Today's gratitude

Today I am thankful for the people whose concern and care sweeps me off my feet. I am grateful for:

~ Our regular auto-rickshaw driver who is so caring that he takes extra effort to see that each detail is in place. Of course, his consistent questions are bit irritating but to know that he cares gives us a joyous feeling

~ The people in the restaurant where we eat regularly are so mindful of us that they see to it that everything is in place for us.

~ The students who toiled effortlessly for the success of the conference. It was a delight to see them move here and there tirelessly.

Today I learnt important lessons in life. I am thankful for that :)

                                                    Adiago in G minor by Albinoni    

Today it's a year since I last spoke to someone very close to me. I am thankful that I met that wonderful person in my life - I am thankful for the music, the thoughts and the conversations. You are always on my mind.

And, I am thankful for the people who were part of my life yesterday and today. I don't know what tomorrow holds but I am grateful for today.

Joy always :)

When people talk ill of me

Yesterday, I heard from one of my friends that one of our colleagues was badmouthing me to the students. My instant reaction was anger but after I cooled down, I realised that if someone tries badmouthing me, then there is something about me that irks them. Well, I see this point as something to rejoice. Grateful that I was able to see beyond anger. Sometimes negatives show the way (if seen positively).

Joy always :)

Today I am filled with gratitude for:

1. Being my usual self in spite of the restlessness in my mind
2. Opening my self to someone I love
3. Not allowing guilt to colour my emotional well-being
4. For the lovely rich plum cake
5. Sitting by the window and marveling at the snapshots passing by
6. Having met some nice bloggies in the by gone week
7. Learning to understand people for what they are and not restricting them according to my personality.

All the above points are related except for 4 and 6. Its difficult to allow people to let them be as they are for many-a-times I try to objectify them from my perspective. Today gradually I accepted how to respect the other person's personality. It seems ages since I first learnt this and the present -- the actual time of implementing the learnt. I am grateful for this and I hope that I  learn to master this truth.

Two heady days

The conference just got over. I could not ask for more. My paper went on well and the overall feedback about things were good. Met a lot of new people form different places. Learnt new words and ideas. Critisised like crazy and laughed like there was no tomorrow. I am so very thankful for the opportunity and to my guide who made these things happen.

I am indeed indebted to everyone who were part of this conference.
