Happy Birthday My Dear Friend

“Happy Birthday my dear friend, you have aged beautifully. Wishing you many more glorious years.”
“Thank you for your wonderful wishes, but aren’t you a bit late today? I mean the whole world has wished me in morning.”
“Yes, sorry for the delay, this year your birthday has brought more sleep hours; you see.”
“Yes, indeed.”
“So, 68 it is. Tell me about your experience of the period of time”
“Hmm; so it has been a difficult journey…for being conceived for 2years, 11 months and 18 days my birth was a difficult task. I am happy that a veteran like Dr. B.R. Ambedkar was given vested with it. I was happy to be in the form I was born; my documents were beautifully handwritten in calligraphy.”
“Wow; that is amazing. You truly are special.”
“Indeed, I am. My features were inspired by kids of other nations; to give me an in-depth character and wholesomeness.”

“Really, that is unique. You have seen so many generations; so many people and so many changes, share some insight about your family?”
“I have seen many ups and downs; went through many changes, 100 to be precise and I love how I have been raised to be of adjusting nature. I am happy that my family made me the way I am, flexible and with endless possibilities to evolve. I feel welcomed in all generations.”
“That is indeed the quality we all must possess to live a happy life. What have been the good and bad of being you?”
“Well, the best part is that I define my families’ virtues, the rights, responsibilities and duties of each member and provide the overall guidelines to help my family and its members to achieve greatness; while benefitting all. The bad part is all this is lost in translations; some of my kins are unaware of it while some bent it to their advantage. I am here to help and be a catalyst of growth, not sit in corner and age.”
“That must be hard. I know how important you are, but to be honest many people around me are unable to understand the depth of your character and misjudge your words and deeds. It saddens me that you are not given proper respect that you deserve.”
“I do get upset, but times do change. I see the change in thinking of the new generation, they are inquisitive to know about me, the true me; and the advent of new technology is a boon to me. But, it is still a long way.”
“Yes, I concur with you. It has been a long conversation, any special thing you want to mention”
“Yes, I hope that my family’s glory keeps increasing and everyone is able to understand the essence of being a part of sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic republic nation.” “And yes, My father was born on 15th August, please stop wishing him on 26th too.”
“Ha-ha, okay... Happy Birthday constitution of India. Thanks for giving me a just, free and equal environment to thrive in. Happy Republic Day.”

Art of living So, I started with my blogging again. Every day I planned to write something beautiful, something extraordinary, something that stood out; so as to tell the world “ I am BACK ”. But, suddenly life took a 360 °  turn and all my plans went down the drain with the new Virus in town. Suddenly, the talk changed from future plans to survival at the time of the pandemic. Quarantine became the new norm, while plans of travel turned to name random names to the rooms of our house. During this sudden shift life became the most valued assets, long lost friends became a daily call and time became a commodity freely available without any restrictions or speed. So, life is on a halt now and so are my plans for a celebratory blog. Hence, I decided to simply pour my heart out on this one. This quarantine period has definitely taught me ways and means to live my life and not to merely exist. Over the past I have learned:      Life is full of ...

Bring your own Blessings (BYOB) Let us begin day two of the challenge with the letter ‘B’. I have been thinking a lot about the topic for this one and after many cancellations finalized the above. Now we are mostly aware of BYOB an urbanized version of going Dutch or rather getting your own drinks to the party. This is basically a system of sharing expenses and also giving the sense of being a part of the party. Okay, just kidding it is none of the aforementioned and is the basic way of partying when everyone is practically broke. So, moving on from parties and hangouts. Oh, the nostalgia ! Just like we can share the burden so that we can enjoy a party of a hangout, we can share the burden of sadness and negativity by simply bringing our blessings with us. Blessings are a beacon of hope in the vast ocean of negativity. They are prayers of a better future, a way to assure someone that ‘this too shall pass’ Now, the question is how we can bring our own bl...
