अतिथि देवो भव

Hello !!!!...

How are??  Khana kha k Jana huh..   

The signature statement of Hansa Parekh (from KHICHDI); although a dumb & super funny character, who has no desire to perform even her routine work…, but this concept of atithi devo bhav  seems to be quite clear to her.

Which literally means-?

Guest is a form of god, so one should please them with their full consent and should take care of them..

Our Hindu mythology is full of examples and stories; e.g.

1)      The great Hindu king Shivi and pigeon; where Shivi donates part of his flesh to a vulture to protect the vulture, his guest…

2)      Shabri has offered the lord Rama those plums, which were already tasted by her , because she was so overwhelmed that the lord has given her a chance, in the form “atithi” to show her feelings..

But the scenario is totally changed down the years, now the quotation is changed to “atithi tum kab jaoge?” ( as we have seen in the recent flick of Ashwin Dheer; which narrates the story of a working urban couple of Mumbai, who are annoyed by an unwanted guest and how, they tackle and finally, emotionally attached..)

Development is on a super fast pace and things have really changed drastically. One can even observe the changes down the past 5 years, which were not even imagined 50 years back.. Isn’t it???..

I believe these advancements will naturally affect the human emotions or I should say they are transformed, how is it possible to carry the same sentiments and priorities in the different phases of time. I think this world survives upon the virtue and goodness of this mankind and will continue like this.. Situations might be different, but the driving force will remain the same. This society will continue its survival upon the better half of this society ,the so called goodness is retained by whom…. (my mom is a great example of the above characterization)

Well, without being distracting from the topic , my appeal from elders ,is to stop blind criticization of the youth  the 21^st century flag holders.. and from the youth is to act in a balanced way in any situation..

Because  atithi is still dev but realization may take some time  (quite contrary to the pace of development)…..

Sorrow-the inevitable emotion

दुःख में सिमरन सब करे , सुख में करे ना कोय 

जो सुख  में सिमरन करे तो दुःख कभी ना होय 

It means human being should pray in all the circumstances; be it happiness, be it sorrow…..

Because this remembrance provides you the adequate strength to stay neutral; it does not claim that difficult situations do not happen w/those who have this great faith in almighty, but it actually states that constant “simran“ nullifies one’s trauma and the victim faces the challenge w/strong back-up….

In nutshell, my area of concern is the existence of grief; which is unavoidable….

One may ask, what is the reason behind this writing? Quite expecting will be that I, too am feeling sad since past few days… do not know. Why?  May be, coz didi has left or some mess-up at my work place, god knows..!!!!

But one important consideration is that life is made of many emotions, which are altogether different from each other.  You cannot sustain, even if single one is missing…

e.g. imagine a utopia situation, My life is full of happiness, have no struggle at all, I meet only good people, exclusively good things happen to me, no differences/ struggle/ failure…..

personally I would never even dream to spend my life in this manner, does there actually exist any reason to show my potential/ approach/ wisdom for my understanding of this journey called LIFE……

Hey, I don’t find any!!!...............

On other hand, try to visualize the world without sorrow..

·         There would be no more fake astrologers, who make money by claiming that the remedy they are going to suggest, will cure all the reasons behind the victim’s sorrow.

·         What will happen to those sadist singers (or, performers) who earn acclamation by boasting their sense of sorrow.

·         On a serious note, how and why would one desperately wait  for good time, i.e. HAPPINESS.

Although, I consider myself in almost “balanced category”; I can recognize human behavior upto 85-90% accuracy and as per my underatsnding life is imbibed w/sorrow, bad people/ situation; so I cannot change the entire scenario except procurement of myself, my message in the end- 

Try to maintain the difference b/w good & bad things,as well as people and learn from other's mistakes...

Because time never remains the same (so much like fashion, keeps on rotating...!!!!) isn;t it!!!

I wish, above few things might be helpful for my readers to fight sorrow and to achieve victory over them,,,(believe me there was never an intention to promote anything like this.......................Swear)

The essence & importance of IWD

First of all, I apologize for being late...( since my broadband connection was not working since past 12 days...I could publish this post after two days)
A HAPPENING & MEANINGFUL 365 DAYS WOMEN'S DAY TO EVERYBODY....

 A fairly close day to my heart, in fact to my entire family ….first because of the arrival of my little sweetheart sister (probably, secondly due to its world famous reason) .

She is the great epitome of womanhood; at times revolutionary, at times subtle…. Too mature irrespective of just being a teenager..

I still recall the moment for which I feel proud of her and ashamed of me…. Around 4 years ago When the brand new Hero Honda pleasure was gifted to both of us by our parents and I was constantly denying to ride. My super interesting protest behind was that I really don’t need it( the bike)and am happy with the regular rickshaw-auto shunting. But, she attacked my psychology smartly and insisted me to use it not for my need or luxury, but to avail the responsibility of an important & valuable asset, ,,,,,  Wow, what a lesson behind… SUPERB !!!!

Still I took one year to realize this…

Well, along with my darling sibling, I would like to share this, too–

the most charming profile and the base for every one- Meri  Momma…!! (quite unlike Rosesh’s - Maya Sarabhai)

My inspiration,

my values,

the ever renewable source of my energy/ thoughts ,

the reason behind every thing I achieve,

the back-up behind whatever I loose …

…
Believe me, this blog is just a micro platform for me to describe what she actually is, and what I really think of her....  my small world, in nutshell !!!!

the third exemplary character – my Hitler/ Mussolini sister… a  a a  my elder sibling… my one & only “DIDI”…. (unlike dexter’s deedee)

disclipined, strict (that’s why the wonderful titles,I have given to her) intelligent, responsible, or else I should say EXTREMELY RESPONSIBLE…. Caring, loving, pretty daughter of my parents..

Although, since childhood we have shared great compatibilty with each other, but if I talk of the recent time  in the past 6-7 months, we spent great time after a long while....

I was used to of her presence, so I miss her badly now-a days. These days were really adorable, she used to manage every work on her own and used to shout upon us (me & jyoti di), on the other hand we were really pathetic in this duration…  quite habitual of this solid daily dose..

Along with so many talents,she is an extra-ordinary cook,…. mmmm leave the topic..!!!!

Last but not the least, my grandmother "dadi d great".... world's most active, intelligent and smart granni and really a true inspiration for my entire family by showing the right path & teaching the valuable lessons of life..

To conclude my FAMILY SAGA, I actually need the patriarch of family , my dad of course..
Who successfully handles these many women at home.... ha ha ha
On a serious note, he is definitely among that elite gantry who respect womanhood and meaning of this special day..

Now, on a neutral aspect if I talk about ,with what values I have been grown up …
I would rather say..

 यत्र नार्यस्तु पूज्यन्ते रमन्ते तत्र देवता .

which means that the place where women are respected and cared, god resides there..

The implementation of this statement depends upon the entire society, man as well as woman too,,
although we have changed a lot since past centuries, a much longer demand list is expected from everybody I believe specially from fairer sex,, . women of 21st century...
Be smart, be bold, be decisive, be traditional, be real and most important BE YOURSELF..............
