Do Not Panic!!!

Speaking from several experiences as a fighter pilot, I feel even on the ground, in normal life, when you get into a situation that demands calmness and you panic!
Tell yourself... "Do Not Panic."

In silent communion

Her mellifluous voice served me better
Than all alarm clocks put together
As I woke up, each morning,
To the melodious tune of the cuckoo bird |

Classic Bollywood: GHAR - Four Fab Songs
by Abhijit bhaduri
Ghar is what the Gulzar-RD Burman-Kishore magic is all about. I have always wondered whether this is a film one should watch because it shows the transition of Rekha as an actress or just listen to the music. I think I'll vote for the music. |

The Privilege
by Ananya Srivastava
I had a talk with life last night
It told me about itself, and of its might.
I found that it had achieved nothing with ease,
And behind the velvetiness lay many a crease.
I saw numerous craftily washed wounds and stains,
Of cruelty, misunderstan... |

From Here To Where ?
by Axee
Having come thus far at fifty.
I leave a door to the future... ajar,
Feeling kind of... drifty, thrifty and nifty.
Wondering pondering, from here to where?
Do I dare?
Or do I care to go, where I care, with care.
Minus the natural dare.

4 Problem solving tools
by Axee
God helps those who help themselves.
But How?
To reach God: you need to communicate with him.
To communicate, you need to pray as you don’t get to him by any other way.
A prayer bereft of feelings of Love is like...a lake without water.
Lo... |

Scarecrow!
by Pramod Joshi
It moved
I imagined
It was real
Life-like, ready to attack
I believed
It breathed.
It stood
Arms aloft
Appearing bigger
The breeze billowing
Its ramrod leggings
I shuddered
It sniggered.
It waved
As if to shoo
Me away
The gree... |

After a thousand years…
by Ghazala Sarfraz
After a thousand years of darkness -
Let’s spread the light
Light of joy, laughter and happiness,
Let’s end this dark night
It’s time to walk in the sun rays –
To be bright and have an upward glide
To strive for new horizons and n... |

Mother-Daughter Matrix
by Chitra Jha
You know that the bond between a mother and a daughter is indeed very unique, and nothing can ever break it. But once your daughter grows up and becomes her own person, this bond is often tested to its limits. Yes, it remains the most complex of all relationships. Despite mothers and daughters sharing a special bond, there are some complex emotions that play a role in this sacred bond. |

Parenthood changed my life!
by Guest Tickler
Becoming a “real” dad was a combination of slow and natural process of “awakening” and conscious self-reminding, self-training, or self-conditioning that I am already a father and I have to change my ways. Not all of them are pleasant, or voluntary, I’m telling you.

Joy of Parenting Adolescents!
by Chitra Jha
The truth remains that adolescents deal with their own demons in their own way. To be accepted by their peers means a lot to them. They need to belong in their peer group. If they harbour a poor body image, or any other perceived inadequacy; it can play havoc with their mental peace. They encounter enough pressure in their own little worlds. All they need from us is complete acceptance. Accept them for what they are. |

Super mom or super exhausted mom?
by
Super moms are supposed to be good jugglers so we juggle a job, home, a child and a husband. Super moms are always on the go, so we drive our kids to soccer, ballet and museums. Super moms are known to be social, so we choose play dates on weekends instead of sleep. Sometimes I wonder, if we are secretly vying for the “super mom” label? |
