Beauty

 

"Outer beauty attracts,  but inner beauty captivates "

Every woman is born beautiful and unique. Each of God's creation is a masterpiece. 
Tall, short, fair, dusky, thin, well endowed, varied physical features- each one has a different blueprint. 
That is your genetic makeup.
Does it really matter?

What you acquire are your skills, talent, compassion, moral values and aspirations. 
You have the ability to love, procreate and nurture.

What is beauty?
1. A mother carrying her child for nine months with all the baggage that comes with it.
2.The scars sustained during pregnancy and childbirth.
3. The bosom when it latches the newborn to nurture him.
4.The smile on the face when greeting loved ones after a hard day of work.
5. The twinkle in the eyes on being appreciated for cooking a favorite meal for the family.
6.The soothing voice reassuring others in times of difficulty.
7.The sturdy shoulders bearing the weight of all responsibilities. 
8.The wrinkles on the face and grays in  the hair exuding wisdom and experience. 
9.The hardened skin of a manual laborer who toils to support her family.
And the list can go on and on .
Beauty lies in the strength with which a woman multitasks and runs her household along with her work with elan .
Beauty is in the effort  done to bring happiness  in lives of others.
We doctors are a blessed  with an additional  gift of the  "power to heal."
The housemaid is as beautiful as the beauty pageant winner.

The external appearance is but a window to a myriad sea of emotions , attributes and thoughts.
So don't be absorbed in vanity. It's absolutely  fine to not look perfect always.
Beauty lies in the imperfections.

Celebrate your uniqueness and contribute to making a positive difference in this world in your own special way!

The Path Less Taken

The recent viral “IITian Baba” at Mahakumbh, an Aerospace Engineer from IIT Bombay who chose the path of ascetism has triggered a debate. One may argue...What is the purpose of so much education if it cannot be put to good use to earn for the family, serve the society and contribute to the progress of the nation? A precious IIT seat wasted. He chose the easy path – that of escapism from his responsibilities in the garb of “finding meaning to my life”. But is this path really easy? There are many instances of learned, successful and affluent people- CAs, lawyers, heirs of billionaire families- who have renounced worldly pleasures and embraced monkhood. It takes a lot of courage, contemplation, fighting tremendous family resistance and sometimes traumatic emotional experiences to go towards this path.   We have ample talent in our country but how many of the IIT grads do their bit for its progress? Most of them leave abroad for high paying jobs in MNCs and help these corporat...

New Beginnings

I turned a year older this 29 th December and started the New Year with gratitude to the Almighty for the opportunity to live another year, become wiser and gather new experiences. “Some of the best days of our lives haven’t happened yet “ Year endings are new beginnings and times for introspection. Here I am sharing a few lessons I learnt during this journey and my vision for the year to come… 1. The importance of being self- content without depending too much on external factors. The right to keep my own happiness above everything else. Freedom from the thought of “char log kya kahenge” and live my life on my terms. 2. Being a typical type A personality, I am a meticulous planner with to do lists for everything and have a tendency to get anxious. I learnt that worrying over small things is a waste of time and energy. I learnt to reduce my anxiety and leave the things not in my control, to fate. I have become more Bindass and Badass. 3. I am basically an introvert who is av...
