Jalsa, Mumbai April 16/17, 2023 Sun/Mon 8:21 AM
🪔 .. April 17 .. birthday of Ef Samarth Pawar from UAE (hope I got the name right .. Rasika ??) .. and anniversary of our Blog Home .. both turning 15 years .. and the endearment and affection of the Ef on this loving DAY .. happiness always .. ❤️
yes the mornings continue to inspire the thoughts for the day .. the entire day and as I get down to the connect , there is an entire DAY devoted to the well wishers who come from day on day and never flinch a look an expectation for that short moment at the gates of Jalsa ..
and I felt they deserve a presence on this platform .. so there ..
the gifts and the mementos given with so much effort and love is so endearing and loved by me .. but the problem is I am running out of space .. where to keep them .. some adorn the home .. some the desk .. some I do wear .. and what of the rest .. ?
I do understand the love , but is there some way of restricting the gifts .. I know it is harsh to say this but if there is a solution then I would welcome it ..
the physicality of the body is rapidly becoming the most needed element in every day lives of the aged .. move keep mobile , get up and get , work out the system .. even the voice .. for that is what the necessary need is of the moment ..
So .. get up to put that switch on .. fetch that glass of water on your own .. pull out the dress and clothes to be worn by the self .. wipe clean the area where you sit yourself .. clean the wash room .. check on the non function ability of a mechanism yourself - a fused bulb, a short circuited wire fuse , a non functioning door knob or key hole , get the W40 and spray it yourself till it functions , remove the power plug to the set top box or the Apple box to restart the play if it does not work or freezes ( most equipments do get back to function mode when that is done - or so I have seen the Tech guy do ), get the washing powder and wash clean some of the personal garments while in the wash room , wipe and maintain the dust free requirement of your music system - they are sensitive electronics and do need personal attention , drive as often as possible your car , to prevent it lying idle till work starts and getting signals that the battery needs attention , clean the personal car if you value it yourself , gives an immense sense of happiness , wipe that glass window clean rather than wait for the professional to come and do it , do the manicure pedicure and the hair , …. get the books in order on the rack , get the desk clear of paper work ..
aaahhh .. the list goes on ..
but such a joy to be mentioning all of this .. for this is I believe the routine for all .. is it not ..
oh and yes .. if a garden , tend to it often , speak to the plants , they respond - the flowers and the leaves and creepers ..
AND .. yes walk .. walk to greet the well wishers .. some that see the recent pictures ask .. why bare feet ?!
Have an answer to that .. ?
.. no its not just the temple .. its the temple outside the gates as well ..
.. and the Sunday ends .. till the next ..
back to work and domesticity .. and the preparation for the work in a few days the one that taxes me .. and that causes that anxiety before every new project ..
My love and care as ever ..
