Urvi's Scribbling

This is a post on how something that interested me so much got passed down to my son naturally. Nature always interested me although staying in Bangalore for a couple of years made it evoke.  I started noticing various fruit trees in my locality like coconut, papaya, jackfruit, pomegranate, fig and banana. It was surprising to me how food was grown in some households. The beauty of various seasons was much prominent in HSR Layout, making me exploring more about other trees and searching them on google. Few months ago I was much frustrated by my son's rag picking all day. He would stop at various intervals on our way to pick up things like tobacco wrappers or used plastic bottles from the roadside. While in the park he would keep searching for chips packets or used lollipop sticks. I was worried about his health and overall his habit. I would explain him with logic and multiple repetition, yet no gain. I myself was frustrated with so many NOs to him. I thought there need to ...

I am a mom of a 4 year old(almost) and he is showing his rebellious side now and then. I can see a disgust and hate all over his facial expression when I try to confront. It really hurts to see him fall when he can't see the danger at the other side of the tunnel. You want to help him, not like a spoon feed but more like evolve through the situation. It aches to see him do things that isn't accepted by the society on the basis of ethics or norms. You want to guide him and hope he excel but he just doesn't listen. Katti I was something like this in my teens but he is such a strong character at this tiny age, I can sense it. I pondered on a win win situation for this crises of mine. I want him to listen to my advice and also let him take his own decisions. His own decision, not that he is capable, but more like a practice of self worth. General Approach 1: Punish them Kids are so common to get grounded or refrained from their favorite activity. They are made to s...

Blogging after a long time.. This time I want to share my thoughts on eating habits and its effects. I have been attending a session named "Perfecting Youth" given by a monk named "Udayvallabh Maharaj".  Lately he spoke on boycott of non-veg food. But to convince a young educated crowd like us... is bit difficult! Following are the points covered:

 Hungry Mind, Thirsty Spirit  I cannot recollect the last time i did an introspection. There have been changes in my thoughts and the way i interpret... i feel a completely different person. How dumb and laid back i was! Lived a life without an aim. But there was a serious turning point in my life of which i have no track when it happened. I wish i had the vision much earlier... if it would have been in my school days, I would have been much successful than i am now! British prime minister Benjamin Disraeli once said "You can never go higher than your thinking." So true! My thoughts are more disclosed. I am more receptive. Feel pity for myself as i lived a quater of my life in illusions. Our mind takes 60000 thoughts each day and we only accept a 10k of those. While in this process we fill our minds with the filth that others have passed into us. Also there are inputs from unexpected people with some genius proficient ideas that we would just reject having a doubt ...

Recently I am introduced to a guy named Mitul Thakkar. I am impressed by his zeal to follow his aim, his public relationship skills, his excitement level and his down-to-earthness. It is through him that I have understood the importance of my life, not directly but yes.. though his inspirations. Following are the two great vedios he shared with me:

Was going through the book ' 101 ways to reach the next level ' and came across a very nice article. It said one should find the perfect moment daily. Of course our lives could have been better but some how we are missing the perfect moment that passes by daily. I have made a resolution to enjoy my life with the support of those very moments. I want to see less of negativity in my life and be positive about every phase, want to find perfect moments daily by being optimistic.

This is the ultimate truth that i have learned.. "One doesn't get more than or before it is destined" Its the solution to all my problems. Its gives me strength, patience and positive attitude towards life. What a simple deep meaningful thought it has!
