KARMA CATCHES UP WITH EVERYONE!

                                         KARMA

Today i realised once again, that KARMA does indeed catch up with everyone, myself included. Sometimes i wonder if karma really exists or really works. Then on a day like today, i am reminded by the UNIVERSE that YES, IT DOES!! As you sow, so shall you reap....INDEED!

I know this one person who is rude and mean. i dont know him personally, just via social networking and the newspaper. I have not met him in real life nor spoken to him. we have interacted via comments on facebook. On his page, i witnessed him abuse his wife and sons. He publicly berated her for bringing her sons up in a manner which disgusted him. He told the world that they were not his children and she was a stupid woman. In the national newspapers i read many letters as recently as last week, of him repremanding the religious for observing their religion in the way they do. When he condemned women on fb, i stopped interacting with him and i was glad when i was deleted from his page. I just could not understand why his wife put up with his bad behaviour. This morning i read that he is terminally ill with cancer. He is dying. The KARMA BUS has made a stop at his bedside. 

Im sad to hear of his predictment. I am not happy that he is this ill. I pray instead that he recovers but more importantly, realises that he too cannot escape his karma. But it made me think back of all the times this person has abused everyone in his community and in his personal life, and that too, on an open forum. And so I unashamedly thought ...Karma catches up with everyone! Hats off to his wife for still standing by him! 

Im not saying im a saint. It will catch up with me too....hell it has already...SO MANY TIMES!! But now ive seen yet again that its true. Karma is real.  I talk to the Universe daily and i often wonder if im heard. i ges this is proof that i am heard. I ask the Universe to show me stuff and it does! 

Maybe Karma was created with the intent of making us afraid of doing "wrong " things. Maybe it is there to keep us on the path of truth. Maybe these incidents are shown to us to make us see the horrors of doing wrong to others. The LAW OF ATTRACTION says we get that which we ask for and think of. If we think bad about other people CONSTANTLY then we cannot attract good into our lives. A good lesson to be learnt here for me on this HALLOWEEN day in durban, SA. THANKS UNIVERSE. LESSON LEARNT INDEED! 

THANKS FOR READING....STAY IN GOOD KARMA :-)

LOVE AND PEACE

PAIN IN THE NECK

 Three mornings ago i woke up with a stiff neck, pain that spread to my upper spine and right shoulder. It hurt to move my head, my right arm and at times even walking was painful. Doctor did the usual. injection, pain tabs and mild tranquilizer to relax the muscles. still, 3 days later, typing this is painful. The pain is gone only while the meds are in my system. Anywho...he did say it will take a few days to heal so im housebound and alone....again. Am assuming the foetal position though. feel like i need nurturing. Sumtimes i want to lash out at the Universe in anger. I even dreamt that i was telling someone in my dream that we had to kill the Universe! lmao!  My lifespan is winding down now...i shudnt be this stressed. I shud be jetting my way to Paris, eating croissants at a roadside cafe. Or shopping in Harrods and visiting Agatha Christies birthplace, a request which was turned down after being offered to me btw. Or i shud be eating countless golgappas in dodgy allyways in mumbai, while avoiding runaway cows!! 

But alas here i am! Oh well u have to make the best of what u have and one thing i have learnt is that NO ONE can take away ur daydreams, ur dreams or ur imagination. Not even God. So each night as i lay my head down on my pillow which hurts my neck, i go to the land of my dreams in my imagination. I am walking down cobbled streets in old english villages. I am grabbing bargain cashmere sweaters and handbags at Harrods and i am eating panipuri until im sick in Mumbai. Some nights i wakeup crying as i dream of my mom or my dad. Some nights i wakeup in awe after dreaming of an angel or my favourite Deity. Sometimes i am held with love and care by someone whose face i cannot see but whose unconditional love i certainly can feel! And this is how my cup of nuturing is topped up. By my dreams and imagination which no one can take away from me. For even moms need nuturing at times. 

Its a cruel judgemental world we moms live in. If we do onto others what they do to us, we will be crucified and burnt alive and put down till all self esteem breaks.. as if we are not humans. The world forgets that moms are human beings too...with a right to feel hurt, feel pain, feel rejected, feel abused, feel embarrassed, etc and a right to love. We are not given a chance to live. Well its best i end this topic of moms right now. perhaps someday i will be writing in a free society for moms where moms will actually be allowed to speak freely without being hated for voicing their honest opinions.

For now im lonely as always. It sucks to be home alone espcially when u are not well. Time to enjoy my own company so with a glass of water i say cheers to you. Thanks for reading. 

Peace and Love

wedding speech

                                                                


                                                           wedding speech

Namaste and gud afternoon.  Firstly a big thank u from the bottom of our hearts to ea and every one of u for being here with us today. Its really difficult to find words to express our gratitude.

Its very emotional for a mom to speak on her daughters wedding day but I could not let this opportunity go! I started writing a Bollywood style tearjerker  speech but then I thought …lets say it like it is… so I am going to tell u a true story…a true love story.

Some of you may not realise that Bhavs and Amith are dating for ten years as of 17 May this year. Hence the need to set the wedding date today, as close as possible to that magic date marking 10 yrs of courtship. When Bhav first told me about Amith,  I sed…tell him to come home! I want to see him!......... And he did. This was in their matric year and I thought…hai bhagwan!  Kalas! ………So wen I met a very nervous Amith… who was trying to look very calm, …I asked them both to pls put dating aside until the end of the final matric paper! To my pleasant surprise they both agreed and Amith nodded several times in agreement while wiping his forhead and I thought this poor child is so afraid of me that he is sweating so much! I was told only this year by his mom that excessive sweating is a genetic problem they both share! ……………..The days went by and I was so happy knowing they wer obeying me until sumtime later wen I was driving home past school and I saw them both holding hands and walking home happily, oblivious to my hooting! 

Well I did deal with the matter and had a talk with Bhavs and we had drama Bollywood style and I sat Bhavs down and had a serious session  with her. At the end of that talk, she told me sumthing that made me  examine my heart and soul. She sed….mum, he makes me happy.  I thought long and hard and I decided that, family relationships aside, if my child has found that one person in the world that makes her happy, then who am I to deny my child this kind of bliss? I knew she was just 17  then and life can take many twists and turns but I decided to let her have her happiness. Off course lots and lots of drama has ensued in the past ten years but ive seen Amith grow as a person. Ive seen him mature and most importantly, ive seen how much he loves my child. This is all a parent wants to see…..that there is that one person who makes their child happy…so thank u Amith ….and im confidant that u will always keep Bhav in that space.

But like every Bollywood style story, we have a mom in law… no not Savitha thai …and not Lalitha Pawar….its Sandy Namlall. Once,  we all went out for dinner together. No one noticed me watch  Amith telling  Bhavs..dont eat too much u going to get fat! Next thing I can hear Sandy from across the table saying..who u calling fat? U fat, not bhav…u don’t call her fat!............. I was seated at the other end of this long dinner table and as I witnessed Sandy stand up for Bhavs, I knew i cud wave all my worries goodbye. My daughter was in gud hands. If ur mom in law defends u then u are a winner! Recently Bhavs told me with a smirk on her face..that Aunty Sandy always takes her part and not Amiths and Amith gets mad abt this! Well it’s a gr8 feeling for me as a mother so thanks a lot Sandy, for being there for my child. And a big thank u to Ramesh, Resh,  Pritha and nani and the extended families for accepting my child and so lovingly making her ur own.  

 Im extremely proud that in the past ten years, Bhavna and Amith have conducted themselves in a respectful and honourable manner as a couple. There have been times when I had to shoo them out of the house and tell them to go out on a date becos they spend a lot of time at home with us! Since we got our big screen HD tv, Amith has indicated several times to me that he intends coming over even after he is married… I think he meant with or without bhavs! 

Well this true love story has no end…indeed, today is a beautiful beginning of a new and wonderful chapter in the lives of our hero and heroine and I want to wish them, on behalf of  Prem, Kamal and Sundeep a very long and gloriously happy married life! May all your days be magical!  We love u both lots and lots.  Id like to end with this special dedication to my daughter and son in law…..

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

Thank you!
