Random Gyan #13: Grouch

Pradita Kapahi / February 19, 2018

Miserable people are grouchy.

If you are a grouch, find something that makes you happy.

If you aren’t, find something that makes the grouch happy.

And if nothing makes the grouch happy,

Run miles away before they turn you into a grouch.

        I’ve been quite busy, unfortunately. So I’m not able to write or read others’ posts. I must learn time management.

It's the last Friday of this month and that brings us to the 14th installment of the We Are The World Blogfest or #WATWB. This month, I had something else in mind for WATWB, but when I opened the newspaper today, I read a heartwarming story of pure goodness and compassion where one man put humanity ahead of religion and broke his Ramzan fast to save the life of an 8 year old Hindu boy's life. With this act of selfless love, Jawed Alam, the one who donated blood to the boy of 8, proved that following the path to God has nothing to do with being ritualistic, it’s about spreading the light, love, hope and helping your brethren in times of need. . . . For the rest of the story, please head to the blog (link in bio) and like, comment, share. Those of you who are interest in being a part of the #WATWB family, please follow the instructions provided in my blog post. . . . . In darkness, be light. #WATWB #blogfest #blogging #humanity #religion #ritualism #kindness #compassion #brotherhood #light #beingthelight #love #goodness #humane #islam #hinduism #ramzan #ramadan #holymonthoframadan #fasting #belief #help #aid #charity #blooddonation #donating #praditakapahi #thepraditachronicles.com

I co-sleep with my daughter and she has a habit of snuggling up to me in bed. I love the feeling! But last night, I woke up with a start and when I groped in the dark, I couldn’t find her. Within seconds I found her at the very edge of the other side of the bed. Relief swamped me as I pulled her back to me, but that fleeting moment when I couldn’t find her was tortuously long! It’s then that it occurred to me that somewhere some hapless mother’s hands may have groped in the dark chill of the night in hopes of finding that familiar warmth and found emptiness instead. My heart goes out to such mothers. It’s to them that I dedicate this poem. Your loss is huge and though there may be others who’s warmth you will come to share in time, that loss is irreparable. Even if I don’t know you, know that I feel for you. #poetry #poet #amateurpoet #igpoetsofindia #poetsofig #poetsofindia #poetsofinstagram #instapoetry #amateurwriter #bloggingmom #loss #death #untimelydeath #demise #child #motherhood #children #freeverse #sadness #irreparableloss #ontheblog #praditakapahi #thepraditachronicles.com

I know this looks bad, like a child's work (no, I think even kids can do better than this), but the only reason why I'm posting this today, out to the world, is because I've always, always been a scaredy cat when it comes to doing something new and something that I have no experience of. . . One of those things has been painting with watercolors... I mean sure I've used them along with other mediums but I've never JUST used watercolors because I'm so scared about the colors all blending into one muddy glob of brown. I suck at blending which is why I never tried my hand at painting since high school. I've only started again about a year back, but always hesitated using watercolors. My go to medium has been aquarelle pencils or just sketching with charcoal pencils. Of late I've also began sketching with micron pens. . . But today I told myself - why are you such a pansy about them? What's the worst that could happen? You will have wasted paper and colors but not time... No, not time. Because you used it for practice. Not everything has to be perfect! Who will know if you fail. And even if you do, so what?! . . And so I started... I painted some three doodles before I began this one and initially even this looked like it wasn't going to amount to much and I was this close to giving up... yet again. But then the bleeding colors began to resemble the forms that I was trying to paint. And then this happened 😊 😊 . . Point is, even though, there's much, much more to learn, this was a beginning, a step to overcome that fear of trying something new. . . So a pat on my back and hurrah for one good effort. Like they say in Hindi - Darr ke aage jeet hai (there's victory beyond fear). P. S. - This is based on an illustration I saw on pinterest. This is not an original work of mine. It's a copy. . .
