“Every man must do two things alone; he must do his own believing and his own dying.”  Martin Luther simplyathought : The death of a loved one evokes primal emotions. Closer the deceased to you, stronger the sentiment. Loss of life isn’t just the death of a person in the clinical sense of the word. For the anguished souls left behind it is the loss of a lifetime shared together. A sense of suffering so deep that it often takes years to heal. The crushing pain which accompanies the weight of sorrow may bend in front of the towering force of time and reduce its echo, but the murmur of pain still remains. Sorrow, heartache and helplessness can use the vulnerability of a desolate soul to quickly transform themselves into anger, frustration and even hate. Grief explodes. A range of consuming, powerful feelings form a tidal wave which seems to pull us down under. It is then that deep wounds long-buried under the sands of time resurface. Lacerations of hurt healed over the years...

WHY do we Share? simplyathought  - Is sharing an inherent human need? Is it essential to communicate our feelings or thoughts with others? Is it a craving for appreciation which drives us to share? Could our need for solace, propel us into expressing our emotions? Do we share to make the heart feel lighter? Is sharing our way of allowing others to know us a little bit more? I asked myself these questions and continue to figure out the answer but what is as certain as day and night is – The Human Need To Share Exists .   WHAT do we Share? We share moments of joy and  sadness ,  words of anger, our confusion, hour of achievement, the we feel and also our memories. The list is endless. What we are doing, what we intend to do or choose not to do – whatever anyone feels like sharing is unique.  It is unique to each person, in accordance to his life, state of mind and his circumstances. HOW do we Share? The medium of sharing that works best for any one...

“A Mother’s Job Is Never Done” simplyathought : Rita recalled,  HEARING  this statement being made by visiting aunts or friends of her Mother, while they sat in the living room chatting over a cup of cardamom tea, munching delicious hot samosas and crisp cumin cookies. Each one of them, sharing a buzzing story of their enormous ‘To Do List’. A list of chores which they skillfully wrapped up before daring to step out for this much needed break! All ladies, Rita’s Mother included, were quite aware that there remained a number of ‘Yet To Be Done’ tasks, awaiting their attention as soon as they got back home! The chance to step away from their home, to relax and enjoy themselves in peace, was a luxury for most Mother’s in the 19th Century. There was just so much to do! Rita grew up,  SEEING  in her own house, the statement  “A Mother’s Job Is Never Done”  come to life everyday when the day seemed to have fewer hours than those needed by her Mother t...

simplyathought : Mary was a housewife – The word commonly used in many countries to describe a stay at home married woman. A 24 X 7 job. No holidays. No salary and most of the time no appreciation. Strangely Mary didn’t seem to mind any of it. There was never a day in summer or winter when Mary was ‘free’; she was always wrapped up in something. The multiple activities which made up her long day were varied in nature yet there was always some sort of routine; Mary went about executing this routine like a purposeful warrior. No day was alike for her. Despite being engulfed in constantly changing factors such as familial circumstances, moods of people around her, external influences, and her own human limitations; Mary rose each morning like the bright sun rises to shine above the darkness. She did not, for a moment let her energy or her effort submit to the cancer that was silently eating away at her. It was almost as though she and the disease she was suffering from, were darin...

simplyathought : Less of driving more of expert manoeuvring through the traffic; Harry was on his way to work. It would take him another forty-five minutes to reach his office located in the center of the town. This was despite the fact that he had been driving for the past twenty minutes from his home which was well within the city limits! Harry was late to work. The Spring season was over. Looking at the sky from his windscreen, Harry could see the harsh summer sun peeping from behind the white clouds; waiting to increase its heat to unbearable temperatures within weeks. The car air conditioning would soon become ineffective; his city had no beach and there was no family holiday planned for the summer. Harry was not looking forward to the summer; he was annoyed. It felt hard getting through a normal work day any way. The hot weather months made it worse. The morning rush to be ready on time and beat the snarling traffic; finding a suitable parking spot where his car wouldn’t ge...

simplyathought  : Harry sat on his comfortable armchair watching the cricket match with interest. His favourite team stood a good chance of winning today. He was rooting for them. Tina his wife, had given him popcorn and chips to munch on while he watched the game in the living room. Harry was having a delightful Sunday. He felt relaxed and happy. “I need this kind of  a  day more often. This is the life ,  I want.” he mused. “The television is really old.  The  colors and brightness, are not as they should be. It’s lived its life. We need to change it, before it breaks down completely. Buying  a TV  during the  next sale  makes sense. Will tell the Mrs. to look out for a good one, at a good price.” thought Harry.  Getting  Tina to agree, wasn’t going to be easy . Tina wasn’t a fan of technology. It would take her a long time getting used to an electronic  device . Once she learnt to use it she dint want to ch...
