Yesterday I had visited a nursery, nearby my house. I wanted to get some saplings for my home. I met the person who was handling the nursery and inquired about few specific saplings but don’t know why he didn’t seem in mood to serve a customer. So I had to look for the other one.

A few kilometers away I found another nursery; and the owner was an Old Man. Again, I inquired about specific saplings which I needed and that Old Man replied calmly. That Old Man displayed and picked the best saplings for me. In fact, I also got an extra plant which I had not planned to buy.

When I was done with my plants need it was time to calculate the total price. I had to help that Old Man in calculating the total price. It was Rs. 320 only. I was having the change of Rs. 320, so I offered him the money and requested him to get arranged all those saplings on my scooter. At that time he didn’t took money and got busy in finding a big bag to carry.

After that, with due care he kept all the saplings in that bag. He didn’t allow me to help him in keeping those saplings in the bag! Like it was his duty and he wanted to do it with full dedication! Once he kept all the saplings in the bag, again I offered him that money which I was holding for him. And his answer touched my heart. That old man said, “I’ll take money only after I’ll finish my work!”

He carried that bag of saplings and arranged it perfectly on my scooter.  So on the way back home I didn’t get troubled and most importantly his saplings which he had nurtured carefully were in the best condition till the end! After finishing all his duties, he took the money and smiled! This whole experience made me the permanent customer of that Old Man even though his nursery is far from my house!

This is an example of delivering beyond the limit. As a customer I was not only satisfied but over whelmed. The product was well created and nicely taken care of! The dealing with the customer was calm and with the approach to offer best services. The price was reasonable. The packaging didn’t harm the product. It made so comfortable to travel along with the product even on the scooter. And most importantly the dedication and hard work of that Old Man towards his work responsibilities was commendable! And the smile was the cherry on the top!

If an Old Man (who was illiterate) can set the example of calmness, work responsibility, hard work, dedication and customer care that too with the smile on face; definitely we all should and can… ad

PS: In the past I had kept a Gardner to take care of my plants but yesterday I planted all those saplings on my own. And trust me it felt so good like I had visited seashore or been on the top of a mountain. Yesterday I understood planting on our own can also be a way to get connected to the nature! The feeling was awesome. I’m so grateful to God… ad

I don’t have a pet dog. And I know, few people will definitely think that I’m not allowed to say anything about this topic. But still, I am writing this blog because of an incident happened today morning. Well as per my understanding about the ‘Pet Dogs’, people keep dogs in their houses considering them a family member just because a dog is an animal who LOVES a lot! And from a dog we humans can also LEARN to love unconditionally. Correct me Pet Dog Owners if I’m wrong!

Every day, I and my husband go for a walk in the morning. And every day we see lot of people coming with their Pet Dogs for a walk. It feels good to see those cute faces in the morning. But we all know why pet owners go for a walk along with their Dogs! So their dogs can poop in the streets & the roadsides and they can keep their own house litter free. I checked on Google to find any law in India, against it but couldn’t find any. Sad! We still need to work on it.

Let me narrate today’s incident. A Man with curly hairs and a Woman were walking with their two big white dogs. (I’m sorry I cannot understand the dog breed by looking at them.) At the same time, a lady was cleaning the road. And she seems to be working for Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC). Her face was covered with a cloth because she was cleaning the road. That Man with curly hairs allowed his Pet Dog to poop in the front of a gate of an apartment. And that lady worker asked that Man to not to allow his Dog to do so, particularly at that place.

Instead of saying and feeling sorry, that curly haired man started shouting at her! Between the arguments when that lady inquired about his place of living (May be she wanted to complaint about this Man’s behavior); that Man started talking in abusive language with her, and said “I’m living in ‘Sarthi’, come with me I’ll show you my house” and even raised his hand to slap her!!!

I and my husband both shouted at that moment and asked him to stop! But that fellow started talking rubbish with us too. I felt so awkward when I found that so many people were gathered by that time but no one raised their voice against that man’s acts and abusive language. (Instead people were expecting us to not to intervene.) Somehow the matter closed because that lady again started cleaning the road and we felt useless talking to that strange person.

I don’t understand why few persons are using these kinds of abusive words at public place and that too in higher tone of voice! And behave weirdly with another human (a woman, a worker, a cleaner and a poor is also a human); as if it’s a ‘Style Statement’! Please stop having this kind of approach with anyone! This kind of behavior of that Man, only created an impression on all of us that in spite of having a family member like a ‘Dog’ he hasn’t learned anything in life! Please at least learn to have compassion from your own Pet!

This incident encouraged me to search laws and guidelines for the Pet Owners. I found the guidelines by Animal Welfare Board of India dated 26th February, 2015. You can check the whole article at the link given below. According to the Point number 4 from the Guidelines for Pet Owners – Pet owners, or the care-givers or dog walkers they entrust their pets to, are advised to either clean up the pet defecates in public premises, or participate in other solutions for maintaining cleanliness. Such civic sense is the need of the hour in our country and it is also a courtesy to other users of public spaces.

Dear Pet Dog Owners please try to understand, it’s about our own neighborhood, our own city and our own country. There is not any strict law in our country, but please have some civic sense and courtesy for others.

Please have some concerns about the people who are cleaning the streets and roads which we only use every day. Stop creating litter on roads and streets by any means. Please contribute in Clean India Mission by understanding these little things!

And please don’t use those words, which you cannot speak in front of your own parents and children. No one likes to hear those words and weird behavior. Trust me you don’t look modern or smart or fashionable with those abusive words in your mouth.

And last but not the least – if you find someone misbehaving with the other, please do your best to stop that person. Additionally, if someone has raised a voice against that misbehavior add your voice too. It gives the strength to that truthful person and to that victim both. Don’t just stop and watch the scene, contribute with your wise words and help in solving the matter with calmness… ad

આદર્શનો આધાર લઈને જીવતા મનુષ્યના મૌનને;
તું મર્યાદા સમજવાની કોશિશ ન કર...

વીતી ગયેલી વાતોનાં વહેણને છોડી દે;
તું સમયની સરિતાને રોકવાની કોશિશ ન કર...

દાવાનળને ફક્ત એક તણખલાંની જ વાર છે;
તું સત્યના સૂરજને સંતાડવાંની કોશિશ ન કર...

જે એક હાથે આપીશ, તે જ બીજા હાથે પામીશ;
તું અજાણ અને અબોલ જીવને છેતરવાની કોશિશ ન કર...

જીવનની ખારાશ એ જ અનુભવનું મોતી છે;
તું જ્ઞાનના સાગર ને શાંત કરવાની કોશિશ ન કર...

અનેક રંગ અને અનોખી સુગંધ એ જ એની ખૂબી છે;
તું પ્રેમનાં પુષ્પ ને પારખવાની કોશિશ ન કર...

આખરી પડાવની નિરંતર ખોજ એ જ જીવનનો ધ્યેય છે;
તું સફળતાનાં શિખરને અંત સમજવાની કોશિશ ન કર...

અંધશ્રદ્ધાનો ઉત્પાત સૃષ્ટિ સમાન કદી નહિ બને;
તું રચયિતાની રચના કરવાની કોશિશ ન કર... ad

Meaning:

To the Silence of a human who is living on the basis of Idealism;
Don’t try to consider it as (her / his) Limitation…

Let go off all the passed away streams of Talks;
Don’t try to obstruct the river of the Time…

Extensive forest fire only requires a blade of grass;
Don’t try to hide the Sun of Truth…

You’ll receive the same to your one hand, whatever you are giving with the other;
Don’t try to deceive any unaware and voiceless Being…

Saltines of the life are the only Pearls of Experience;
Don’t try to calm the Ocean of the Knowledge…

Countless colors and exceptional fragrance is only its Significance;
Don’t try to analyze the Flower of Love…

The aim of the life is - to constantly explore for the final destination;
Don’t try to consider it an end to the Peak of a success…

The turbulence of superstition will never become equivalent to the existence;
Don’t try to create the Creator (of the existence)… ad

Soft and soothe drops were falling onto me,
I looked up but it wasn’t drizzling…

It felt some stream was passing through,
and I could feel the moisture in everything…

I pinched myself, to check whether it isn’t a dream;
it was the truth and I was soaked within…

I was tangibly in the middle of a street,
but I was dancing without any hymn…

It was the sweat of long wait and silence;
I stretched my arms and got the wings…

I found the root and could touch the peak;
white horses were running on the green top hill…

I realized the fact that I have never cried;
I had the glance of an ocean which is pure and still…

It was definitely the capturing moment;
I had fallen in love with none other than me…

That moment asked me “Why don’t you smile?”
I turned desire less and became a 'Smile'… ad

Son: Mumma, what is Gandhi?
Mother: It's a surname.
Son: Oh! I thought it's a name of ‘Gandhiji’. 
Mother: Nope. His name is ‘Mohandas’ and ‘Gandhi’ is a surname. His full name is ‘Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi’, and ‘Karamchand’ is the name of his father. 
Son: Why his mother's name isn't there? Was she dead at that time?
Mother: No! She wasn't dead. See, your full name is ‘Tanish Nilesh Darji’ and you know I'm alive. People write full names this way only.
Son: Why?
Mother: Don't know why but it is like that from centuries, I guess... 

(I always feel bad when I know that I haven't answered my son sensibly. This isn't the answer which I think I should have given.)

After this much of conversation he got busy with his studies but his argument ‘WHY?’ has started roaming in my head constantly. And the thing which disturbed me the most was the perception he got through the concept of writing the ‘Full Name’ - He thought Gandhiji’s mother was ‘Dead’ and that’s why her name was not included in his full name!

Mothers are always important to the children and I’m glad my son felt the lack of the mother’s name and concluded on his own. But from centuries when it comes to give some authentication, only father’s name gets included to the Full Name and mothers have always kept silence to this. I know there are people like ‘Sanjay Leela Bhansali’ who adds their mother’s name as a middle name and that shows the time is changing and people’s thoughts & beliefs too!

Here with this blog I’m neither changing my Full name by including my mother’s name nor am I expecting anyone to do so. I cannot judge between my mother and father - whose role in my life is more important, because both of them are equally important. Every one of us has loved our parents equally, and so do I. But my mother never expected her name to get included in my full name. She is like that only. I really don’t have words to describe her. But only I can say is - She is the role model of ‘Simple Living and High Thinking’.

So, I tried to look at this concept of ‘Full Name’ from the different point of view. Okay, let me be clear. I thought about this concept as my own mother’s point of view. And I got the clear answer why all mothers from centuries have kept silence about the lack of their name in their own child’s full name! – Mothers are ready ‘to even Die’ in the history of her child’s fame story! And only a ‘Mother’ is capable of giving such sacrifice. This is the greatness of a Mother. And thanks to God every one of us has one…

She has been keeping silence from years but we as child need to remember this silence. We shouldn’t forget our own core which has molded by our mothers. To show our gratitude, we don’t need to add her name in our ‘Full name’. We just need to thank our mother silently when we add a page of success to our fame story. We will never be capable of describing our gratefulness towards our mother in words; but I’m sure they’ll definitely understand our ‘silent’ thank you… ad

“No one understands my silence and when I speak my heart loud, it feels annoyed, ignored and worthless…. It feels likes no one really cares… No one really loves…. No one seems to be the correct… I’m being far away from everyone I know… Nothing is really good and nothing seems to be true… Nothing really matters … I’m being feeling less… Everything in the outer world seems to be normal but I know it’s robotic from my side… In my inner world there is no voice, no light, no fight, no smiles, no tears, no colors and not any fruitful way… And I’m all alone in this silent darkness of my innermost world….” These are the thoughts a woman has!

And that doesn’t make any difference with the status she carries like single, in relationship, engaged, married, or even available. What matters is how frequent such thought comes to her mind. And being in such a hell of her inner world if you ask her about her life, she can give a beautiful smile and reply ‘Perfect’! Yes she can lie even if looking at your eyes because she knows you’ve never tried to check her inner beauty, her innermost world ever! You’ve never gone beyond her body.

Women are suffering from the culture, religion and society made by Men from centuries. And at certain level it’s still continued everywhere in the world! And that’s why this term called ‘Women Empowerment’ is trending all over. But a woman DOES NOT take this change called ‘Empowerment’ as a comparison or a competition or revenge against Men or Manhood.

I strongly believe a woman doesn’t need an empowerment because she knows she is the one who crafts the power. She doesn’t need and not even seeking men’s acceptance because she is still struggling to accept herself, her needs and her role being a human. She doesn’t want to become like a man in any ways because she knows she is courageous, gentle and gorgeous in her own unique way. Well my purpose to write a blog on ‘What a Woman wants…” is not only for a Man to value her Woman. There are huge numbers of Women also who need to value first themselves and then the other woman.

This is for the ones who really believe in ‘Equality’ and understand that to bring equality to this world, ‘Rising of a woman’ is needed. This is for the ones who want to ‘Save the Humanity’ because biologically only a woman can bring new life on earth. And the way she thinks and believes about herself she’ll create and nurture the upcoming generation so. This is for the ones who want to bring a ‘Positive Change’ as a Human with awareness.

If you really want to know ‘What a woman wants…’ ask yourself first. You already know that! It’s the same thing what you want for yourself because you’ve been created only from a merger of a Woman and a Man. So, half of your own being is also a Woman even if you are physically a Man. And if you cannot get the answer from yourself just ‘Watch’ and ‘Listen’ and ‘Tender’ the woman of your house. The healthiness of your house is clearly depends on how women of your house is feeling!

In clear words the answer to the question ‘What a woman wants…’ is - She wants ‘Absolute Freedom’ to be herself. She ‘can’, she ‘has’ and she ‘will’ achieve that freedom on her own. But if you really want to contribute towards ‘Rising of a woman’ you can ‘help’ her in getting freedom through many ways.
  • Understand this fact clearly - She is not an ‘Object’ of a man’s pleasure and not even a ‘Machine’ of reproduction. Change your perception. She is much more than you even can think of…
  • Help her to be free from the way you ‘Look’ at her. Not with the Lust and not even with the Pity. Stop even imaging…
  • Help her to be free from the ‘Judgments’ and ‘Advises’ right from the age of your daughter to your grandmother. About her virginity, about carrying a child, about becoming a mother, about working late night, about partying out with friends, about wearing clothes and about her smile…
  • Help her to be free from all the ‘Customs and Rituals’. She doesn’t believe in those so-called regional, cultural and social ‘Restrictions’. Give her a break…
  • To produce or not to produce a life through her body is her own choice. Anyways the earth is over burdened by human population. Don’t make her ‘Emotional Fool’
  • Biologically, she can & may give birth to a new life but you must know that motherhood is completely different concept and it’s not her responsibility. ‘Motherhood’ can be performed by anyone! Seriously anyone…
  • Help her to be free from all ‘Household’ responsibilities. It’s not only her duty to keep up it perfectly. You can always share her responsibilities. It’s not a big deal…
  • Stop her becoming the one which she is not by dragging her into your own mood. Listen to her cautiously. Don’t make her say lie. Let her ‘Heart’ rule her fortune…
  • She is not your possession. Stop reducing to her a thing and binding her to different kinds of bondage. That will only destroy her love towards you.
  • She can multitask but don’t expect perfection in each aspect. Don’t take her for granted. Always ‘Be a part’ of her happiness and sadness both…
  • She also has some physical desires like a man has. That doesn’t make any difference in her ‘Character’
  • She discovers the changes in her body at some phases of her life. And she always expresses them by one or the other way. Treat her with compassion and don’t let her feel shy for that…
  • She is the ocean of love and can fill the world with joy and bliss. But that depends on how much she ‘Respects’ herself and the people of her surroundings! Earn her respect. That’s the only foundation of her true love…
  • She is mysterious and loves her 'Aloneness' to rejoice her feminine qualities! Give her sometime on daily basis to keep a space from everything and everyone…

Remember this - She is beautiful, charming, courageous, generous, sensitive, sincere and responsible ‘Altogether’. Trust her qualities and she’ll prove all correct… ad
