R.I.P

R.I.P


The day dawned with the R.I.P messages on social media for K.K and the mind raced down  memory lanes.  We the 90s people all relate to his songs as part of our nostalgic youth.  Now, we are in our forties/fifties.  His songs were a favorite for the farewells, n passing outs.  Each, touching the right chord and we can still feel the lump in our throats.  

 Again, May his soul rest in peace....

This is what has been on my mind all day.  We pray for the soul after it has passed on...

why don't we pray for the souls of our loved ones when they are amongst us?...  Just a thought, I wanted to share. 

Nothing against the R.I.Ps! Its now so normal.  Send/post an R.I.P and it's done.  Like most of our reactions on social media.  Honestly, do we have the time for anything more? Do we actually pray for that soul, unless it has been amongst us?

Instead, if we say a B.I.P (Be in peace) consciously for the souls who are amongst us, wouldn't it work wonders? Just a thought!

Say/send  a B.I.P to your friends and loved ones, just like that!  Send a blessing, just like that...for no reason, no B.days, anniversaries, etc. Just like that! A truly heartfelt blessing, and I feel it will work wonders for that soul when it is there amongst us.  At the end of the day....only blessings count.

Meanwhile, the R.I.Ps will continue for a day or two...and then Boom! Gone! Forgotten...

That soul is truly blessed to go away, just like that!  Doing what he loved most, singing  his heart out to other souls....

Stay blessed K.K., always.   B.I.P wherever is your next destination...You did a good job here boy! You put a smile on many a face and will continue to do so through your songs...

For, the rest of you, I leave you with this thought...B.I.P. and pass on the blessings to many more.

Stay Blessed Always.

    Wishing B.I.P should become a habit. Wonderful thought.

    Lovely thought. I have grown used to saying Stay Blessed nowadays. I think humans really ought to do that - if we can be at peace, then life is good! And I do believe it's not something we're going to find outside of us!

COME SEPTEMBER!!!!

COME  SEPTEMBER!!!!   September 1!! The month starts with the WhatsApp forward of the title song of the epic 1961 American movie COME SEPTEMBER.   For me, it’s pure nostalgia.   I was introduced to it last year by a friend.   Again 2020 special.   This Rock Hudson and  Gina Lollobrigida dance number is the ultimate adrenaline rush to last the whole of September.  I have it running non-stop in my head for days together. Crazy me! I bet it is the same with many of you.  Just that you don’t carry your heart on your sleeve like me! Though I haven’t seen the movie, the tune and the handsome couple convey it all in that dance. It becomes a fantasy for some like me. Yes, a fantasy it is.  To dance with him (My man🤩!) with that sense of joy and passion.   The expression and the body language of the dance say it all.  The chemistry is so evident.  It’s an example of the cosmic energy on the roll!  I bet you don’t und...

LETTING GO OF MY DZIRE....MY PRIDE, MY GRACE!!

  LETTING GO OF MY DZIRE…… MY PRIDE, MY GRACE!! ‘Life is a balance between holding on and letting go’…..RUMI quotes. Easily said than done!  I realized this a few days ago, when the family decided it was time to sell off our old car.  All the logic dished out to me made sense.  But my heart ached.  How would I let go of 11years of having her, the memories that I share with her?  The tears looked foolish, more than ever with so much silver in my hair.   I was supposed to be practical with age! Finally, I let her go with grace(well maintained, shinning and beautiful as ever ) with a prayer that her new owners would keep her with pride as I did. (Hopefully)  It made me think…Should all old things go?  Just because they don’t serve our purpose in the present scenario.  Just because they are old?  Because we cant afford to service them?  (The logic for the car!) The maintenance costs have increased?  I found this logic ech...

HOPELESSNESS TO HOPE ....A JOURNEY

Image
  HOPELESSNESS TO HOPE …….. A JOURNEY As I watched the news on a particular channel, that ended with a good news story, my lips curled in a slight smile.  Hope, in these times, seemed rather alien a thought.  I pondered on these two words. Hope and Hopelessness. These words, I believe resonates with each one of us.  We find ourselves oscillating from one to the other many times in our lives.  Sometimes, many a time each day.  In this still new (although more than a year old now) covid situation, can we be blamed? After all, hope and hopelessness has never been alien to civilization. They have been a constant with humanity. From HOPELESSNESS to HOPE and vice-versa is a journey that all of us have taken time and again. These feelings walk together. Thanks to the uncertainties that we are facing today (It was always there, but not as much!) every situation seems overwhelming.   We seem to be taking this journey more often.   With no...
