assurances that I want to give my kids... As mums we rarely take a moment to sit back n think of what we are learning in this tiring yet fulfilling journey. Everything said here  holds true and perhaps through out my journey as a mother. I will add more lessons along the way as I enrich this journey. To every day that becomes more meaningful...
- you both are growing rather fast and I have to accept it in my mind and heart that you may want me less many times. 
- you both have your own capabilities and interests hence approaches will vary and so will expectations. 
- pursuing your passion is imperative while I expose you to options that will let your heart accept.So today on mother's day I take this moment to pen down my assurances..
- I am human and far from perfect and its ok to be that way. 
- I am responsible to protect love and raise two loving compassionate self respecting humble and wholesome individuals. While I am doing my best... I am bound to make mistakes which I am allowed to correct.
- I will have plenty of moments where I might overreact or just worry too much.. but thats onlu because I care.
- I love my kids everyday and will want to tell them that even if I dont get a reply or acknowledgement.
- I will help you in ways I believe you should be helped but if I dont sometimes its only cause I want you to be independent individuals.
- I will be honest with you and tell you things that may not ways be something you like but telling you the truth will always be more important.
- I will talk teach learn play laugh yell cry ... with you today and everuday.
- I might seem nervous or sometimes confused ... and thats only because I am learning with you..
- I am not an expert though my very favorite dialogue is mums know everything. .. but what I dont know I will learn for you and what I need to improve on I will slowly but steadily perfect.
- I will be your friend and guide but will never stop being your mother.
- I understand you will have your own thoughts ideas philosophies and choices tomorrow and that you are entitled to until then let me hold you while you dabble with your options.
- every now and then I will look for my 'me' time n vacation... its not because I love you less or am running, its only to ready my mind for our quality time together.
- you will hate me many times and that is fine cause you will see the love when the time is right.

The forever friend!

Day 58.. ‪#‎ 100daysofhappiness‬   ‪#‎ 100happydays‬ This one was long overdue..in fact from feb onwards, but am not sure why I delayed such a valuable post. She is my forever friend, cause I have actually known her for almost forever -  Suhasini Ranganathan  whom I fondly call Su. She expresses with such warmth, she cares with an open heart, she trusts like no other and helps in any way possible. We have grown through our awkward years and built magical memories in the most simple  activities and moments. She cherishes the time gone by and always is by our side. She is the brightest I have known (with a report I still dream of) and yet appears in such simple modesty. She is the KPMG star, whose dedication is unquestionable. She is the perfect host and welcomes with such an open heart. She laughs in joy and holds dignity when laughed at. This badminton champion is a selfless Pisces woman who is true to her zodiac - creative, positive and intuitive with people she loves. We have

Day 93.. #100daysofhappiness #100happydays Tears were flowing uncontrollably and I almost thought that I would bawl. People around me were choking on emotion and I was sure that everyone was grateful it was dark and no one was visible. It was not just tears, but smiles too. It was not the filmy bollywood entertainment from any angle, but had a story that had to be told. Thankfully, it was a story that was narrated in perfection, had the impact that it deserved and left the audience, heart broken and motivated all in those couple of hours. While it inspired many even for a couple of seconds, it was a meaningful cinematic experience and a biopic that is lasting. My 100 days has tributes of people or experiences that are meaningful in my lifetime, so this definitely fits the criteria... a true story from my lifetime, when I was 6 years old. So here’s to Neerja – the brave heart who ruled hearts in silence. This true story took place in 1986. At that time, I definitely have
