Math Quiz

Q: Mummy had 10 strawberries. She gave one to Jay. How many strawberries left?
A: Umm..10

Why because Jay does not eat starwberries. (Why because is a special pharse used by Nina Dixit because she wants to ask questions and also answer them. Why because she is a like that...)

Sangeeta Factor

J and N,

We all have "our" factor in ourselves..i believe in it..it’s what makes you you..you who loves something. you who hates something. you who is scared of something..you who lives on something..that’s our factor..A huge part of our day we think about this..we think what our factor asks us to think..then we think what we are supposed to think..sometimes it matches and sometimes it does not..when it does not, it is a huge struggle..you vs. you. anything you do, you lose. anything you do, you win. strange situation, right? when it matches, nothing like it. Life suddenly makes sense. Mundane things feel interesting. winter feels like summer..

Sometimes this factor suddenly leaves us...you see it going away and there is nothing you can do but mourn the loss of it..while walking on the streets, you see your factor walking in some other direction..and suddenly you scream "hey, you, come back here..what were you thinking of when you left me? please don't ever do it again"...but "you" does not listen..like it has it's own mind..it goes on..you and you drift apart..life seems boring..meaningless...empty..

and thats when my friend, you need a very very positive diversion..i say positive because thats the only way to get yourself back..because believe it or not, you are precious..your "you" factor is precious..so all you have to do is put one foot in front of other and breathe..don't worry..your "you" factor needs you..its going to come back soon and then the world will make sense again ..for a few seconds atleast..hang in there..

Religion

J and N

you need to remember your mom was a highly spiritual person who did not understand the meaning or purpose of religion. Not that she tried really hard. Somehow she found solace in knowing that she is one of those people who do not need to understand what religion meant in the real world. I say real world because I happen to believe I do not live in it most of the times..you will know when you get to my age..maybe..

Your mom also loved giving new meaning to old things and how can she miss this opportunity...my religion is not Hindu. My religion is to love against all odds..My religion is to love when it is the most difficult thing to do ..my religion is to help when I do not feel like helping at all..my religion is to believe that people who follow religion are just human beings..My religion is to say sorry when I make mistakes. My religion is to get scared when doing things..my religion is to fall and get up and to fall again without having any shame..my religion is to believe..my religion is to admit..my religion is find myself - which is believe me the most difficult thing to do for me..

I want you guys to decide what religion is when you grow up. read books, listen to elders, but find it out yourself. You might as well come up with something really weird and fail at it..but you will own it for once..be proud of it..I am..

I always want you guys to remember this song-

खेळ

काही सांगायचे होते
अन स्वताचेच गुपित ऐकायचे होते
सांगता सांगता आपल्याच मिठीन कोसळून
ऐकता ऐकता हलकेच डोळे पुसायचे होते

काही विसरायचे होते
अन काही आठवायचे होते
विसरता-आठवता हळूच स्वताला हरवायचे होते

काही सांभाळायचे होते
अन काही गमवायचे होते
बंद मुठी उघडून
उधळून सगळे लावायचे होते

खेळ मांडायचे होते
अन मग विसकटून टाकायचे होते
बिखरलेले सावरताना मग
परत स्वताला शोधायचे होते

This is for you, D..

Dear D,

I got to see you at a party. You were such a special 7 year old girl!! screaming, smiling, laughing, hugging other girls.....When the party was over, we found out that you left your jacket there itself..I had your jacket in my hand when you came looking for it..I saw a car waiting outside as you walked in. I tapped on your shoulders and asked you "Are you D? Is this your jacket?" You gave me the sweetest grin ever..loved it! I helped you put on the jacket and as you turned around to go out, I asked you "Is your mom waiting outside?"..you nodded your sweet little head up and down a few times..

Later I came to know your mom is no more..something inside me froze for a few seconds..D, I feel so so connected to you right now for some weird reason..u and me..we are so so similar..I also do the same exact thing when some stranger asks me how is my dad doing..I nod my head up and down a few times..i hope you somehow know right now that, even though I spoke to you like a stranger, I share a little slice of your heart..it must be God's plan that I decided to carry your jacket with me..thank you D!
