Breakaway

I first got introduced to this book in my doctor's office, I had read just only the introduction of this book called Into the Wild.Then I wanted to read this book very badly but I was unable to get hold of a copy so decided to settle in seeing the movie of this book called INTO THE WILD. I sometimes see the not so typical movies.This movie caught my attention quite a bit and I don regret for seeing this movie.I was pleased.This is a real life story of a guy who graduates from reputed University and has a well settled life and all of a sudden disappears and he completely destroys his identity.After a couple of years they find his dead ruins in some part of Alaska and journey of that guy to Alaska is made into a movie.I was just wondering, how could some one break away just like that from this materialistic world.Maybe some people are matured enough to see things beyond the materialistic pleasures and when they do they breakaway with characterstic immoderation, break away from the world of abstraction,false security and expenses and as Thoreau correctly said "Rather than love,than money,than faith,than fame, than fairness, give me TRUTH"

Basically,the person decides to go on a walk trail around United States ,he has bad childhood, where his parents married based on a lie,bad parenting,and he ultimately decides to free himself from this monotonous routine of life.By seeing that movie, I felt it is not necessary to be strong but it is very important to feel strong in each and every walk of your life so that one day when everything goes for a downfall, you can measure yourself with your own head and hands.This movie made a quite a bit of impact in me and how parenting plays a vital role in one's life.The guy was brillaint kid and if he had been handled carefully he would have shined very well in his life (maybe thats they say the fragility of a crystal is not its weakness,rather its the strength)and how we are all blessed to have a good part of that.Indeed worth watching it!!!!:-))

Amma!!!

I don know why today I was missing my mom very badly.I felt like talking about her all the time. Yes indeed I miss being her daughter now(now that I am married and have attained officially title as "Mrs") and being with her, sitting and talking with her, laughing with her, shopping with her, gossiping with her. My mom is my first best friend in my life with whom I share everything in my life. I am not sure I am confident enough to do this with anyone other than her in my life.The advice which she gives me at the right time and the way she cares for everyone unconditionally.I owe all my success in my life to her. Her words made me confident whenever my energy level was low. I could not be her and even when I try to be her, I fail every time  Maybe that requires lot of experience,patience and unconditional love.I use to feel very angry when I was entering my adulthood about the advice which she use to give me, but somehow now down the lane I realize how correct she was and how ignorant I was!!!She was perfectly right  every time .I am not sure if I would ever get back those days in my life back, If I get back, I would probably change the way I was with her, would listen to her instantly instead of arguing, protect her, support her in every way  would try and understand her in every way . WISH!!!! I see a shooting star maybe it could come true :-))

ABUSE!!!

I was watching the Oprah Winfrey show yesterday late in the night, where an interesting topic was discussed which was the sexual abuse of young children.A guy at the age of 46 came forward to tell his childhood story of physical abuse. I was terribly shocked to see that  he was physically and sexually abused by his own mother. I could never ever imagine a woman doing it to her own child as I come from a land where woman are being worshiped and women do tremendous sacrifices to bring up their kids.The way the person explained was heartbreaking as his mom would beat him if he does not co-operate and all this happened at the age of 8-9 where kids hardly know the meaning of the adult things going on in the world.The sad part the kid thought it was normal to be intimate with one's own mother and everyone does the same. How innocent that could be?.Maybe that's the innocence which was exploited by the mother.He was scared to get out of the house as he had a younger brother and sister and his mother would start continuing the same with his brother. Of course, they were rescued from this brutality by a missionary church and was given all the help in the world to forget or block the memories of this cruelty.I admired the person's courage to come forward and admit about this and his confidence to move forward in his life and be a father himself today. Hats off to him and his family!!!

Little SAMUEL

We were watching a program called 700 club yesterday in the television. I guess it is a familiar show among the people in the US. But I was watching it for the first time. It is a very good show to watch.

Its a global show where they show different parts of the world and the story which quite caught my attention was that of a little boy called Samuel aged probably around 4-5 whose parents died when he was an infant or so and was being raised by his grandfather.At one point, the grandfather could not afford keep this little one with him so he left him in an orphanage thinking he would get atleast his course of food everyday and such was the condition of the grandfather.

Well, the orphanage owner was moved by this act and took him into their home ,unfortunately
for little sam, as the orphanage was getting too many children, they were unable to afford 3 courses of food for all of the children. Then an American charity association gets to know abt this condition, and comes forward to help them by constructing a bigger kitchen and a dining place for all the children to sit and eat together.

And now our little SAM gets to eat his three courses of food everyday and the way he said 'Thanks' with a big smile on his face bought so much of peace into me.

Maybe that's y they say "Being human is being divine". :-)
