Salute the ordinary!

Rightly said Srama I also think we should pause a minute and admire the morning sun, the children whose talks sometimes surprise us. So many things are there I will come back later. Especially thank the people who bring a smile on our face.

We should live life to express not to impress, should not strive to make our presence felt and just make our absence felt.

 

Wonderfully said Saby!
And I'll say it again - I'm a fan of your articles.

You have given us plenty to think about in the above writeup. Thank you!

 

I am following your footsteps Sabitha...thinking and thanking about each and every person or the atmosphere which make us feel what we are experiencing day to day.

I was originally reminded of the 'squirrel's part in building the bridge of stone to Lanka during the Rama and Ravana days, where it got appreciated and got a pat from Lord Rama himself, resulting the 3 lines on its back, till now.

Salute the ordinary..:bowdown

Yet another lovely, lovely post from you Sabitha. Yes, I join you today in saluting the many, many unsung heroes of my life; those that I take for granted almost all the time. Believe me, this is a huge list but today, I want to thank the one that I take for granted the most.

My husband - One Saturday not too long ago, I was busy with a few things and had asked him to go to the grocery store to pick up milk, vegetables and stuff for the following week. As I was aware of my messed-up memory, I took the time to even make a detailed list for him. Off he went armed with my list and came back a couple of hours later with a sagging van that was screaming to be relieved. I felt grateful enough to make him a cup of coffee only to find out that I was scraping the bottom of the Sugar barrel. 'Oops', said I, with my famous sheepish grin and off went my DH to the store to pick up a box of sugar without as much as a frown on his face. If the shoes were reversed, I probably would have torched him with my third eye but that is just me. How did I ever get so lucky? May be, like Natalie says on 'Monk', I cashed in a lot of my Karma chips, who knows!

Keep dazzling us with your posts, Sabitha.

 

Dear Sabitha,

Yet another thoughtful post from you.:thumbsup Like Sri, I too reminded of the squirrel's part.

I should thank my mom, whom i always take for granted

 

Dear Sabitha,
A very sincere post with apt msg.I feel my mom is more generous in saluting the ordinary than me.I always observe her but when I was young I always felt its part of her chores.At this age I really recognize the value of it & how she left an impression to ordinary people she met in life.Though Im not far from her but still her achievement remains unreachable for me:bonk
I like the helen keller quotes.

 

Dear Rama,

Well said.

Everyone of us has a part to play.Take blogging for instance.Even when the writer writes a good piece, it is not complete if others dont read it, so readers are important, as also the commentators.

K elly is one here, she does not blog, but she posts FB's , she is doing a great job too. Tendulkar is important, so are the spectators, Gurus is important so are the listeners. If u have an empty hall, what will the guru do ? He will be disheartnened and go away, he cant opreach an empty hall can he ?

If we dont have maids life is hell, eveyone one is important, and yes, we need to thank the lord for everything he has given us.We need not be super acheivers, but we too ahve a role to play.

Mukesh Ambani cannot do with out his secretary, or his peon, or the sweeper who cleans his bathroom, or his driver, and so on.All are important.

Thanks for a wonderful post Rama.

Regards

kamal

 

Well said Kamalji.

Sad thing is while some of us acknowledge it - in reality, they may not all be treated right every time.

 

What a thought provoking post Sabitha.

Just this morning, I was overwhelmed by so many things I have to do , and many small thoughts bothering my mind.

Reading your post made me feel better

A cup of coffee and my day would go zoommm
