Welcome Thought




This is my first bog!

A quick lookup of MS Word Thesaurus did not produce any result for the word "Blog". Not surprising - technology is improving at the speed of light and many old things are becoming obsolete and many new things are being created. But not all things change this way for example love of parents!

I dedicate my first blog to my parents and to parents in general without whom we would not have seen the world. My parents raised me in a village where there was no electricity till 1987 and yet they had great vision for my life. They had the unflinching commitment for my study and growth in my life, even when they did not know where I am heading to, as long as their heart said I am going in the right direction. Salutations to them, who have seen worst times in their lives but have not let them even touch us. How can I say enough for them, who have spent innumerable sleepless nights when I was ill; who could not savor food when I was upset.

I cannot forget the day when mom was hospitalized for an operation but they did not inform me as I was going for a job interview the same day. Such is greatness of parents that they get hurt hundred times more for a seemingly small pain of mine. To them the life is out when I am away from their eyes.

Recently when I was home, I was sharing about my work challenges and growth and their face would light up for every small achievement of mine. Papa never expresses his emotions easily but I could read his happiness without any difficulty. I wonder, what connection is this; that binds children with parents – a life to life connection; so powerful but inexplicable.

I sign off today by offering my salutations to my parents with immense love!
