Greatness!

I always used to wonder about the measure of greatness... Is it the following, that one has,or the amount of good work that one does for the mankind or is it something else?..... I think a great man is ever humble,whose main attribute is the humility in every action, one who is not aware of the number of people who are following him and also one who never brags of his achievements... It is not difficult to spot one, for we can feel the aura around the person, if you are subtly aware of the energy around the place... Today morning, the last day of this beautiful year that is passing by, I was suddenly reminded of the retirement of our bank's GM Mr Badshah.In order to wish him, i sent an sms. Within no time I got a call from him.I was pleasantly surprised to talk to him on his busy day of retirement. It was a humbling experience for me.This set me thinking about greatness of being.... I salute you, Badshah sir, You are indeed a greatman!

Purpose of living

As long as the children are dependent on you, the purpose is very clear..to take care of them. Then when they leave the nest and have a life of their own to live,the same purpose is no more relevant.

I was surprised when my daughter told me that I keep needing you in my life because I want you to have that as the reason for living.
It amused me no end to realise that the child is scared that her mother will stop living if that purpose of taking care of her gets over.
I told her that it is not true.
I need to know that my children are strong and can take care of themself. Only then can I turn my life to other meaningful things. I made her understand my point of view.
I am happy that we discussed this.
