When life gives you lemon....

I had my primary and high schooling at a christian missionary school. And much of my English knowledge I owe this to my school. It was a cosmopolitan experience. I enjoyed each and every moment, those teachers and friends were just enriching experience. There was never a dull scenario.

The specialty of my schooling was I never felt that I was schooled. There was never a need wherein my parents had to have personal talk to the teachers regarding my studies or conduct in the classroom. And ten years just passed like a bullet train journey with a sense of comfort.

You might be wondering what was the need to relive the school days. My take about the aspect is that we are all made to rerun. I mean we are made to believe that we living at someone's mercy. The air we breathe, the sunlight we receive, the rain that fills our ponds and the memories that enrich our hearts. We are expected to infer that we are indeed living each and every milli-second stealing life out of our living. And that is a worst form of making a living worse than that of a beggar who owes nothing to anyone.

Without going into details of who was responsible to drive us into such a situation, our focus should be how to insulate our future generation from getting entrapped. I don't mean that we should hide the reality from them but hide them from reality.

Pollination of memories

It was not a usual weekend as everyone in the family wanted to get ready for a wedding ceremony. A mother was not only expected to dress up herself but also make a perfect costume for her kids. On other end father was thinking about what should be presented to the inviter to make the occasion memorable. He also needs to cross check on preparedness of the family members.

 The car booked for the wedding venue arrived at the doorstep and everyone hustled around the car in response to the honking by the driver. While everyone on the way mother suddenly tried to recollect whether she had locked the regulator of gas stove and father assured that everything was checked before locking the door of the house.

Mother who was glancing through the photos of the wedding in old age couldn't help but shed tears on those memorable days when they traveled as a family which was soul satisfying as against the present situation wherein her kids settled in foreign abroad settled with their own families.

 We never know when our honeymoon period with soul mates end due to situation of career lookouts or misunderstanding due to money matters or due to conflict of interest. Never miss an opportunity to spend time with family and friends as they make your life memorable, the moments that never reoccur once you miss the chance due to worldly things.
