Joy of Sharing

Natural Calamities are really very devastating. I felt intense pain and helplessness as I watched the News channel giving glimpse of Chennai Flood. The situation seems to be more painful than what we watch in television sitting in the comfort of our homes.

This is an hour of need and we should do our part. We cannot stop such calamities but can always lend our support to the rescue operations going on. Lives of those affected by flood come to a standstill.  Disasters like flood bring with it varied problems which leaves a lasting effect, like hygiene situations, safe drinking water and proper food. 

My mind was flooded with such thoughts when my friend told me about WorldVision India; it’s a humanitarian organization working on various subjects like development, relief, child education etc. I was overwhelmed when I came to know about how well World Vision India is working to help all those affected by flood. 23 relief camps have been set up in communities that World Vision works; children and adults in the relief centers have been supplied with food, biscuits, water packets, blankets and towels. Apart from this World Vision India with its proactive vision is formulating plan and looking for interventions to address issues like sanitation and health to the people in relief camps. They are supplying oral hydration packets and necessary medicines in the camp. I've been following them on social media and impressed about their work. Do Visit their Twitter handle and Facebook page to get latest updates and more information on the ongoing situation.

  

The flood has caused massive destruction, trauma is huge and the journey is long with stages of rescue, relief, restoration, rehabilitation and recovery. We all need to connect in solidarity and do our best possible to alleviate sufferings of people. It is of immense relief that we have societies like World Vision India, working selflessly to provide quality services carrying out relief operations even in the remote locations.

Friends Forever

“There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.”

Thomas Aquinas

Friendship is the bond of love and care. Moments spend with friends are the treasure of life. They are the best memories to cherish for a lifetime. This relationship revolves around mutual trust, admiration and compatibility. Friends are savior and partners through thick and thin.

Busy schedules and hectic life styles leave us with very little time to interact with friends. Office work and home chores keeps me so pre-occupied that sometimes its days without any conversation with my friends. I am a real lazy person too. But the same is not true with my husband. He has a few very good friends, who not only connect on whatsApp but make time to meet in person whenever possible not at least ones a month. I really appreciate the way they have developed this relationship over time, their Yaari Dosti moments are full of live and energy. They are friends irrespective of good time or bad times. Such special bonds are hard to find.

This year in the month of November I received a very special gift from my husband. It was Saturday my weekly off and my husband was in office. I received a call from him and he asked me to meet him for lunch at the city mall. I got ready reached the mall and the moment I stepped into his favourite restaurant I got my biggest surprise, he had invited my childhood friend Dharti who had recently came from America to meet her mother. We hugged each other and tears of happiness rolled down my eyes. Done with the lunch my husband left for his office and we opened our hearts and souls to each other. We became buddies instantly though we were meeting after a long gap of 8 years. It was much satisfying and I felt so loved.

No matter how busy life remains guys just get up be in touch with your buddies and share a hug with your long lost friend, celebrate responsibly, nothing it more pleasant than this.

Friendship is sharing joy happiness, sadness and grief. We don’t have to explain our emotions to friends they know when we are happy and when we are sad. That day I realized that friendship is the basis of any relationship be it husband & wife. Love follows thereafter.
