Educational Institution


At some stage, you realize that life is to be lived like a game. That's why they say, sports builds up character. This now winning no, now losing syndrome has to bring in the ability to take both in your stride. Isn't it?
And that's what we go through in life, now being successful and now, not much. As a young girl, I asked Mr. Vijay Merchant to write in my autograph book. And he wrote:
"It is not about how you win or lose
It is how you play the game".
And this always stayed in my mind. Truly, it is how each one of us chooses to conduct our lives that are the single most important thing. There may have been several pitfalls looking back, but you also see how you handled those and how much you learnt along the way and how far you have come. And nothing is a waste of time. Life is the largest educational Institution. You can give exams as many times as you want but hopefully, each time, the preparation will be better and better.

Divine spirit


Every night, you acknowledge that the Divine spirit guides and protects your life. You also say a prayer in gratitude, for health, safety, love and support given by the universe. When things go right, we forget that they need not have time for gratitude.
Many a time, we have a close shave, a near mishap on the road. But we are safe time for gratitude.
So many similar situations have come into our lives as potential dangers, but, only potential time for gratitude.

Dependability


The true measure of a person is dependability. You may not meet for months but the one you think of first in a crisis is a friend indeed or family. How close such people have to be to you!
Can you go beyond the SMS and the whatsapp to reach out? If someone texted asking if you needed help, your instinct would always is to refuse because if you really want to help, you would not be asking.
One has to be very honest and lip service is not honesty. At the end of the day, an offer is just that an offer. Standing at someone's doorstep unasked, unannounced, to be of help is actual help.
An angle we need to work on.
