Peel it off..

 



Brownish or  yellowish one - Which banana do you pick at first glance?!


Many a time, I choose the bright yellow one and the most ripened, brownish one wasn’t a preferred choice.


Imagining the brownish one to be too ripened and clumsy to eat. 

…

Until I knew how pure it looked inside. Until I actually peeled and savoured the ripened one with open heart. 

Until I grooved on its health rewards and acquired taste.

…

Often, we get carried away with constant judgements from surface level experiences. 

Rather, deep diving may take us to unknown depths and ecstasies we never dreamt off.!


Yours Soulfully

The Knee Band Story

 “Open your legs, Push, Push, come on, it’s too comfortable for your capacity!” “Definitely no, You have not given your full potential!”  “Gargi, you still have the style in you! All you need is a little more practise”  “What has happened to your pace, why so rigid, when do we get to see our old “speedster” Gargi?”  Well, the scene here is a sprint practice for a competition with my running group.  Those are the diverse, invigorating yet pinching comments from my near and dear run-mates.  I understand where the expectations come from. I was shining as a lightning speed runner few years back. Me in my speedster form in a relay few years back   As life took on its own course, varied sorts of traumatic incidents, pain, priorities engulfed me, resulting in lesser speed workouts.  It was a sprint practice after a very long time. Strengthening exercises, interval runs, freeform, running with free mind - I exercised almost most of them.  Despite tha...

My Twin-story: Manasa and Shareera

Image
Dear readers,   It’s been a while since I blogged.  Nevertheless, I am thrilled in unravelling my twin children: Manasa and Shareera.  (Leaving their gender to decide for themselves later; for now it is “she”!) It’s been quite a journey trying to understand and raise them with quality. Still a long way to go!  Manasa is predictably unpredictable. Bundle of varied emotions. A born leader - smart enough to get things done from Shareera! Intellectual. Creative. Over imaginative - sometimes out of reality.  Manasa becomes super naughty if not consciously taken care! Shareera - a Lover of physical activities. Strong. Intuitive. Brilliant, action oriented Doer; However, heavily influenced by Manasa.  If not taken care consistently, Shareera becomes weaker with time easily. When they yearn for junk food, like all parents, I heed to their tasting buds and let them enjoy. However, driving them to healthy track soon.  Some days, Shareera may totally avoid food, ...

The “Jammed” Grasshopper Story

Image
  It was a nerve biting, emotional experience with an hefty insect at our home recently. A gigantic, pista-green grasshopper - with long legs and short antenna - peeked into our kitchen, in absolute silence. Fearing its painful bites, We started chasing it away. I and Amma(mom) were such a determined “shooing-away” team that the hopper not knowing where-else to escape, it jammed itself in between immovable, narrow glass doors. With sudden dramatic turn of events, feeling awfully upset and guilty, We rigorously made every possible attempt to free its tussle. Into the tiny teeny glass door’s gap, we carefully plugged in varied shapes of tools - long forceps, coriander stem, curry leaves stem, a thin string etc. We were operating in a mode of tension and guilt to save the jammed creature’s life. The more we tried to help the poor creature to get out of the suppressing narrow glasses, the more it got pushed towards the closed wall. The hopper wasn’t ready to grab support - it was in pa...
