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 […]

Modification of an organism or its parts that makes it more fit for existence under the conditions of its environment: a heritable physical or behavioral trait that serves a specific function and improves an organism’s fitness or survival. merriam-webster The adaption chapter in school text book used to be my favourite when I was a kid. I used […]

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 […]

“Je parle Anglais?” which translates to “I speak English” but the question here is why there is a question mark if this is a plain statement. Well, to answer that I must take a few steps back into the past when I was a newcomer to the city of Brussels and the French language was […]

“How are your eyes, Amma?”, I asked over the phone. “No Amma, we are not eating much rice these days. We have limited our diet due to health issues”, replied my mother-in-law. It wasn’t that she had not understood my question. I realised that she had merely misheard my question. I repeated the query, this […]

I was a kid when I visited Chennai. I spoke Hindi at home and English at school. The concept of learning more languages wasn’t popular till then. And even if it were, I would have never learned Tamil. My father had tight business connections with Tamilians and visited Chennai twice a month. I was a […]

“Mom I have a doubt,” said my 6 years old daughter. “What’s it dear?” I asked, to be only left stumped by her question. “Why papa loves you when your face is full of spots?”. I am not even exaggerating, those were really her words. And I don’t blame her for she is growing up […]

We are all taught from our childhood to think logically. We have the IQ that is measured on basis of our logical reasoning ability. Logic is needed to win the arguments; reasoning is needed to justify our logic. Kids who are good with logic and reasoning often get into the best schools and eventually earn […]

Recently, while cleaning my favorite coffee mug it slipped from my hand and broke. I felt bad for a while and thought it is of no use now. But after a while, the Japanese idea of mending broken objects came to my mind. Well, I don’t have gold, so I used Feviquick Gum and fixed […]
Great post!

I remember when I panicked because of so much assignments left to complete but then I thought that being panicked will make this situation only worse..so I rested my mind and did it…

Thank you 😊 Glad you liked it dear, it is indeed correct that the day you are late for work, panic won’t help you one bit, it will just delay you a lil more, always good to tell the mind it’s over stressing. 👍🏻

When in panic mode, concentrating on breathing and talking to people around you or you care about will help for sure, and one can tune their mind saying that “its temporary and just a trick of my mind and it will pass” and it will help for sure.

This is one of my favourite feeling and I keep telling this to others.
But as you said it crops on everyone and at times unpredictable. Even to me it comes like an Octopus and grabs by its tentacles, only to make me see into it like a tiger’s eyes and snatch it by the paws.
‘This too shall pass’ – is a wonderful phrase, it is an attitude, it is having a spiritual thought in it to be pondered, it is such a good feeling that makes you more healthier, it makes other’s know why and how to adopt it.
I think I have commented on one or two posts of fellow bloggers who have written on this topic.
I feel this word should be spread as the modern living has been so stressful and panicky.
