Rocket Science & I'm'tution

I take the official right to change the dictionary spelling of 'Intuition'. I replace the 'n' with an 'm' and it would stand for 'mother'. Yup, I think its high time all moms adopt Intuition as their last name!

Com'on which mom wouldn't agree with me - we act with our brains on and with logic that's bounded by intuition. But we never try to fight for what we stand for. We become victims of a couple of male jokes at parties and other such male-oriented-all-we-know kind of conversations. We get labelled as silly moms who worry unnecessarily. I seriously don't know what unnecessary means when it comes to a child means!

Mother's get thanked only after their child nurtures into a good being. All I say is, we mother's need to get more credit for what unseen & untold we do. 

Many thank you(s) are due for sure and because its Mother's day this sunday, I thought this small post would make sense for all those people out there who think its no rocket science!


I came across this beautiful poem - read on

A mother knows when to give a hug to a child who’s not conscious of needing one at all

 

A mother knows when to catch the pieces from a child’s destruction and when to let the pieces fall

 

A mother knows that that something special inside of every child needs something or someone special to reveal it

 

A mother knows that once a child’s delicate heart has been broken, it will take Mother’s Love to heal it

 

A mother knows that she is the “soul” provider for a growing child as the devil is at play

 

A mother knows to go to God, even during the peak hours of the night, wee hours of the morning, and  hub hours of the day

 

A mother knows when a child is in need of warm, sincere

advice

 

A mother knows that her heartfelt suggestions may not always be

right

 

A mother knows that nurturing and molding a well-developed child is a natural mission

 

and when loving and caring for her babies, she knows to always trust her irreplaceable, God given gift of

Motherly Intuition

All respect and salute to all the mother's who made us for what we are today (good & bad)! Happy Mother's Day!

And the race goes on..

It's a mad mad rat race everywhere. Be it a 2 year old or a 70 year old this world doesn't let you just be with yourself for few minutes. There is no moment where one can for a change think of nothing and yet accomplish something. We feel guilty by not converting our thoughts into some kind of material gain.

I think we have moulded this world in certain way that, we are constantly trying to do something that makes us 'visibly an earner' of sorts.

My take on this is totally different. I prefer taking breaks where I don't do anything. I always do things at my pace. I never study for my exams or work towards my profession/career like a mad blind rat, so that I can compare myself with somebody and be at par with my contemporaries. If that make me kind of a looser, so be it. Being a looser or a winner is totally momentary and it just goes out of context when something else that's more achievable comes up! (Big Line and a small line you see..)

 I firmly believe that being ideal is a way that you create serendipity. Its important to just be and be at peace. We need to pace down a bit to try to give way for renewed energy and discover how spectacular one can be.

All my pity is with the kids. We try to enforce from day one of their birth that being competitive is good. We keep comparing. If a kid doesn't recite a poem like kids of his age or doesn't do his number/alphabet orals well, the parent panics and next you find that parent totally devoted to make his kid number one at the next social do.

All I am trying to put forth is, competition is good and to some extent necessary for accomplishments to happen. But, having some space for yourself alone and not do anything is always more better according to me.

Let me know your thoughts too...
