Lovely Sisters I love you

Good afternoon all of you ,hope you had a great weekend it being sister week wanted to write something for my sisters her you go ....
As I was growing up sometimes used to miss those sweet innocent days when the only thing to worry about was school homework and getting good grades How easy the life was and what we used to think that oh my gosh when will this all end and working will be great fun but ha ha ..


My parents were very proud of their daughters as all there of us me and my two sisters were among the top three in school through out …and I was really good at maintaining grades and position and ranks.
My dad met someone and was telling about me that I was coming second from last three gardes and how proud he was about me but the ahhh moment was that he did not knew the person who he was speaking to was the dad of the topper from my class still get gosebumps thinking about the whole scenario.

I still remember another ah moment when my elder sister was a high school topper in English and her name flashed in all the newspapers and the TV channel folks were after her getting just a glimpse of her and an interview with her it was an ahhh moment the best moment in our life’s at that time and while writing I am going through each and every person who came to wish her and believe me or not this is 22 years back oh yeah you can guess my age now wink wink……

And My mom and Dad are such noble god fearing folks they wanted my daughter to give the interview with her natural flair no artificial preparation and it was one amazing interview and for the first time

We heard what inspired her to study hard and aim for good grades is to do something big for her mom and dad to cover up for not having a son …… we were three sisters growing up and good old times when having a son was important as he brings name and fame to the family(As my grand ma used to quote that over and over again ) so she did something above and beyond all our expectations and the joy in my moms and proud in my dad eyes was amazing..

I being the Tom girl was running around to get “mithai ka dabbas” as there were people just pouring in …..

Then came my turn I topped my school with the highest PCM as I was a girl with a great maths,science and analytical skills and used to just envision myself as a very great engineer….and why did I want to be an “electrical engineer” This little girls used to watch her dad struggling when we lost power like change phases and may be connect to neighbours meter to get the power these are things which we have for granted now but when I was growing up we had few of these struggles …and I used to just not think twice open the Meter and try to do that scared of nothing …..only thing I cared about was help my dad ……


Then my younger sister came in she was a great achiever and graduated with her MBA and never moved out of Gurgaon as she always wanted to stay and care for her parents she is the one who knows all about my parents health issues and taking care of their medicines who seems quite tough from the surface but so loving and caring from within …….love you cutie sister …..


This being sisters week I am reminded of both of my sisters as my sisters are not too much on to facebook will have to print and send this along but wanted to share this at my blog.

Had so much fun growing up with two sisters one an elder loving and caring one who would never sleep without kissing good night to her little sisters and the little naughty one who was always up to something I love you both and miss being so far away from you both I love you and care for you ….you are one of the best things in my life. I being the middle one had someone to look upto and another one to advice and all……My dad used to be in a minority all the time ……but he is such good support and we had a great up bringing went to best schools and had the best in life less to none …..

Thank God for blessing me with a great and loving family and Happy sister week to all of you .

Humble Experience

It was a great day today instead of following my daily routine did something good and rewarding.Rewarding not in the monetary terms but in the terms which can be compared to nothing monetary at all.

I volunteered to serve food for a church out here that feeds the homeless. It was a great experience altogether as saw very different kinds of people walking by some were so poor but still trying to keep smiling and also Thanking God I also did see some people who were really really in so much need and still they were thanking God zillions times and there were bunch of people who were grumbling and ready to start a fight anytime ……
Some people complaining some people requesting a second serving some of them trying to grab things they can …some people asking us to smile and complaining that why were we not smiling and some people thanking as if we prepared food for them .
This whole experience was the most humble experience and made me wonder that do we actually Thank god enough for all the things we have we are so fortunate for everything god has given us .
A house, good food ,a paying job and above all a great family backing…but still we all are in a mad race to get more more and more when will this ever end ?I guess never ever till we make up our mind to make it end somehow in this new fast pacing world we have really totally forgotten to enjoy the tiny pleasures in life like just sitting and enjoying the present instead of worrying about the future or regretting the past .
I still miss those days from childhood when I used to just see the rain falling and after it rained will take paper boats and go outside and let them float in puddles….what a sweet experience or just having tea with my family on a rainy day and enjoying each others company …simple tiny pleasures but the impact is amazing…. And now it is just trying to get everything done with the clock ticking all the time.
So all of you who are taking the time to read through this blog I urge you to spend few minutes a day to “Thank god” for all that he has given us and try to enjoy what you have and also get the blessings of God by giving back to the community in any way possible it does not only have to be money there are so many other ways you can help out and I bet the experience will be very enriching ….
Thanks for reading and you all have a great weekend.

Human Brain and Cache

Today was a special day for me .Normally I drop my son to school first followed by dropping my daughter but today was special kids wanted it reversed so I said okay fine let us do it the other way round so I go and drop my Daughter first and then follow my normal routine but the thing that was new was that I was chit chatting with my son went pass his school and came close to my parking lot when my 4 year old son asks me mommy are you taking me to work today and then I could not stop laughing I was sooo used to following my rdaily ritual that it just slipped my mind that something was different today just like when you do not clear cache from web browser it will pick the response from the cache .....what a similarity enjoy .
