Temple Visit

Why do we visit a temple?

🙏 To make an offering
🙏 To pray for something we desire
🙏 To seek blessings and guidance
🙏 To experience a positive and peaceful atmosphere
🙏 To find inner peace and calmness
🙏 To submit our petitions and wishes
🙏 To mark a special occasion or date
🙏 To meet someone
🙏 To spend some quiet time
🙏 To catch up with friends

But beyond all these reasons, perhaps a temple is a place where we can simply pause, reflect, and connect with ourselves and the Divine. 🪔✨

Lessons of life #1

Before delivery, everyone asks about the mother’s well-being. After delivery, however, one of the most common questions people ask is, “Is the baby crying because there isn’t enough milk?” or “The baby’s stomach isn’t full. Give the baby some milk whenever they cry.”

A baby does not cry only because of hunger. Babies cry for many reasons—they may be sleepy, overstimulated, uncomfortable, too hot or too cold, unwell, gassy, or simply need comfort and closeness.

The baby’s mother is the one who gradually learns and understands her baby’s cues, including when the baby is truly hungry and needs to be fed. Constantly questioning a mother’s milk supply or assuming every cry is due to hunger is unnecessary and can be emotionally distressing during an already sensitive postpartum period.

Instead of making assumptions or offering unsolicited comments, let’s support new mothers with kindness, patience, and encouragement. A little empathy and respect for their journey can make a world of difference.

Hey Orange

Why must I take this color from myself—
hey, orange,
you are lovelier than red,
a flame that knows how to soften.

Red only shouts,
but you speak in warmth,
a quiet fire
that stays.

May I use you for a love story—
where desire glows
instead of burns?

Or must I replace you
with red itself,
raw and loud,
and call that love? ©️athiraaparna

Hey! Are you here by mistake!!!!!!

Hey! Are you here by mistake

Let us frolic in this argent cascade,
You arrive oftentimes like a fleeting guest—
Yet now, you linger as a resident soul.
But today, it feels as though you arrived in error…
A mere mist—scattered, reluctant droplets—
And then you vanish, with neither pause nor farewell.
Your heart longs for a distant realm,
Thus you flee in haste, like a traveler astray.
I remain, yearning for your gentle companionship—
When shall you return once more?
With torrents vast, in resplendent descent,
To drench the earth in glistening reverie?

Priceless

Nothing is priceless

Everything has it’s own price

I am no one to decide the price

My decision on price won’t be same for you

If I search for anything in low cost

Then it won’t worth  enough

If I looks for anything in reasonable

Then it’s difficult to find the true price

So better avoid pricing in terms of quantity

I looks for quality

Then I finds a deduction in quality

Nothing too short

Nothing too long

Everything gets over in a blink of eye

Time is not waiting for me

I need to run for this race

I can’t move backward

At this moment

I need to take more steps

To reach my destination

How is time going for you all?

Thoughts for the Day – Try Harder

Never think some things won’t happen,
Don’t sit back without giving it a try.
Your effort will be answered one day,
Wait for it, and don’t ask why.

Keep striving, and hold on tight,
Patience is your guiding light.
For every step you take with care,
A response will come, just be aware.
