“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.

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!

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...
