Indian Mother

Mrs. Iyer comes to visit her son Kannan for dinner. Kannan lives with a female roommate, Lalita.

During the course of the meal, Mama can't help but notice how pretty Kannan’s room mate was. She had long been suspicious of the relationship between the two, and this made her more curious.

Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between Kannan and his roommate than meets the eye.

Reading his Mom''s thoughts, Kannan volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Mama, Lalita and I are just roommates."

About a week later, Lalita comes to Kannan saying, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I''ve been unable to find the silver sugar bowl. You don''t suppose she took it, do you?"

Well, I doubt it, but I'll e-mail her, just to be sure." So he sends his Mom an email:

"Dear Momma, I''m not saying that you took the sugar bowl from my house, and I''m not saying that you didn''t take it. But the fact remains that it has been missing ever since you were here for dinner.

Love,

Kannan"

Several days later, Kannan receives an email response from his Momma.

"Kannan Beta, I'm not saying that you ''do'' sleep with Lalita, and I'm not saying that you ''do not'' sleep with her. But the fact remains that if she was sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the sugar bowl by now.
Love, Momma"

‎"The parents have to learn that the child should not be insulted, humiliated, condemned.
If you want to help him, love him more. Appreciate what is good in him rather than emphasizing what is bad.
Talk about his goodness. Let the whole neighborhood know how nice and beautiful a boy he is.
You may be able to shift his energy from the bad side to the good side, from the dark side to the lighted side, because you will make him aware that this is the way to get respect, this is the way to be honored.
And you will prevent him from doing anything that makes him fall down in people's eyes.
Every child is simple, just a clean slate. Then the parents start writing on his slate ~ what he has to become.
Then the teachers, the priests, the leaders -- they all go on emphasizing that you have to become somebody; otherwise, you have wasted your life.
Just the opposite is the case.
You are a being. You need not become anybody else. That is the meaning of simplicity: remaining at ease with one's being, and not going on any track of becoming -- which is unending. " ~ Alokparna S Thakur

Forgiving Spouse !!!

Shared by one of my dear friend via email … it touched me … so now it’s for you to look at …

A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eyes. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for work so he asked the wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. The mother, preoccupied in the kitchen, totally forgot ...the matter. The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle and, fascinated with its color, drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages. When the child collapsed, the mother hurried him to the hospital, where he died.

The mother was stunned. She was terrified how to face her husband. When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just four words. What do you think were the four words? The husband just said "I Love You Darling". The husband's totally unexpected reaction is proactive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life but there is no point in finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he have taken time to keep the bottle away, this will not have happened. No point in attaching blame. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.

Sometimes we spend time asking who is responsible or who to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. We miss out some warmth in human relationship in giving each other support. After all, shouldn't forgiving someone we love be the easiest thing in the world to do? Treasure what you have. Don't multiply pain, anguish and suffering by holding on to forgiveness. If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much fewer problems in the world. Take off all your envies, jealousies, and unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think.

The Girl I Used to Be Author Unknown

She came tonight as I sat alone,


the girl I used to be,


And she gazed at me with her earnest eyes,


and questioned reproachfully,


Have you forgotten the many plans,


and hopes I had for you?


The great career,


the splendid fame,


all the wonderful things to do?


Where is the mansion of stately height,


with all of its gardens rare?


The silken robes that I dreamed for you,


and the shining jewels in your hair?


And as she spoke,

I was very sad,


for I wanted her pleased with me,


This slender girl from the shadowy past,


the girl I used to be.

 

So gently rising,


I took her hand and guided her up the stairs,


Where peacefully sleeping,


my babies lay, innocent, sweet and fair,


And I told her that these are my only gems,


and precious they are to me,


That silken robe is my motherhood,


of costly simplicity,


And my mansion of stately height is love,


and the only career I know,


Is serving each day in these sheltered walls,


for the dear ones who come and go,


And as I spoke to my shadowy guest,


she smiled through her tears at me,


And I saw the woman that I am now,


pleased the girl that I used to be!
