Mother!!

When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child. ~ Sophia Loren

Yes, when you are a mother, you think about you and your children. However, you also think about all other people of your family whom you love, about all your best friends whom you adore, your siblings, parents. Ah! a mother really thinks about many people in her family and outside world too.

Yes, she is sometimes too much occupied with her family life. This reminds me of my mother. When she visits any shop before she buys anything for herself, she first sorts out things for us, and only then she with her available budget buys something for herself. Even though she is home maker she would save some money from her monthly budget to get us beautiful clothes. She would sometime pamper us with, various flavored milk, chat, pani puri, samosa, dahi vade, vada sambar, sandesh, kaju katri.... yummy. I love those mouth watering food items. Every time she would go for shopping we would be waiting for her in our balcony for when will she come with some special snacks this time. And she too knew that we would be waiting for the lovely snacks she would bring. The food doesn't taste so much if we sit and have it in the restaurant. However, the love and affection with which she brings the food, brings that special flavor in those. I Love You Mommy ♥.

I miss you Rekha!! We all miss you!!

Rekha!! My dearest friend... I miss her so much now and I feel so sorry for her now. I met her in Hyderabad in our cafeteria of CSC B4 building. I was alone that day for lunch. I found she and another guy sitting on a table where 4 people can sit. I found no other place vacant, thus, I went up to them and asked if someone else is coming to join them or if I can sit along with them? They allowed me to sit with them. I had my food and was listening to their talks. After a while I felt like inviting them to the CSC Toastmasters meet. I asked them their names (Rekha, Rajesh) and invited them. They finished their food and left. I had my lunch, returned to desk, continued my work.

Another day I was alone again for the lunch. I was holding my plate and looking for the place and someone waved his hands from the corner. I looked back and there was no one. So, I guessed it was me whom they were waving their hands to. I went there and found them, Rekha and Rajesh. I met and got introduced to their other friends. I came to know that they are all from System Admin team. We became good friends. Whenever, I am alone they would call me to sit with them. Sometime even they invite me to have lunch with them. We have become very good friends and had some cheerful and happy moment with each other. Every time Rajesh and Rekha would fight like cat and dog; however, silently, like the cold war. She was the lone female in the team and rest all guys. So, all the guys together would tease her. Whenever I sit with them, we become two and we tease others. It was fun. She was such a nice person, simple, always bears a smile in her face. She doesn't know hindi and would learn a word or two from me. She always greet me or anyone with such purity in her voice, in her eyes or in her smile, as if she likes everyone, there is no such thing called dislike in her life. I always confuse with her name and call her "Padma" - the lotus flower. And she would correct me, "I am Rekha"

It came as a sudden news to me that she is no more there. She is of my age or may be even younger than me. One of our friend Murali informed in Buzz:

We Miss You a lot Rekha.. :( Worst Day in My Life

Gayatri Gouda - Rekha left CSC?? Apr 20

♬µřα∫î ..ßαšα†آ‎ - She left the earth and went heaven very quick Gayathri, She expired yesterday night :( !!!! It was very sad shocking news..Apr 21

 

When I wrote him an e-mail asking what happened and when and how... Here's what he replied to me:

 

Hi Gayatri,

She expired suddenly due to blood kind of disease and blood clot in brain on 19 this month. It all happened suddenly and she also doesn't know that she has blood or brain related issue within her body till the end. She had regular health checkup in yashoda hospital fot the past 1 month, they did not check completely and given temporary medicines. Then she was completely ill on 17 and went to hospital. Then they said that nothing in our hands & routed to NIMS hospital. NIMS hospital declared that she is having some issue with blood and brain and it was last stage and we cant it cure it by operation in this stage.

We cant come out of her rey.. We miss her a lot.

 

I too miss her a lot. I feel so so so bad I can't tell how bad I am feeling. And yes I am feeling even more angry on doctors now, for their carelessness. The first I time felt that when my friend Theja had an accident and even when he was telling he is feeling pain in his stomach, they ignored saying it's common. It's only because of my friend Swamy the doctors did an ultrasound and then they found some liquid accomodated in his stomach. Later upon investigation they found it as blood and did the treatment.

 

Ah! pathetic doctors. Most of them have forgotten they are in this job to serve the people who have disease or have uncomfortable body and mind. How come someone just assume things are ok and supress the symptom rather than treating the disease. I have lost my faith on these doctors and too scared to visit them. I feel there is a need to check the ability of these doctors. The doctor who initially ignored her symptoms is responsible for my friend's death. I truely feel that now-a-days there are no value of life for most of the doctors, not just doctors but for anyone. I had felt the same when these riots happen, the terrorist attacks happen. One doesn't realise the value of life unless someone very close to her/him dies.

 

I miss you Rekha!! I miss you a lot!!

Inspiration from 'Walk The Talk' - 02

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all. ~ Emily Dickinson

Ah! Hope! few people come to my mind when the word 'Hope' is pronounced. They are: Mr. Barack Obama, My Mother, My Best Friend, My Sister, and few of my friends. Believe it or not, its just a coincidence that except Mr. President of U.S., all are females.

My brother too hopes lot of thing to happen. However, never says it openly, we can read his body language to understand that. So is the case of my hubby and my father. May be there are many other guys who 'Hope! for something they want'. Is it want or need. umm.. it's 'Want' I guess which suits in with 'Hope', cause if it's a 'Need' then people just hope they create a burning desire, a fire in them to get that thing done. However, exceptions are there, as when Mr. Obama said the word Hope, I felt that Need in his voice, which he wanted to convey to the residents of U.S. and the entire world. Ah! It's confusing... or may be I am just confused and not others.

Anyway. I just remembered that yes, I have couple of my school friends, who are guys, who still Hope for good things to happen. I too Hope for good things to happen. However, these days someone/something reminds me to Believe in the good things that I am hoping for. So, if I re-read the quote above I feel: "Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all - and that's called as Belief" What do you think?

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader. ~ John Quincy Adams

 

The basis of leadership is the capacity of the leader to change the mindset, the framework of the other person. ~ Warren Bennis

 

When I read these lines the first person who came to my mind immediately is my best friend C, who has worked so much on her leadership skills through the past few years. I am so proud that she has become a powerful, rather power-filling leader and for I have her in with me in this life.♥. I thank Lord for this.
