Count your blessings!

I am blessed... truly blessed! How many of us actually say that? unless something new has happened! We moan over small and silly things but have we ever thanked enough for the countless blessings we have?

From around the time i could recall my thoughts... i have been keen in watching the lives around me, the people i see,their behaviors, the way they talk... and i have not come across anyone who have been truly thankful for all the blessings without any complaint! i have come across people who cry over their shopping mishaps like bad color choice,bad negotiation, poor research... people who are jealous of their friends having a bigger house, much expensive car, or even whose kids have scored better in the exams! Its not about being jealous its about moaning over those silly things... Why cant we, the most intelligent primates, literates...open our eyes and look around and see the world, the real world... the poverty, the distress in families, the crimes against innocent people,kids... the riots... the hurricanes and flood... how can we moan over having a bad hair cut when lil babies die in Palestine? how can we want more variety of food when kids die of malnutrition in somalia? ok what abt in india? how can we want more collections of clothes when there are school kids who cant buy their school uniforms? How can we not be satisfied with our salary when we see many who lost everything in the flood?

Yes... we are humans... and its only human to forget what we read, what we see and hear... but a part of us are purposefully forgetting it! everything that's bad... so that we could just move on... and live our life carefree... and yes we have to move on...we have to do that... but why cry over things we don't have and instead count our blessings? that's what puzzles me! at some point everyone have done this... even the ones who talk about it... even me... i realized this when i was actually sad over something i didn't have... all these pictures came to my mind like an omen! all i could think was 'what an $%#% i am!'

Lets count our blessings for a moment,just for fun... and be happy and content for a while before a new desire creeps into our heart and we cry over not having it! Lets be happy for the lovely world we live in, for the beautiful mornings,every radiant sunset, for the colorful rainbows, for the misty falls,the blooming flowers,the soothing rain, for the fluttering butterflies and every small wonders of nature!

Let us keep smiling for we are blessed in one way or the other!

Best Friends forever!

Well there's this best friend of mine,who is the best girl friend anyone could ever have... She have been with me like forever... I call her when i feel down... Although she's not great at advising! She is My best friend...She's my loyal companion...  its none other than My darling sister...

 I remember... when i was a kid, i always used to imitate her in everything... I even followed her routine... I did the same things she did when she got ready for school... 5 years back... i wonder how i remembered her routine! I clung on to her always... how i irritated her at times... how i listened to all her school and college 'dramas', how i supported her in all her pranks... and even cried when she was sad! I loved her then and now...

The fun we had of all... the bus trips, shopping,the gossips, the 'Pretend cookery shows' ,the times she prompted for us(my bro too) while watching a movie...and what not!

I remember the small small things she taught me... some knowingly and some unknowingly... she taught me to read the clock,to plait my hair, to wash my clothes and even to bathe :)

She took care of me when i was small... She used to feed me, bath me and even scold me! She helped in all the things i needed help... she consoled me when i was sad,motivate me, advice me when i was in a dilemma, comforted me when i was down, she was there for me whenever i needed her... she has always been there for me just like a mother... Yes,she's more than a sister to me... More than a friend... She's like my mom... to me!

Now she's a super mom, a loving wife but she'll always remain my special friend,my loyal companion and My beautiful sister!

(P.S: Sorry for the inconvenience for non keralites,The above song is in malayalam... Its depicts the sisterhood between two young girls... the motherly affection of the elder sister towards the younger one)

There's an old song,Our song... that i love a lot... "kannam thumbi pooramo... ennodu ishtam koodamo... ninne koodathillelo innu en ulli pookalam"

time went by... After years... There still remain that bond and love we share... Its always fun when we are together... but when we three are together(my mom too) its awesome... its fun and its filled with laughter!

Now that i grew up, i don't feel like being pampered by her instead i love to pamper these two beautiful women in my life.... who took care of me and brought me up to be Me! and i'd say they did a great job :)

I respect women because i was brought up by these two beautiful women... i learned what women is all about from them... and i wish i could be at least 50% as good a women like them!

This is dedicated to my darling sister for being the same always... There nothing more you can do, there nothing i want more... all i want you to know is that you are the best sister in the whole world!
