Spotting the real Tiger

People do ask me what is it like having a sibling or not having one.
Well, you can't even the sunrise and moon rise the same time!

Having people in your life is a tricky blessing. If you are careful you make the tricky part easy and if you are not, then' let's just count the blessings :)

Siblings make value relationships a bit more.They also make you mature early, think for others before you think for yourself and more importantly, siblings have your back.

Not having a sibling, can make you grow up valuing everything a bit more. You need to run your own show and this means you are independent way early.

It's also interesting to note that respecting people, irrespective of having a sibling or none is something you need to learn fast. Respecting makes you humble and grounded.

When the sun shines it's not just the light we get. It's the life we see all around.

During one of my recent visits to Jim Corbett, I met with an elderly guide who was showing us the circuit to spot a tiger. He, in the true Rajasthani spirit, greeted us with folded hands and added as 'Sahab' to our first names. He was knowledgeable and yet so full on passion about the tiger reserve and the hospitality of Rajasthan that I personally spotted the real tiger in real, in person.

Besides the scenic beauty all around, I took this as an another lesson that no matter what you do and where you come from, giving respect is something that still not goes out of fashion and there are some people who genuinely do it from the heart! With or without siblings :P

The Busy Bees who Keep Buzzing

Life has been (un) fair to all of us, at some points. 
But then that's what life is all about. 

Often during my "#MeTimes" I happen to think deep about some of the people that I have met so far in this journey. They amaze me. Some were broken, some were looking for casual sex, some were desperate to be with someone like them, some keenly wanting a worthy relationship, some who were still trying to figure out what is it to be loved and then there were some who just swung by thinking let's see how this works and what if it really does work~!


We take so many turns and twists that we get exhausted in the process and then start blaming life or the people in this life. At the start, all we are looking is for a target to blame things on. Not even thinking for once that we were equally responsible for our actions and our thoughts. 


Then there is this digital world we all live in and get connected with. A simple 'like' from an unknown stranger or a comment from a known enemy can actually channel our thoughts and our entire day!





People, mostly these days showcase themselves as the busiest of the lot who are the only game-changers trying to create an impact. Sad!


In my journeys, all I have learnt everyday is "respect" is always earned by giving the same back. Never ever belittle people whom you don't think highly about. As you grow in life, try to be more calmer, more giving and yes, less of an over-thinker. Help people cut one bad thought and more, give back to the community you are a part of.
