My Parents

I have always believed in God ! My philosophy has been "Do your best
and leave the rest at his will."

Connecting with God at times has really
helped me in maintaining my inner strength and will.

Never in my life will I forget what my father told me - "Son, Look for
the best and get for the best.Leave the rest to God.Also, if you want
to stand apart from the crowd then prove your mettle." These words
always had a powerful impact on me. Whatever is beyond our control is
HIS will. As the Nuns at my school always rightly said, "God helps
those who help themselves." But now at this stage of life I understand
the veracity of these words!

Happiness,sadness,Success and failures are different aspects of life.They are transient and ever changing.What remains constant is the spiritual strength.

My father has been a great influence in my life. He's very recital by nature but like him, I believe that all religions in this world teach us the same basic truth and Goodness. Recently I read a miniature version of Bible and to my amazement I found that the teachings in it were no different than what our Guru's preached in the stories which my mother told me in my childhood. No doubt, she still tells me a couple of stories whenever I meet her.:)

My mother is very religious and innocent by nature.A house-wife by profession she has no aspirations other than looking at her children happy. This touches me a lot!
I just can't describe the happiness at her face whenever she gets to see me after months. It's priceless for me and I think I'll do anything in this world to keep both Mama and Dad happy.

We have a maid who comes to our house for cleaning from the past sixteen years! She has grown old now and even her daughter got married. Though they are very poor by condition, I can't remember any instance in my life when my mother taught us to discriminate us from them. It is the maid's loyal nature that has kept her attached to our family for so long.

Another important thing I learnt from my mother is the importance of prayers.She always said that more than doing for good, its prayer's that matter the most, because prayers cannot be bought. It helps us from the unforeseen and unfortunate circumstances of life.


I guess I have revealed a lot about my family today but I guess it's worth to be known by all.:)
