Pregnant Women

-
I have often been dubbed as a rude, cut and dry person, somebody who can hurt others blah blah.... I have no qualms about. Have got used to it and perhaps this has become a part of me now. Forgot when was the last time I thought about myself. However something which has always suprised me about myself is my sensitivity to pregnant women. Yes, I seem to be extra sensitive when it comes to pregnant women, whether they are walking in the streets, in the mall, or just anywhere.
Perhaps it all started as I had witnessed my wife going through two preganancies. I do not want to talk about the problems therein. They are there. Yet the beauty of creating or more aptly co-creating a life inside the womb is an ethreal feeling. There is somebody inside because of you and what you planned (or even failed to plan).

Sensitivity and life

-
Sensitivity is such a common word these days. As a matter of fact these days we are bombarded with words galore. We need to be sensitive, understanding, loving and caring and what not. I think sensitivity is the mother of many of human emotions. I rate myself as a sensitive man. However, there have been many instances when I have acted as one of the the most insane and insensitive persons around. I have hurt my friends, relatives and of course my wife in many of the occassions of travelling together in life. But this attribute called sensitivity is interesting. Interesting because it is not something which one can "do" to others. On the other hand it is something which is a way of life. It is something that comes blended in all interactions. In many cases I have failed to understand why I behave in a particular manner, the way I do. In many cases my wife has asked me for my supprt, but I had failed to reach out to her. It is not that I did not want to be with her, but it just...

Why I can't trust myself?

-
Dear life, Why is it so difficult to trust oneself and be confident about ones on abilities.In my own case, I think I find it difficult to believe that I am good in anything. This is so far from truth . People come to me with so many questions about their issues . I am able to tell them exactly what has been their problem. But when it comes to myself , things look different. I ask myself “why?” Does this happen to you .? I guess we can solve most of the problems of the world However when it comes to our own issues , we get bogged down.. we don’t trust enough. It so happened that last month an exhuberent 30s something chap came to my office to see me . I was really hard pressed for time, as I had a flight to catch in the evening. However one of my dear friends had insisted that I meet him, and hence reluctantly I did meet him exactly for 30 minutes . He came to me with one question . He had got an offer from an organisation and whether he should join it. I took the marker a...

Sunrise at Diu

Among  nature’s most beautiful things that is visible to human eye is perhaps the morning sunrise.Morning sunrise has an ethereal beauty about it. It was one such December 2021 morning in an isolated hilltop in an island called Diu in Gujarat, I waited patiently for the sun to rise up from the distant horizon.  Everything was quiet. The only sound that was playing in my ears was the sound of gentle breeze blowing all around, and the sea waves striking the rocks or rather caressing the rocks and its most gentle ways.  Grace is not a word I associated with sea waves till I visualised it myself on that December morning. I sat there on the hilltop patiently waiting for the sun to come out in all its charm. It was as if I was waiting for my beloved to meet me after a dark solitary night.  The wind blew around me wooooosh!  I felt as if the wind wanted me to be mindful of what is going on in the hilltop. Yes the wind wanted me to be present with her, she wanted me to...
