Tare Zameen Per

Dear Friends,
  Good Evening!
                            It's a fine and pleasant evening!

I am busy with work but there is not much stress...or I don't allow stress to affect me badly.I find happiness and  cheer in and around.

Exams are fast approaching and educational counselling is of great importance now.We have to encourage students and instil confidence in them.Praise works wonders.Children love to be appreciated.We must respect them and teach them to respect themselves.When they live with acceptance they start making friends and they love life.

It's not easy to handle children who don't have proper background like educated parents and good social cirle to move around.

The other day I had a missed call.When I called the number,my little client Vikhyat picked up.His father was out of station and the balance was only for one rupee.He was free to use mobile in his father's absence.Whenever I leave for hometown he keeps me updated about the happenings.It's a bond of love and trust.I know he loves me a lot,but I should talk about cricket,world cup and cricketers!And the is one last game I know to talk about!:)
I do take newspapers for my little clients and they are so excited to see the sports page.They start telling me stories of their favourite players.
Vikhyat loves showing me the monkeys jumping from the treetops to the tiled roof.Now the topic starts,how fast they run and all other related details.It's fun watching the monkeys jumping up and down..
Latest fim songs are always on his lips and I must say,he sings so well.I join him and encourage him.

The other day I was trying to teach something important and gave him a topic to write down.That is the last thing he would do!In between he came to me and whispered.......''you look  so nice when you leave your hair!''I could not help smiling and replied...''Tell your Mom to leave her hair''.

EverydayI am  thinking on new ways to make him understand how important  education is!:)

The other day I had a mail.It was from my little friend,Mohit who had left station due to his dad's transfer.He wants to convey,he is missing a lot... A reply assuring my love and care would have made him happy.

Now I can never forget a cute little face of a five year old boy.I used to meet him once a week and used to ask his name.I do forget names and numbers and I always had to ask him again and again.He must have been  fed up.Next time when I asked his name,he told,''What is the use of telling you, my name?Next week you will ask again''.:)I was so embarassed.....We should never underestimate these cute little friends.
Ankit spent his pocket money and bought me a beautiful black bracelt...I was so touched by his kind and loving gesture....
I was so upset when little Keiv brought the newspaper to show his beloved Dad's photograph in obituary column....the boy was lost and sad...I had to search for words to comfort him.

Girls always talk about their dolls and new dress or the new dance number they have learnt...But they are willing to learn..They pay attention...
Here are some of the ways and methods I adopt.....

I give tunes to small devotioanl songs and make them pray....
Make them undesratnd prayers do wonders in life....
To be grateful to God for all blessings!

Direct small skits for them....

And help them discover themselves....
Organise competitions in different events

Thus help them to explore and discover..

Show movies like Baby's Day Out

And make them laugh and be happy...
To have role models and to dream high..
To behave properly and be the pride of their parents...
To love and respect elders and seek their blessings...

Giving chances to address a larger group

And make them remove stage fear and instil confidence!

Giving children's magazines to read

And to widen the horizon of imagination...

Taking them for field trips and nature walks...

Thus helping them to love nature......

Narrating stories with voice modulation and actions

Reciting catchy poems and songs...

Celebrating festivals and important days,

Thus helping to be proud of our culture...

Asking their valuable suggestions

In organising programmes....

Sharing lunch and teaching to be kind.....

I am so grateful to these wonderful friends

They make my moments happy and memorable...

And now I am going to learn  cricket...
To talk about the sixers and wickets!:)

Then watch the excitement in the twinkling eyes!

My cute little friends make me smile

And bring new hopes and dreams!

They teach me new things everyday!

I am so happy in their company!

Kids are bundle of fun,knowledge and talents

They must be moulded with love and care!

Friends,love and express your love to kids...

They are Tare Zameen Per!
Please remember my young friends,
Who are going to appear for board exams
You will be always in my prayers!

Wishing you a wonderful and relaxing night,

It's Anu signing off..........

A REASON TO FEEL BLESSED

18th,February,2011
Friday
Dear Friends,
                   Good Evening!
The week started on sad news and low spirits!The life of two small kids were shattered mercilessly.In the first case the boy lost his mother in an unnatural way..She had just come back home after attending haldi kumum pooja.The husband started picking up quarrel and beating her.This was a daily scene.She went inside the room and hung herself. A real tragedy!She was one mother who expressed her dreams to the teacher about her elder daughter that she should never suffer a life like hers...She wants her daughter to be educated at any cost.
In the second case the smart and cheerful boy lost his Daddy in the church.Heis full of spirits and his mother is expecting the second child.I know the father and theirs was a happy and peaceful family...
Then my colleague lost his wife.She was bedridden.Just last month their son got married and it was a grand event....

In a very tragic accident five cute and innocent kids lost their lives with their aayah when the van fell in the roadside river....It was due to overspeed of the driver...it was terrible to see the empty small chairs and the notebooks in the classroom.The teacher was crying.....the heartbroken parents who dressed up their kids and sent them to school.......Here we forget to ask God,''Why?''

As I am down with fever,cold and headache,most of the days I had to take leave.....Sickness made me gloomy and I was not in a mood to talk even with close friends...someone sent flowers...someone sent lovely Hindi songs.....

Friends sent postive energy and prayers...I was touched...They were caring..I am in their prayers....

I refused to attend calls...I knew I was hurting someone who really cares...But I wanted to be alone...the silence was comforting...Sometimes we need someone else to show what we are.It is true,but we must in proper health and mood to listen to.

But then how long?The very thought brings a transformation  and a change in attitude...

I know it too will pass....But,earlier the better.

 I have to be in high spirits to cheer up my clients...

I need positive thoughts and the right kind of energy....
Somewhere someone loves me so dearly....

I live in somone's heart...

There is still comapssion,empathy and tenderness in minds;

Life is still beautiful....

Someone wants to share his/her pain with me,

Making me feel I am very much wanted.

I must have a control on my temper.

Someone really thinks I am so wonderful...

I do hear the voice of hope in my heart.
I am good at something or the other.

Fear is not going to paralyze me.

There are full chances of succeeding in my work.

Everything will turn out right.

Hope is a wonderful thing,something to be cherished and nurtured and something that will refresh us in return.And it can be found in each one of us.It brings light in our lives.Friends,never lose hope!

The grand Attukal Pongala is tomorrow in Attukal Devi Temple,Thiruvananthapuram!This temple is known as the Sabarimala of ladies.Nearly twentyfive lakhs of ladies will participate in it.

Live telecast will be on different channels.

May Goddess Bless one and all!

Wishing you a peaceful night,
And I must tell,I am feeling much better now.................

It was a lovely and surprise gift for -V-Day!

My eyes are moist and heartbeats are faster......You have made my day.so special....I do feel the depth and honesty of each and every word!:)

Somebody has asked me to explain the relationship between U and Me...
They expected the answer ...'Just Friends''.
But I simply smiled and said,''God's Gift!''
Very true,my dear!:)

The evening has a special glow....
The star studded sky is amazing...
The moon has a special smile...
The blooms have become silent
The buds are getting ready to bloom.

The ambience is perfect to feel love,

The feeling of the day!

People do stop to listen to their heartbeats

Checking whethet love is bonding two hearts,

Sailing through testing and trying times,

Love is bound to be eternal!
Being there is a wonderful feeling...
Being there in every way...
However big or small...
It means support,togetherness and understanding.
Love is the essence of any relationship!
Small things do matter a lot...
Enquiring about the well being,even a good morning,
Manners do matter.
Inspiring each other,being together
Let the love grow day by day!
It's a wonderful feeling that we are being loved!
The small words of praise at the right time
Make a lot of difference in moods!

Singing the most popular love songs,

When the night becomes sleepless

Spending the time together

It's the most awaited day of the year,
By all those are in love....
Busy buying the gifts to be treasured,
Reigniting one's passion for his/her beloved,
Let the romance flow in words....
Get set and say it in whispers,
When the moon smiles at you
With all the blessings....

Har pal nazre unko dekhna chahe to aankhoan ka kya qasoor ?[If everytime my eyes want to see him/her how can you blame the eyes?]

Har pal khusboo unki aaye to saanso ka kya qasoor [If each moment I feel /his fragrance,how  can you blame the breath?]Waise to sapne puch ker nahi aate ,[Anyways,dreams don't come to us asking permission]

Per sapne hi unke aaye to raato ka kya qasoor ?[But if the dream is about him/her how can you blame the night?]

There is a special Valentine's Day Dine and Dance programme in Santa Monica.There are a series of shows to make the evening entertaining  such as a shadow dance,heartbeat contest,handmime performance,dance shows etc.

The town is going to be painted red.....

Love is in the air....

Getting ready to shake a leg,
Holding hands in hand,

Planting a soft kiss that spreads fire........

Waiting to be lost in the passion....

Wishing you a love filled day ahead,
Sending the newly bloomed fragrant jasmines,
As I know they are your favourite flowers,
Just like mine.........:)

What Does Your Heart Say?

9th February,2011

Wednesday
Dear Friends,
       Good Evening!
It was not just another happy,carefree,fun-filled day for me.Clients are different and some are so difficult to handle.We try our level best to bring out the best in our clients.We believe in ,''Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier''.Someone turned out to be really happy and here is the proof.:)
Today's post is based on a mail received from one  such client.
''Many times in life, whether a thing is worth doing or not, really depends on how you look at it.
Take up all your courage
and do something your heart tells you to do
so that you may not regret not doing it later in your life.''

  T aking a deep breath in and a deep breath out,

Today in this lovely evening
Let me listen to  my heartbeats carefully.
You can hear all those whispers....
  I trust you more than me;

You are the light in my life.

You've changed my world by magical words.

Please don't walk away from my life.
You've driven my nightmares away...........

I've just started living my life,

Don't tell me about right and wrong

You are the kind and priceless gift of my life..

Whoever you are,I am thankful to you!

There is no turning back.....

I am enjoying your compnay
I am feeling the cool and refreshing breeze,
You have given colours to my dreams.

Tears are formed in my eyes...

My heart tells to be with you...

Hope you will let me in....
Please accept my invitation on 14th evening,
I just want to have a memorable day in my life!
Waiting for your favourable reply......
                                  Lovingly yours,
                                   ............................
Now my dearies.........
Here  I do look for a solution...
Whether the head should rule the heart
Or the heart should should rule the head?:)


I really wish for some cool drizzles now.....



Wishing you a wonderful and beautiful night,

It's Anu signing off........

Are You A Reason To Smile?

5th February,2011

Saturday

Dear Friends,

           Good Evening!

The day was hectic.Submissions and more demands.The next week also is not going to be very attractive.May be I shouldn't think about work all the time.I have to think about enjoying life too.In today's hectic life we forget to savor small pleasures while we make big plans.
Friends do help a lot in de stressing.They reach us by mails,calls,sms and chat messages.We are lucky if we have someone to communicate with.And that doesn't need efforts.Even strangers are quick to extend helping hands.At times from somehwere a smile quickens our heartbeat and signalls hope .Someone reaches us to get over our sorrows and heal the wounds.He/she is called a Friend  who makes us live every minute of our lives with love,happiness,grace and gratitude.

''Being there'' is the best way to express our care and love.Thanks a lot for the beautiful flowers,loving chats and deep concern.Thanks a bunch for the patient hearing.Friend,you mean a lot to me.

Even now when I am writing this post,your presence is a valuable gift for me.I dedicate this close-to -heart post to you,my friend!:)

I really enjoy watching the Tamil movie-M.Kumaran,the son of Mahalakshmi-chatting with my friend, I am writing this post.:)Cool!Hey,Nadiya Moithu is rocking in this movie!Even after years she looks so young and energetic.

''Many people will walk in and out of your life,but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart''.
And today just let me pen down the thoughts about my friend.

Right now I feel like to be with my friend

Who knows me so well.

It's a cool and beautiful evening..

The sea shore is so inviting....

And I would like to go for a long walk

Enjoying the cool breeze that brushes my hair

Holding hands in hands with my friend.
It's fun listening to the music of waves

The creaking cry of a gull.

I love the sound of soft rasp of drifting sand,

The tiny wind -whispering in the grasses...
Picking up  a handful of sand
And letting it stream between my fingers give joy.
Writing down my worries on the sand,

I am so sure the beautiful waves take care of them!

Please give a try at the next chance!

My friends,the tides teach us patience.

Let this evening pass very slowly.
I am so excited that you are with me
And beside me as the day ends.
I am so touched by your miraculous quality in your attitude  and words.
What a priceless gift to get,

It takes away my breath!

I just don't want to miss my friend.

He is humorous and there is eagerness in his eyes.

These  are the beautiful and exciting moments

That we are going to cherish forever!

You know,''A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out''.

               Walter Winchell

Thank you,God for giving me this beautiful night!

Friends,it's time for you to make a call.You are the reason for someone's smile.trust me.:)

Wishing you a relaxing evening,

And a wonderful Sunday,
Reminding you once again.
'Being there' is the ultimate expression of good friendship.

I am eager to know now,

Am I the reason for your smile?:)

Sweet Dreams and Good Night.

SABKA JEEVAN HI BAN JAAYE MADHUVAN.....

2nd February,2011

Wednesday

Dear Friends,

             Good Evening!I wish all of you a wonderful February! So fast,the first month of the New Year has already gone.My New Year Resolutions...My God!Gone with the wind?Nah...Still working on them.:)
''Wish I may,wish I might,
Make someone hapy today
With words I say and songs I play
To God,I pray,to God I say,
Take good care of my friends today''.

Today I would like to share a beautiful forward with you based on proverbs.I am sure you will enjoy and will carry the valuable lessons home.

''He who fails to understand a look will not be able to understand a long explanation''.

Let's learn to look at the eyes and see the expressions.Just one look can convey the whole lot of feelings and mood.

''If you fall seven times,get up eight times''.

I know ,it is not easy;still we can.Lots of positive thoughts,inspiration and encouragement help us to get up and live our life.Never give up.

''Patience is a tree with bitter roots and sweet fruit''.

For the sweet fruit we can tolerate the bitterness of roots.They support us.Let us be patient.

''Pining about the past is like chasing the wind''.
''The past should be used as a trampoline and not as a couch''.

It is difficult to forget the post.but time heals the wounds.Life must go on.Let us surrender our sorrows at the Lotus Feet Of God.

Then why can't we give a try?

''The world will make way for a man who knows where he is going''.
So,let us choose the right path to reach our destination.There are no shortcuts to success.

''Since there is  nothing  more precious than time,there is no greater than generosity than giving it away''.
Let us spare our time to listen to the sorrows of our friends and the needy and to wipe their tears.

So,then cheers!Let your life be like a garden full of fragrant and enchanting flowers!You are in my thoughts and prayers!:)
Let your life be more beautiful....
Wishing you a beautiful night with sweet dreams,
