  तू मिला है मुझे इस क़दर जैसे तन्हा को मिले हमसफर जैसे मरने वाले को ज़िन्दगी जैसे तरसे को मिले पानी तू मिला है मुझे इस क़दर जैसे मिले गुमशुदा को मंजिल जैसे तपती धूप में छाया जैसे अंधेरे में उजाला तू मिला है मुझे इस क़दर जैसे मायूसी में आशा की किरण जैसे पूरी हो कोई ख्वाहिश जैसे गर्मी में हो बारिश तू मिला है मुझे इस क़दर जैसे दर्द में मिले सुकून जैसे शोर में खामोशी जैसे उदासी में हो खुशी   - Dr. Angelica

  The auspicious occasion has arrived An angel from heaven will descend A special and unique tiny being Will bring along mirth and joy Like the fragrance of fresh bloom Like rainfall after sweltering heat  Like  sunlight in wintery chill Like sparkling stars in the night sky  The divine smile and cooing The patter of small steps The peals of laughter The mischief and banter Are going to fill our lives  Gratitude to the Almighty  For blessings and happiness The auspicious occasion has arrived Dedicated to my brother's baby :)) - Dr. Angelica

  जो है प्यार और दया की मूरत जो करे पूरी सबकी जरूरत जो दे हर कदम पर साथ जो तकलीफ में थामे अपना हाथ जो अपनी खुशी की न करे परवाह जो दर्द में हो जैसे दवा जो दिखाए हमे सच्ची राह जो जगाये कुछ करने की चाह A guiding light A helping hand A loving hug A friendly chat A moral lesson  A great teacher Happy Father's Day to my amazing father❤️   - Dr. Angelica

Lifetimes are spent in seeking approval and adulation of others. We try to impress those around us and yearn to hear words of appreciation. We gloat when we receive that pat on the back and make it a benchmark for measuring our worth. But does not getting a validation from others, for a task well done, negate its significance?  We are all in a rat race to prove ourselves in our personal and professional lives. Our achievements give us gratification only when praised by others. Why do we always depend on others for our happiness? Women do bear the brunt, trying to play myriad roles in different phases of their lives to perfection- daughter, wife, mother, colleague etc. In today's world, your worth is decided by the number of likes and comments you receive on social media. Why have we become so vain?  We are all guilty of depending on too many things for our happiness. This pursuit of happiness while depending on external factors is always going to be elusive.   It's time t...

अपने मुकाम हासिल करने में इतने हम मशरूफ हुए कि फ़िसलते गए रेत की तरह ज़िन्दगी के वो हसीन लम्हे दौलत और शोहरत पाने में छूट गए कुछ अपने रिश्तो में आ गए फासले और रह गई कुछ खूबसूरत यादें कहने को तो 'फेसबुक फ्रेंड्स ' की लिस्ट है बहुत लंबी पर सच्चे यार मिलते है कहा और भीड़ में भी रहते है तनहा याद आते है वो पल दोस्तों के साथ मौज-मस्ती के  काश वो ज़माना फिर लौटे और सजे फिर से महफिलें - Dr. Angelica

Love is a many splendoured thing with infinite definitions and dimensions. It is an emotion felt within translating into words and actions.   Love  is when a doting mother saves the last morsel of food for her child sleeping hungry herself.  Love is when a girl lovingly ties the Rakhi on her elder brother's wrist who in turn vows to protect and support her for life. Love is when an excited preschooler makes a special card to gift his teacher. Love  is when a silver haired granny offers her specs to her irate spouse, who has misplaced his,  to read the newspaper. Love is when an awestruck teenager spends the whole day in front of his beloved's window to get a glimpse of her.    Love is when your best friend skips the happening party to give you company when you are too sick to go. Love is listening to your parents gossip and stories about yesteryears even when you are not interested.  Love is when your husband puts off the alarm and lets you sleep ...

  The blue sky becomes overcast Acquiring a grayish hue fast Clouds jostling with each other A sudden cool breeze drifts farther A light drizzle sprinkles down Making a mosaic on the ground Emanating a heavenly scent Enveloping everything in a glistening tent Chirping birds scurrying in a hurry Trees swaying happily with the flurry Kids jumping gleefully in the puddles Couples strolling with cuddles   Sitting with my cuppa ginger tea I admire this amazing beauty And realise Nature's lessons The impermanence of the seasons Change is the only constant Turbulent times are transient So do not let negativity thrive And keep the beacon of hope alive   - Dr. Angelica Mehta
