When Elephants Play Football

As a counsellor I use art, play, story telling and activities to help children find themselves, understand behaviour, open conversations, self – reflect and then…………………magic happens. Here is a little story from a little boy as young as 7 years old who was in for counselling this week. It got quite interesting when the story…

For the sake of love 2

My child came back home on his bday. A wonderful gift from God. Many had been praying that he celebrates his bday at home. With much love I baked a cake for him. O yes! he likes cakes. And I got time to bake, because he did not want me that day. And I wanted…

For the sake of love 1

Have you seen the Disney movie ‘Inside Out’? Even though it is not exactly how things are within us but more or less it seems much true. And I have a feeling, my kid’s memory about his mother is fading…….. Hi….don’t worry, this blog entry is just beginning. There is hope in the end but…

A prayer for conversion of heart

Ez 33:11 – I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked man, says the Lord, but rather in his conversion that he may live. I was recently watching a movie in which a Christian family who has suffered a major loss due to the death of their only son wishes to see the…

Learning the Hard Way

My child has been sick for the past three weeks with uncontrollable cough, on and off fever and ear pain. The first week as always, he was advised to wear slippers as the floor is cold, drink warm water to soothe the throat, take regular steam and medicines to recover soon. And as always, he…

Mismatch

Do you have dreams and wishes that are not being fulfilled. And wonder why? I figured out a reason today. MISMATCH …….There is a mismatch. I would have loved to have a car, drive to places but I don’t. I desire to have a car but I still don’t have one. I am not doing…

Check List

Do you make check lists? Sometimes I do, especially now that I am growing older and wiser 🙂 Well it’s definitely something that keeps me up to date with my work, things that might have piled up and needs attention, things I want to complete on a particular day. But sometimes I am not able…

Missed Opportunities…..

Have you missed many opportunities in life or are there people in your life who remind you of missed opportunities? Or simply it’s just you, who keeps reminding self of missed opportunities? Many of us have missed so many opportunities that came our way. But can we humanly grab all of them? How can a…

Choosing the ROAD LESS TRAVELLED.

My heart pains every time I hear about atrocities happening in the world especially the ones nearer home (India) and specifically the ones against women and children. The burning of a victim of rape in Uttar Pradesh has once again made me question the humanness of humans. But I revisit an old blog entry and…

Eternal HOPE brings Internal PEACE?

Few days back I watched a video of America’s Got Talent and it brought with it a strong message. I thank God for this man, for his endurance through 37 years of his life. One thing that struck me in his sharing is when he said ‘Freedom is of the mind, I went to prison…

Alternatives – Conscious Living

Hi, this post is an informational post of available resources for sustainable living for those who are environment and health conscious. I started my journey of reducing non biodegradable waste 4 years back. I haven’t made much progress in these two years but have made many lifestyle changes that will help me reduce my carbon…

Version 1.99 – Challenge to Self Growth

Hello World! This is a greeting that WordPress has inbuilt in, I think, all or most of its templates. So I am on rewind mode today and also play forward. Creating this blog wasn’t something I dreamt of, my dream is different but this, I thought, will help me to get started. This was also…

You are strong coz He is…

When I was in my early 20s, I had just come to experience Christ more deeply and I thought the closer I can know Him is to know His suffering. I began to pray for the Stigmata in my life because that, I felt, was becoming closer to Christ. Little did I know, that few…

Dear Corona,

There is a growing silence on the streets as you move faster than one could imagine. Family members , friends, neighbours, strangers being quarantined, isolated and many questions lingering in the air. What is happening? When will this stop? Will I be able to see my loved ones again? Is the world shutting down its…

Healing Self through Forgiveness

I thought I could forgive people until I understood that I couldn’t always. There was an argument which I tried to deal with myself emotionally. I prayed, forgave, prayed and forgave and convinced myself that I had forgiven by behaving normal while I talked to the person. But every time I picked up a dress…
