Day #100: Our Creator (100 days gratitude challenge)

Day #100:  Our Creator
(100 days gratitude challenge)
Today is the last of the 100-day gratitude challenge and it is dedicated to my Creator, the creator of all that we see, hold, enjoy and experience. He is the reason that I am here, you are here and we are having this conversation (or monologue). He is the reason behind everything in my world and yours.
The minute I say that then a few bright minds ask, “Is he behind the murders, the crime, the poverty and the ills that ails our world?” Why would a God do that? 
Answer: The beauty of our creation is, he made us in his spitting image and gave us free will to do as we please. So we wield as much power as He has but since we are a prisoner of our collective consciousness we are unable to see our pure potential and live bounded by the mediocrity and weaknesses of our flesh.
I am grateful to our Creator for making us the way he did and giving us the power to become Him. I am discovering more and more in myself and more and more in other people in this world that are pushing the boundaries of our beliefs and our possibilities. The world is truly boundless now and anyone has the power to become anything if they are able to forge their beliefs and their collective consciousness to push beyond where any man has gone before.
You are seeing pieces of evidence of this daily in the way our world is changing and the way the human experience is evolving. In our lifetime we are seeing more changes happen to our world than it happened in the last 100,000 years. We are the luckiest human beings in our evolution because we are discovering how we have the power to make life or to take it, how we can extend it or curtail it, how we can change our environment or control it. We have all the powers at our disposal and discovering more and more daily of how science is able to replace cells, organs, bones and ultimately clone or create beings.
It's a brave new world out there and I’m excited to see what 2018 has in store for us.
Thank you, dear Lord, for everything in my life.
Happy 2018 my fellow cosmic travellers. Let’s have a rocking 2018!

This post ends my 100-day gratitude challenge for the year. Thank you for being part of my journey.

Day #96: Rituals (100 day gratitude challenge)

Day #96:     Rituals (100 day gratitude challenge) The rituals associated with the passing away of a family member are elaborate in most customs. The Indian Hindu customs are very elaborate and spread over a longer period than for us Indian Catholics for whom it is just 3 days of mourning and then life gets back to normal. There are a funeral service and a third-day memorial mass. The family stays together during this time. There are lots of discussions on what happened, how it happened, old memories, recent memories and a lot more so it takes the mind off the subject for the grieving members of the family. They get time to grieve heal and adjust to the new reality of a life without this person who was an integral part for so long. My sister and her sons were dealing with all of this that the shock of learning of the passing of the man of the house was cushioned and they could slowly wrap their head around the fact that he was no more amongst them. Rituals and customs play a

100 Day Gratitude Challenge: Day #2 Gratitude to all the people who provide me food and water

Gratitude to all the people who provide me food and water When I was born, many decades ago, my body weight was just 3.8 kgs and I was a helpless bundle of tissue, bone, flesh, skin, and body mass who had to have everything done for me. Today my body weight hovers around the 76 kgs mark and I think I’m responsible for the lives of so many people who depend on me. How did I get from that to here? The obvious answer is all the food that I gorged upon, since the day I was born. The produce of the earth went into me and grew my muscles, tissues, bones, and body mass to grow into this 5’10” human being who weighs in at around 76 kgs. I am me because of the food and water that I dumped into my stomach, sorry, lovingly deposited into my innards. I would not exist in this plane and talk to you without the food and water that I ingested so far. So obviously, I owe many thanks to the food and water that I have had. But who brought this food to my table? I just did a cursory math of how

Exceptional Sunday

Image
Sunday this week was exceptional. Can you guess why?  C'mon take a guess. Even a wild one. Doubt you will get it right. No, I did not do something out of the world and adventurous. No, I didn't do something stupid or dangerous. No, I didn't do whatever you are thinking. I went for a workshop titled "Exceptionalism". Strange name right? Conducted by my friend Ramya. She's a young trainer who quit her IT job a year ago to follow her passion. Yes, she's one of the bold ones to take that decision and is making it work in a very short time. It was a just a three-hour workshop, but she opened our eyes to what we could do to focus, energise and create our exceptional goal in life and what is required to achieve it. Many of us are just seduced by the routine of our life that we seldom take time out to introspect on what we would REALLY want out of this life. We just settle for what we are currently doing and go with the flow without choosing to take the
