Sagacity Voyage

 May 2021 makes us  More contented and less anxious More grateful and less mean More humble and less arrogant More accepting and less denying  More encouraging and less of pulling down  Wishing you all very Happy New Year.

Like all other kids my son is also very fond of Peepa Pig family. So I got him this cute cutlery set. Yesterday, my help gave him fruits to eat with one of the fork. He did not say anything and chose a simple fork instead. She came back and mentioned, he is too moody, so many tantrums and does not wants to eat with this. I also thought may be he just want to play with them and not really use for the purpose. After a while, I asked him why he did not eat with peppa fork. He very innocently mentioned, because it was Papa Pig and he wanted to have with  George Pig. Logic!  Right. He had very clear logic behind his selection while we assumed so many things. He did not ask for what he wanted as my help gave him two choices one simple fork and one Papa pig fork and not George. He just selected best suited to him out of the given choices.  Every thing said or done by anyone has logic or thought behind it.

This is from the times when soups and sandwiches were the fancy food. I share my this childhood memory with my siblings @surreal and Laxman. Two decades ago, when were in  Joint life set up, to break the monotony of regular dal roti, used to make sandwich and soup for dinner. I remember calling this as western dinner and joining them occasionally to enjoy the feast. I don't know if this qualifies as main course or snacks or if soup and sandwich are even taken together.  Since this was a special dinner then, it is special now as well. I still have this combo in dinner with same curiosity and excitement. Memories are the store house of little joys, you just needs to keep them fresh!

 Excess of being 'Me' can be one of the obstacles to bring a positive long term change in our behavior. Let's take some examples: I can't  appreciate people much, that's 'Me',deal with it!  I am short tempered, that's  'Me',deal with it!  I am rigid in my routine, that's  'Me',deal with it! I just don't care, that's  'Me',deal with it!  We make our own definition of being 'Me'and try to compensate our flaws by this definition. So, if you are resisting any change, take a pause and think are you clinging to any false notion of being 'Me'.

 Memories are still fresh: That Big white OT room, The team of Doctors in green robes,  The chilling experience of Anaesthesia, Those scary surgical tools, Distant voices of doctors, Semi conscious me trying to figure out things around Doctor shakes me up to announce 'It's a boy' Oh! He has wide lips like me,  I always knew it was 'Jerry' inside me.  Happy 4 baby boy!
