Take the call.

Take the call 

A recent incident of losing a dear friend made me reflect on the importance of staying connected.

Tapan, 55, was my husband's childhood friend, having grown up together in the same colony. After his parents passed away, he relocated to his hometown, Indore. A bachelor running his own business, Tapan made it a point to stay in touch. Every week, he would call my husband to share updates about common friends. He never texted ,  he always called. Sometimes, he would call late at night or on holidays. If my husband was busy, he would return the call . 

On Sunday, 23rd February 2025, Tapan called, and they had a long, heartfelt conversation. Today, we received the heartbreaking news of his sudden demise due to a heart attack. Tapan lived alone, was overweight, and had health issues. When my husband shared the news, his first words were, "Thank God I took his call."

This experience made me realize how often we ignore or postpone calls, caught up in our busy lives. But when someone reaches out, it's not just about them being available ,  it could be a sign of loneliness, a silent plea for connection. Every call holds a story, a need, or simply a desire to feel cared for.

Let's be mindful and compassionate. The next time your phone rings, take the call  it may be the last time you hear their voice

Healing is as effective as the healer is healed.

Healing is as effective as the Healer is  Healed. The untimely death of the actor Sushant Singh Rajput, has the whole nation gripped in shock and sadness.  It has raised a few questions in my mind? This is not the first time anyone has committed suicide but what drives them to this extreme step of giving up on themselves, their families, their loved ones. Why does someone commit suicide? Why does one feel so  helpless that they feel there is no way out? Why do people give up ?  What can we as individuals do to help ourselves and our loved ones family, friends,colleagues to cope &  survive despite what they  are going through in their lives. Not everyone is born with a mighty will.  Most people need help .  It could be a small thing as just being heard .  Just being there . First we need to heal ourselves of our sorrow, pain, anger, fear, trauma we carry within us.    When we work on ourselves we can help the other. ...

TO THY OWN SELF BE TRUE.

To Thy Own Self Be True . Being true to yourself means honouring yourself , the divinity within you which brings out the best in you  allowing you to contribute to your  growth . When we reflect and evaluate our experiences we connect with our deepest self  which guides us to live in happiness, joy and harmony within  and all around us.  Asking yourself , if what you  do or experience brings you peace , makes  you  happy, contributes  to your  growth and reflects in your relationships then you are being true to yourself. We live in a society where one is conditioned to Fit In .  Conditioned to ignore our needs, conditioned to first do things for the others, conditioned to be quiet, conditioned to tolerate things even if one has been hurt, conditioned to put up with people who hurt you, humiliate you, belittle you, ignore you.  When we are true to our own needs , honest with ourselves we become aware of our strengths....

WE ARE THE ENERGY WE CARRY

WE ARE TH ENERGY WE CARRY.   Energy is everywhere and in everything.  Energy affects us.  Since the time we are born,  who  we are is determined by the experiences we have and how we  perceive these experiences.   The emotions we hold or carry about the experience affect our being both positively and negatively. Energy is movement .. When we have a Positive emotion  the  energies magnify, they become radiant, they align with our core being.and vibrate at higher frequencies.   When we have a negative emotion  our energies become dull, they shrink and disconnect from our being and vibrate at lower frequencies. Our emotions are key  to understanding  the energy we carry.  Emotions are the language of our being.  The feelings or emotions we predominantly carry becomes ones energy. Holding on to negative emotions is toxic to our being. Negative emotions like anger, worry, fear, hatred, disappointment ,guilt...
