Sleep
If sleep could take away disappointments and depression, I would want to sleep for the rest of my life.

Being Positive
Day 365: 30 June, 2014 - Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying
So, we have come to this. The last episode of our "Thought Thought" series. An entire year just flew by sprinkling 365 wonderful thoughts on its way. The idea was to trying to spread some positivism around in a way that I know. During the time the contributors think about a positive thought to share, I hoped for a new seed of positivism to be planted in their soul. Likewise when another reads it, the positivism could take its root in their heart as well. I benefited greatly. During the last couple of months especially, this helped me to a great extent. I broke my arm in an accident and I shed not a tear. I stayed confident that everything will be alright in the end and everything happens for a reason. With help from friends, I am now completing this project successfully too. I also wish this did change some lives around. Even if one another person felt a change in their life, it is my success.
I would like to share few of my experiences from this trip. When I told Rajesh I am going to do something of the sort, like always he said "Very good idea. Go rock, girl". And the first proper thought I clicked was his and it read "Feel the fear and do it anyway". His life’s mantra. That is what kept me going.
Each day I dreaded asking people to share a positive thought. I would remember this quote, go ahead and ask. More than 80% of those I requested readily contributed. These are the people who made me believe that "Ask and you shall receive" really works. They made me believe that I could finish what I started. Among these are the people who I call "the saviors". They not only shared a thought, they even got some of their friends to contribute too. Such generosity in helping others. I realised these are the ones who usually go out of their way to help people even if it is in a small way. Good news is there are many such people around us. The world after all is not selfish as we assume.
And then there were people who contributed even though I am a complete stranger to them. I presume they liked the idea and willed to be clicked or just did it because their friend asked them do. Whatever be the reason, thanks guys - you don't know how many days you have made me super glad. This showed me that we are all connected together by an invisible bond.
And there were those who were so shy, that it was cute. They really wanted to contribute and wanted their favorite quote shared, but very shy. So we would sneak to the basement or the roof top and click pics when no one was around. It was like a secret between us. They were super happy when their thoughts were shared online.
And the volunteers. Bless you, good souls. These people heard about my project, got in touch with me and volunteered to contribute. One day I was lost about who to ask next. There was this colleague who celebrated his birthday on the same day, approached me saying he wanted to contribute. Would I say No? Thanks dude, you helped me continue without a break.
And some others who volunteered over long distance. They saw this project on FB and said they wanted to be part of this. In fact, today's is a remote location contribution, like you had already guessed.
And the “quote”-ers. When I approached them, they got super excited and shared multiple thoughts with me over SMS, WhatsApp, Lync, Email... and we would finalised the quote. Once I ask them when we could meet to click the pic, they would panic and opt out. Though they had wonderful thoughts to share, their shyness took over and I could never share them.
Let me not forget to mention the mind stealers. They kept telling me what was wrong in the project, why I would not be able to finish it, why this ridiculous since there are innumerable positive thoughts already on the web, why taking pics was a stupid idea, giving me various nick names like mad girl, jobless, etc. Thanks to you guys. You helped me to stay focused and determined. I dedicate today's thought to you to show "success" is not what YOU define for others. Get busy living and letting others live; or you would die unnoticed.
On the happier side, our 365 days Thought Thought project got featured in my workplace's newsletter. A memory I would cherish for long.

My Fear
It has been ages since I wrote; and never before about my frights.
I mean, internet (a.k.a social network) is not the place to reveal your
insecurities. Though being in a secure, loving family; married to the most
trust worthy guy I’ve ever known, having life-long male friends, etc my fears
of being mishandled has not reduced. As I grew older, my fears have only
increased.
The wounds caused by few incidents in the by-gone days and experiences shared by my girlfriends were deep. They
have definitely healed but the ugly scars still remains. Every time, I repeat, every single time I see
a stranger talking to a young kid (could be a stranger to me, again), I panic.
There is this sensation of profuse sweating and breathlessness, only that no
one can see it. I am imagining things I am not supposed to. The logical sense in me knows that not all are
some evil molesters trying to take over anyone falling in their eye sight. But
the sensitive being in me keeps rining the warning bells.
One of my friends vouches that there would not be a single
woman who had not been groped at least once in her life time. Is it true? Would
my mom, aunt, granny, and my best friend too have gone through this? Is it
alright to take it as part of life and move on? It scares me more. If they
faced it, how are they OK? I am never OK. People who are acquainted with me
know me as an extrovert. I am not. My big smile, being talkative, maintaining
eye-contact, is my ways of hiding my insecurity. Those are my hopes that I do
not send the wrong signal to the other person – be it a woman or a man. I
strongly believe and know that wrongdoers are not gender specific. I also know
that looks are deceiving.
I had been to a friend’s place over the weekend. My friend
asked her 11yr old daughter to run up to another neighbor’s house to convey/
get something. I panicked. I so know that she and the neighbor are like BFF. I
suddenly became chippy and told her to go herself or call her up over the
phone. Before my friend could sense the tension in my voice, I started talking
about something else. I did not want them to know. What if they judge me crazy?
At the same time, I wanted them to know and wanted them to be extra precautions.
I have no clue where this would take me to. I live with my
fears and also live each day with the joys it brings. I am being a very
cautious parent now. The day I knew I am to be a mom soon, I vowed to educate
my child to be aware of people around him, to be intuitive, to be courageous
and most of to treat every other human with respect. To Live and let live, in
peace.
