Say Sorry ! - Post no. 9 - Blog marathon

-
Never underestimate the power of a heartfelt  apology. 

 A heartfelt 'Sorry' can mend a broken heart to a great extent, it can also put the soul back into a tired and dejected person who might be waiting for that 'Sorry'. I personally feel that their should not be any egos attached to a sorry.  If you are saying sorry just as a formality then chances are high that  person to whom you are saying it shall  definitely understand that your sorry was just  a hollow word, that it had no depth or feeling to it .

I have seen relationships crumbling under the weight of the expectation of a sorry, distances dragging long and heavy because of the lack of it.  I have done it myself, I just tossed away precious years of my life -  away from a very important and  loved person in my life,  just because I hesitated to say sorry for a long long time.

I feel that relationships can be saved and families can be  resurrected if people conjured up the courage to apologise.  A heartfelt apology can be a soothing balm to the fractured ego and shattered expectations of  the person to whom you are saying this magical five letter word.

Do not feel shy or belittled if you ever have to apologise to a loved one, he may be your child, she may be your wife, he may your father or she may be you mother or your daughter or Aunt or a dear friend, they will all understand your  angst and sorrow.  They will surely recognize the earnestness with which you have accepted  your mistake and will soak up your eagerness to reach out.  Your 'Sorry' will act as a magic wand - yes it will, try it out !  

On this valentine day  go ahead,  muster up the courage that had been eluding you for so long, crush that ego that had been strangle-holding you for so long.  Go  ahead and reach out to that person who genuinely deserves your apology so that your valuable relationship does not die and wither out under the undue weight of inflated egos and unrelenting mindsets.

    I guess experience and age tempers you down and i find it so easy to say Sorry to my loved ones these days. Never used to be like that before. I found it so hard to accept mistakes and say a sorry then.

In search of the prefect 'Yeast'..... post no. 2

Apart from the blogathon that I have jumped into there is another very important issue (!) which has been circling inside my head for long and hold your breath, it is about getting hold of a good yeast (!!) So that I can venture into bread baking..which I had been longing to do  for so long.   This search for a good yeast has been going on for so long that I have tried at least 4 to 5 types of yeast till now, I brought a pack from kerala store in Delhi,  then when I went to Kerala I brought two packs from a bakery thinking that the kind of stuff they have at their shop, definitely they must be selling  good yeast and was excited about trying it out.. then I brought packs from different bakeries in  Delhi.. to cut a long story short... none.. yes... NONE of the yeast ever worked.  During this Diwali I wanted to bake cinnamon rolls  and started imagining the joy of my children when they will be eating the perfect, melt in mouth cinnamon rolls made by their great Mom … but a

Love for lanterns...post no. 16

    Image courtesy : Internet.  M y love for lanterns stem from my childhood memories. Lanterns are an integral part of that memory because we lived in a house in a small town in Kerala, this place had no electricity at that time, but we never ever actually felt the lack of it.   The dim light of the rustic lantern which we kept on the ‘poomukham’ (or raised verandah in English) shall remain fresh in my memory forever. We studied under that light, we prayed and played pranks on each other under that light.   Those lanterns and the luminous light emanating from it was witness to some of  the bestest years of my life.   These are some images which I heart, including the header of my blog,  also I have a small collection of miniature lanterns with me.    This mini post is dedicated to my love for lanterns.
