Go
star gazing! Like right now, if you're reading this post at night.
Spot
the brightest star of the day, and the stars near it.
Do
you find a pattern?
If
you look more intently, you will soon connect the dots and be amazed
how spectacular they look, up the heavens so high.
Do
they still shine or have they stopped shining?
We
can say the stars are time travellers, as something that happened a
billions of years ago, took exactly a billion years to reach us. So,
what now, do we know what has happened to it in those billion years.
Maybe in some billion years we might find out what happened.
But
the stars still look amazing and we love them.
Life
is just like the stars, and we the time travellers. In some remote
part of our neurological system, resides our memories, some memorable
and some mundane, but safe in its vaults.
There
are life lessons, fear, rejection, frustration, smiles, anxeity,
adrenalin rush, the first day at school, hide and seeks, learning to
swim in the rivers and what not. Thanks for keeping it safe “BRAIN.”
Preeti
Shenoy has just opened her vault sharing her wonderful memories with
the readers. I just loved each and every part of it.
One
of the many things I loved in the book are
when
kids have nothing to complain, they can say “Mom, he is breathing
my air.” I had a great laugh and “Real spies don't wash their
babies' underwear.” Seriously dude!
These
light hearted moments, just reminds us that life can always take a
detour and present you with something that will startle you, but in a
good way. Life is these moments woven, together like a fabric where
each thread depends on the other.
Some
serious conversations converted into a light hearted one, just
because someone said something and still didn't understand what went
wrong.
Kids,
work, learning to ride a bike, silly mistakes and what not the author
has shared will just keep you engrossed in the book and the subtle
remarks by the author, will make you chuckle. Like you can related
it to your own life and how some similar moments unfolded for you.
What
were you doing when it happened?
Where
were you then?
Such
precious moments, I believe have to be documented. These are like gem
stones, one very different from the other but still sparkles like a
diamond. My life can be different from Preeti's, even your too will
be different from that of me and your friend.
Get
those moments documented! May be someday your life can inspire and
motivate us.
Wow!
This is what, the effect of Preeti's book can have on you once you have read
it.
