  What is our legacy for our children…Material or Memories? Childhood stays as the most cherished and beautiful phase in anyone’s life. What our kids would reminisce most about their childhood? How our kids would remember us eventually? Let us take a moment to ask ourselves and reflect? We are struggling day and night for securing a better future for our children. In the process of facilitating them a luxurious lifestyle, pacing up with peer pressure, somewhere, securing in the future , the present itself is getting missed. Children will not remember you for the material things you provided but for the feeling that you cherished them. ”      Richard L. Evans  The early years are the formative years, casting an impression of living a life. Are we setting the right example? These formative years develop a strong foundation of a kid, cultivate into an emotionally secure human being. So the involvement and the attention required from the parents is the mos...

प्रीत के फूल  कुछ शिकवें हैं   नासूर से, अंगारों से  दफ्न हैं मेरी सिम्त में  दहकते सिन्दूरी लाल  ना छेड़ो इन्हें कि ज्वालामुखी फूट जाएंगे  इंतेज़ार है तो बस उस बरसात का  जब ये दह्कते शोले बर्फ़ हो जायेंगे  इस ग़र्म बेनूर राख़  में  प्रीत भरे रिश्तों के फूल खिल आएंगे  -मीनाक्षी 

I am desperate For you I believe So are you The rain pours there On the most dry patch In the darkest backdrop The spark Illuminates the most If there is despair Hope stays just the next door When I seek you Wholeheartedly, insanely You will appear Absolutely, Abundantly
