Man is subjected to time. For everything, there is a season, and a time for every activity and everything is beautiful in its own time. Does it mean we need to wait for the right time for everything to fall into its place? If it’s so, then why do we worry about life, relationships, career, […]

Yet another page from the mother-daughter diary “Mom, please tell me a story and put me to sleep,” my daughter requested. It’s a part of our routine. Sometimes I read folk tale books, and sometimes I play bedtime stories on YouTube (when I have a lot of things to wind up and anxiety kicks in […]

Travel has always been my favourite thing, regardless of the mode of transportation. I’ve always enjoyed bus rides, but the views I get to see on a train ride make it even more enjoyable. And a car ride gives me the feeling that I’m about to embark on an adventure. Those who know me are […]

They’re not botheredby the chaos and dangers all around them.As the fearless rangersThey’re known for living within their ‘joyous frame’. Neither they lack enthusiasmwhile they fly high in the blue skies,Nor do they lack the zeal or passionto feed their little ones while listening to their hungry cries. They teach us to be carefree and […]

Things have changed a lot in one year or so. Sometimes I wonder whether I am progressing or getting distracted by many things around me. I feel like doing so many things but I forget to ask myself a question, “are all things beneficial for me“. If at all they are beneficial in my life, […]

The flares of your seething rage when I fail to take a stand for myself spells love for me. The Innocent faults you make to weave perfection in mundane activities spell love for me. The indifference you show towards my imperfections that make me queer spells love for me. The calm and smile that you […]

In rushed twenty twenty-twoClose on the heels of twenty twenty-oneRaising hopes of good tidingsOf love, joy, fulfillment and cheer Now as it bids us adieuIt’s the time to reflect what gifts it offered me and youWhile at the threshold of yet another year with promises anewPonder awhile how the year of old has seen you […]

Just another day, another page from mother-daughter diaries: A few days back I was having a regular “to/before bed” conversation with my daughter, who was as usual raring to go with her canon of questions. From her “Why, Who, What, When, and How” kitty she pulled out a gem that set my mind on a […]

I cannot describe the feeling, when I come across a person who can just “airlift” me to a whole different level, just by their sheer presence or a simple candid conversation over a phone line. Some of us call it having a deep conversation, I like to call them ‘intellectually stimulating conversations’ because not only […]
Indeed! When we are generous to others and give freely, we are the happiest! I feel very blessed in my life for all that I have received. Your article made me think of all those who have been generous to me.
Some people worry about the “return”—there is a “return”—a feeling of goodness for helping others…and that is a deep experience no one can ever take from us.
Over my lifetime people have been good to me and generous to me and I have not always been able to return their generosity in the same way. As my one friend said, “We may not always get the “return” from the same person we were generous to…but in some way, some one else may be a blessing to us.”

Thank You for that beautiful comment. You are right in saying that it is a chain, and our generosity comes back to us in different ways, different sources. We must learn to give without any expectations, only then can we feel happy about it. As for the video, it is awesome, though I had seen it before, seeing it again was a pleasure, Thank You for sharing it, I would like to honor this comment of yours by adding this video to my post.

I understand in order to appreciate and really know happiness, you also have to experience the other side as well.
I think if people sat down and talked to each other one on one, face to face, and had an open heart, a lot of misunderstandings could be overcome.
We have to appreciate tolerance, and try to understand people may not agree with certain customs and beliefs, but we have to learn to respect them, and allow them that right.
There is truly more reward in giving than taking. So far it has been a mild Winter, but it hasn’t really started yet.
