Happiness optimism and positivity has a great effect on your mind.Since not choosing is a choice I like to have my  Sunday open-ended.

No agenda .

A little  drawing with Rai a lot of cuddling. Wishing time would stand still and rush at the same time.

A little housework.A tiny bit of  decluttering.External chaos is after all a sign of inner chaos

Folding and keeping away the clothes(really hate this).At least some of them.Staring at my  baby mustard leaves.

Thinking about the naughty sparrow that broke a few branches of my jasmine.

Trying to cook creamy matar masala without messing it up.

Not really doing a lot .

The brain needs a break. Making it a point to have the Indian soldiers in my prayers.

Hoping to go watch a movie like Gumnaami.

Hoping India and Delhi wakes up.to the idea of vertical gardening and green walls on all buildings to stay healthy and improve the countries lungs.

At this rate we won’t survive.

I wondered today at the news.

It’s only Bad news that makes the cut.

What about good news? 

Why don’t  these politicians  work towards decreasing pollution ?

Why didn’t the Delhi government take preventive steps ? 

Why didn’t they insist on growing  green walls with every new building projects ? 

Why do we always have to work backwards?

Why can’t we prevent?

Maybe we can.If you and me want to do something we can.

This studyfound that blogging about a relative suffering from cancer Helps in coping mechanism.

Can blogging help us fight this battle?

I think it’s not  too late.We can still do a lot .

Can we give our children fresh air?

Can we give them sunshine?

Can we them a healthy life?

I am stuck in a small town in West Bengal .Not much here but the pollution is still there.

My home has 80 plants .That helps me .

1 to 3 per 100 square feet is said to be adequate.

Will you promise yourself to do a little for the environment ? 

That will make this a very #Happy Sunday.

Let me know in the comment below,what your plan to do to help the environment  and yourself?

When the Storm came

 

Clear blue sky and the azure sea looked perfect.
The water calmed her down.Sania really didn’t want to do this .But there really was no other way.

The other way was too difficult .
Taking the last swig from the bottle ,she stood up
Walking slowly towards the edge .
Not noticing the knot of angry clouds.
With one feet balanced on the platform she let her robe fall  .
The last swim.

“Sania…..where are you?”
Ayushman’s voice jolted her
She turned .
Almost falling into the suddenly choppy waterfront!
Ayushman  caught her.
“A storm is coming , don’t go swimming now!
Have you been drinking?”
A drop rolled off Sania’s  eyes.

You don’t know when your loved one’s may be needing you.The problem with depression is , outwardly things may look perfect.Only one thing ,may be needed to topple the balance. Take care of yourself and those who need you.

Alcohol and other substance abuse can make situations worse.There’s always help .Don’t give up.

Danger signs for people at risk:

Don’t walk that path.Life is too beautiful .

Stories have the power of transforming lives . Of explaining difficult issues easily.

Depression and suicide is unfortunately commonplace nowadays.What’s it common is giving and getting help.

Be kind to yourself and others.You don’t know when you may be saving someone’s life .
