4-A heavy weight matter

I could write my head off. But I am sticking to one heavy topic. Myself.
For the past five years, I have been trying to reduce my weight. My son turned 5 this March. He gifted me my first 8 kgs and my daughter who came exactly 15 months after him gifted me the remaining 10. I went from a healthy physique to a moderately overweight person.
I wasn’t bothered about it much, till I went back home to my mom and relatives. Now I am very conscious but alas, lack the determination to throw it off. I lost some 4 kgs last year till now owing to mostly missed aerobic classes and a teeny bit of conscious eating. But it’s some 15 months when March completes, so 4 kgs in 15 months just does not seem such a proud achievement.
Even if I had lost one kg per month, I should have lost a huge chunk.
I see this team train every day morning while I drive to work. I photographed them from my car. I wish I could do what they did.
But try I will.
Footnote: I walked the walk today 

3 - Unutterably alone

Essentially we all are alone in our worlds. We are individuals with physical, mental and spiritual differences. No two people are alike.

Then why is it that we place so much importance on empathy? How in the world will another person understand what we think or feel?

“We are unutterably alone essentially, especially in the things most intimate and most important," said Rainer Maria Rilke.

Happiness cannot come from without. It must come from within. It is not what we see and touch or that which others do for us which makes us happy; it is that which we think and feel and do, first for the other fellow and then for ourselves. [Helen Keller ]

Today I wished for miracles- full blown miracles. May our lives be filled with miracles. May our lives be blessed and fulfilled. May we be happy in unutterable loneliness.

2- Blabbing

We blab and blab and then blab some more.

Most of the topics are about high funda stuff. Like sixth sense and Aurovilla.

But does he know I am talking just with my tongue and not with my heart.

I wonder if he is doing the same?

I wish I could know for sure, where the heart stops and the act begins?

1- When you are loved, everything falls into its right place

When you are loved, everything falls into its right place.




I know it’s my mom who loves me the most, in this world. And vice versa for me too, along with my little lady. I love to hear the throaty chuckle the little one gives when she laughs in joy. It’s the best music in this world, after her sigh in sleep.
This picture is a treasured memory of mine. The bridge between two generations is being built strong on a cement of love. Unbridled joy flows amok. So much so that it flows out of the picture and through me every time I view it.

Happiness is so easy to achieve in those unrestrained moments of simplicity. As clichéd as it sounds, I want to repeat, happiness is in those small moments.
