Listening is an art that is missing these days.

  Listening is an art that is missing these days. Active listening is a crucial skill that goes beyond simply hearing what someone says.  I was unwell and had lost my voice for almost a week.  Now I am much better but I couldn't speak and whatever little that I spoke was very painful like a needle poking in my throat. I realized that people were not able to understand that empathy was missing or they were too focused on what they had to say, they kept calling me despite messaging them that I couldn't speak. Also whatever little that I spoke to a few people they didn't want to give me a chance to even complete my sentence and before that they would give their views.

What is your Money KArma

  "WHAT IS YOUR MONEY KARMA" This song by Taylor Swift " KARMA" teaches us a big lesson about Karma. We all have learnt from our childhood that don't say bad things and don't do bad things but how many of us really follow? "Karma, the intricate web of cause and effect woven by our actions, holds a profound influence on our lives. What we sow, we inevitably reap. Whether through kindness or malevolence, our deeds reverberate through time, shaping our destiny. Negative actions, thoughts, or intentions, if left unaddressed, can taint our path, leading to a life marred by unforeseen consequences. The repercussions of our actions, often unforeseen but deeply felt, serve as a reminder that every choice bears a weight that echoes in our lives. Embrace positivity, sow seeds of kindness, and nurture a life that blossoms with the harmony of good deeds. Let us tread consciously, for our karma is the artist painting the canvas of our existence." Understanding ...

The Focus

The Focus  Time flies and we don't even realize. In our mechanical life we forget to live those little moments that are truly joyful, beautiful, and happy. I am fortunate that I did justice to my motherhood and my daughters by taking a back seat in my career and I feel no regret for I know the time I spent with them when they really needed me and their childhood is not coming back. Now they are grown up and I am focusing on my career but I still wish I could travel back in time and live their childhood once again. How many of you miss your children's childhood.? "I DO"
