'me' as I begin this blog...





A wife, a home maker, a daughter in law, a sister in law, for as long as I can remember have been a daughter, a sister, a friend, a spiritual being and for all  who don’t know, I have also been a person who has reached and held a thousand hands, who has managed to reach them through all the darkness, who held them so tightly that it always hurt me. All those unknown hands who have been purged by the fire of life and whose lives still reach out to a thousand others, who taught me that each one of us are angels of light ‘n life to somebody. Who taught me that there are those could give ‘n give ‘n continue giving, without anything in return. So here’s to them, all the unknown, faceless real life angels and my GOD whose amazing protection I have even through the most unimaginable times.

    Yep, it does (life being meaningful and the opportunities)!! I feel like I'm more of a human, for having know them.
    I can't get enough of thanking the one above, for having found my vocation and my career in the same.
    All the best to you to KT!

Bell Bajao! Ring The Bell!

Image
The Bell Bajao Campaign is an initiative by ‘Breakthrough TV’, the corporate social responsibility wing of the famous O&M advertising firm. I was sincerely impressed at their initiative to take up the issue of ‘Domestic Violence’. The efforts at bringing it to the masses, at a level that the common man can get involved and show their concern, is admirable. This campaign has been one of the most innovative campaigns I have seen in the recent past. Their take, on how to deal with the issue of domestic violence, is what caught my attention. It simply says, ‘even you can do something’. You don’t have to be a women’s rights activist, to raise your voice. You can show ‘you know and that you care’, by just ringing the bell. The word says it all ‘Bell Bajao’ or ‘Ring the Bell’. And speak up against Domestic Violence. So much of efforts to bring this issue to the forefront, so many organizations working on the issues and yet it does not seem to be enough. How many of us have seen violence

Kutty boy and his ‘amma’!

Image
The first time I met little ‘kutty’ was on one of my first weeks at work. I was still getting used to being away from home, staying by myself and most of all dealing with the issue I was working on. The days of my realization, that there was always atleast two sides to any story, was only beginning. It was at one of the clinics run by my organization, on a very ill famous street, that I met Kutty and his amma for the first time. His eyes stood out from his face, ofcourse they would, for his body was so thin and he was all bones, almost like he was out from a Somalian picture. Only difference being, it wasn’t hunger that brought him to this state but 'hiv'. My heart had almost stoped beating and what went through my mind the first few seconds, was absolute shock and numbness at the situation. Kutty was only 10 years old, but with the maturity of a boy of 20. I remember, the first time he held my hand and we walked down the street to find a taxi, that’s something I could never

.....for all the infinite possibilities that the stars hold,   twinkling away. .....for all the memories of childhood, the mystical feeling. .....for wanting to swing on a star, ‘n walk on the cloud. .....for all the stories told by amma to get me through a meal, .....for all the dreams we share under the light of the moon ‘n stars. laying down on a clear night sky and wondering.. if they do talk to each other, if only i could decipher. .....for all the times i have found my answers, just looking at them,   enjoying each one of their twinkle. .....for those endless wishes upon the stars. .....for   each star..   an angel, ..... for all the times I miss those special people who went somewhere special, .....for i know they will always be angels. i pray, we shine forever, bear light to those we cherish, be the glow in the darkness.   ‘n shimmer ‘n twinkle. So here’s to all the stars who i spoke to, ‘n all the angels up there,   i take
