The Next Thirty Days...Day 9 (Remember)



Remember
Remember what?
Whatever you would like too
....
What happened?
Thinking about what to remember
Funny
Why, what's funny?
For you are the one who always to start with "Remember...."
Yes, I do remember that...
So why are you thinking....Just remember whatever you would like too....or whatever you can, don't have to think too much about it
You mean I can think about my first word?
Yes
Or my first step
Yes
Or first day of school
Hmmm
Or my first love
vow...
Or the first time I met my wife
good....
I think ...I jumped too many
Meaning..
I jumped from my first love to my wife...I missed a lot many in between
Like
The first lecture we bunked
Ha...we had almost entered the class and turned back...for movie....God that was some fun
And the first time we flunked....
Ooops.....yeah it was much easier than we had thought....right?
Right..
And it then equally tough getting back on track....
Hmm...yes...forget that what else
What else....let me think
Why do you need to think.....
For they are far too many things to remember...
That's true...even I am finding it difficult
Some bitter...
Some sweet...
Some eventful...
And some really dull...
Some funny..
And some really very emotional ...
Like...becoming a father...
Or utter those magical words...mom...dad
Seeing your little kid take the baby steps...
Then suddenly realizing ....that now they are very much on their own
And you are in the twilight of life....
Having all the time in the world to remember everything...everything
Not knowing what to remember
Yes....but then there are a few who made such difference to my life through the warmth and care that remembering them comes just like the way I breath
I know...we remember them from bottom of our....the depth even the seas can't fathom
Maybe tomorrow....someone will remember us too just the way we remember them
But today it's our time..time to remember and cherish all that we have and all that we do not...
Yes....it's never too late to realize that not everything you want in life is worth remembering..but what you have is much more worth remembering....
REMEMBER
REMEMBER

You Are Not The Only One

You just stumbled upon a brilliant idea. You have to come to believe its a gem of an idea. You have a strong intuition its going to be game changer. You want to turn it into an enterprise. You are excited, since your long cherished entrepreneurial dream is now sure to see daylight. You start putting things in place in run up to your dream venture. You are fiercely protective of your idea and taking every precaution to not let it out. Somehow you believe, you are the only one ever to think about it and if you do share it with someone else, chances are - they may rob you of the idea. So you are not willing to let your guard down. And therefore are reluctant to share, discuss and deliberate the idea with anyone else. At times, even with some who might help you shape and execute the idea. The anxiety and the insecurity of loosing your baby (that too even before its been thoroughly conceived) holds you back. If this is what you have experienced and this what you still believe. Let m...

Day 9 - The Power of Understanding

The words “I understand” hold immense power. In the TV show Two and a Half Men , Charlie Harper often uses this phrase, sometimes with humorous intent. But beyond the humor, these two simple words—"I understand"—carry a depth and magic that is often overlooked. Understanding is the first step toward empathy. It reflects a willingness to connect with another person's experience, their emotions, and their perspective. Yet, to truly understand, we must pause and reflect on what we mean when we say it.  Do we really understand what the other person is going through?  Are we merely acknowledging their words, or are we trying to feel what they feel? True understanding isn’t about sympathy or offering solutions. It’s about resonance.  Do we truly feel the depth of someone’s anxiety or pain, or are we simply familiar with the emotion?  Does understanding require us to have lived through similar circumstances, or is it possible to grasp the weight of another’s experience even...

The Trap of Who vs. The Power of What

In any conversation, debate, or discussion, we often find ourselves fixated on who is speaking rather than on what is being said. The easiest response is to judge the messenger, dismissing their words based on our perception of them—their biases, history, or even our own prejudices. This reflexive focus on 'who' rather than 'what' creates barriers to understanding and blinds us to the essence of the message. The Judgmental Trap When we become obsessed with the speaker rather than their words, we risk falling into a judgmental trap. We start assessing their intent rather than engaging with their argument. We question their credibility, label them based on past interactions, and dismiss their perspective outright. In doing so, we fail to listen. Every speaker, no matter how well-intentioned or knowledgeable, is inherently flawed—just as every argument, no matter how sound, carries its own set of assumptions and imperfections. But if we allow our perception ...
